Is there a way to stop users from installing applications or software on Windows devices unless the IT/security team has approved them?
I’m looking for something like an app installation approval flow in Hexnode. Most of our devices are Windows Pro, with a few Windows Home devices. Ideally, users should only be able to install approved apps, and we may also need exceptions for specific devices later.

Hi @eduardo,
Hexnode does not currently provide an interactive app installation approval workflow where a user requests permission and an admin approves each installation.
However, you can control Windows app installations using a combination of approved app deployment and app restrictions:
This gives users access to a self-service catalog containing only admin-approved applications.
For a stricter setup, Allowlist is usually the better option because only approved applications are permitted.
For Windows devices, policy-based control is generally more reliable on Windows Pro or Enterprise editions. Windows Home has limited support for many management policies, so it may not enforce the same restrictions effectively.
