In today’s blog, I will address a question from one of our community members, who is looking to create a report for tracking Windows 11 upgrades via Azure Automation Runbook and Microsoft Intune. He has tried to gather enrolled devices details using a runbook but hasn’t found a solution yet. In this post, we will demonstrate how to generate a report on Windows 11 upgrade tracking with Intune and Azure Automation.
Windows 11’s redesigned right-click context menu has its fans and its detractors — some users love the cleaner default; others miss “Show more options” being a single click away. As an Intune admin you’ll get pulled into both camps, often by the same VIP. The good news is that the classic context-menu behaviour can be restored centrally with a single registry key, deployed cleanly through Intune via the Settings Catalog or a tiny PowerShell remediation. This post documents the registry tweak, the Intune deployment workflow, and how to make the change reversible per user.
Windows 11 has brought some changes to the Windows Explorer, including the way the context menu looks. By default, the context menu is reduced to the really necessary functions. This is sufficient for most users. However, if you often need functions that are not in the reduced view, then this can be a hindrance in the workflow. In this blog I want to show you how to get back the Windows 10 context menu with the help of Intune.
This is the step-by-step guide to creating a Windows 11 Hyper-V VM I use whenever I need a clean Windows 11 test machine for Microsoft Intune, Autopilot, or any other endpoint scenario. From enabling Hyper-V to configuring the VM with the right TPM, secure boot and network settings — all in one place.
With Windows 11, the hardware requirements have been increased. It is no longer possible to start a Windows 11 machine in Hyper-V without additional settings. In this blog post, I explain what you need to do to run Windows 11 in a VM.

Windows 11 ships with a consumer-flavoured Microsoft Teams app pre-installed, separate from the enterprise Teams client your organization actually deploys. For most managed fleets you’ll want exactly one Teams app on the device (the enterprise version), and the consumer one is at best confusing and at worst a support-ticket generator. This post walks through three options to remove it cleanly with Microsoft Intune: a one-line PowerShell remediation that uninstalls the consumer Teams package per-user, a provisioning-package approach that prevents new user profiles from getting it, and the AppLocker / WDAC route for tamper-resistant deployments.
A built-in Teams client is shipped with Windows 11. This client can only be used with a personal Microsoft account. This client is usually not welcome in corporate environments. How to remove this built-in client with the help of Intune I will show you in this blog post.

For many users, the centered taskbar in Windows 11 is unfamiliar. To make the transition a bit easier for users, we’ll take a look at whether there’s a way to align the taskbar to the left like in Windows 10.
