Description of the new feature / enhancement

Companies do see value in some of the PowerToys features that help with daily tasks, which allows the users to be more productive.

However, since the introduction of Mouse Without Borders, this has now become a security concern for IT Admins. Some company polices do not allow personal devices to either access, connect, and/or share data with company issued devices. MWB allows users to circumvent these policies.

Please provide IT Admins with the ability to control features within PowerToys (e.g. Intune).

Scenario when this would be used?

Intune

Hello and thanks for your message. Do you men (e.g.) Group Policy? Because that is possible with PowerToys.

We do have ADMX ingested in Intune. Can you direct me to the policy documentation?

Didn't know this. Needs an update to implement the updater and experimentation policies.
