Turn off Push To Install service

This computer-scoped policy controls whether users can push apps to this device for installation from Microsoft Store on another device or on the web.

since 0.9.8.11

Purpose

Show registry keys (1)
  • HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\PushToInstall\DisablePushToInstall

This computer-scoped policy controls whether users can push apps to this device for installation from Microsoft Store on another device or on the web.

The registry value uses the REG_DWORD type. A value of 1 blocks these push installations. A value of 0, or the absence of the policy value, does not enforce this restriction.

Notes

Security

The policy removes one channel through which users can initiate app installations remotely. It is not a general application-control policy: it does not, by itself, block local installation methods, other deployment mechanisms, or Microsoft Store as a whole.

Notes

Despite its display name, the documented policy effect does not configure the startup type of the Windows PushToInstall service. Its specific function is to prevent apps from being pushed to the device from Microsoft Store on another device or on the web.
