Change Request 264345 Enable “Allow Available Uninstall” in PatchMyPC Publisher for Win32 Apps in Intune.

Description: Details of Maintenance:

A configuration update will be applied to PatchMyPC Publisher to enable the “Allow available uninstall for Win32 apps in Intune” setting. This change will allow all Available applications published via PatchMyPC to be uninstalled by end users through the Company Portal.

In addition, a Microsoft Graph API script will update all existing PatchMyPC-published Win32 apps in Intune to ensure the uninstall option is enabled for apps already marked as Available.

Benefit of Change:

Enables end-user self-service for uninstalling optional software.

Reduces IT support burden for basic uninstall requests.

Aligns PatchMyPC deployments with modern application lifecycle practices.

Retains strict control for Required applications, which are not affected.

Impact to Customers

Users will gain the ability to uninstall Available applications directly via the Company Portal.

No impact to users with Required apps or apps installed by other methods.

Users will not be prompted or forced to take any action.

Impact to Other Services/Websites

No impact expected to external services or websites.

Intune service will be used via Microsoft Graph API but within approved API usage guidelines.
