Filter hidden/core components from Intune's new App Inventory feature

My organization recently begin implementing the new App Inventory feature in Intune for our Windows devices. However when compared to the 'Discovered Apps' inventory, the new inventory lists hidden Universal Windows Platform applications/updates (items like "AppResolverUX.exe", "FileExplorer.exe", and "AddSuggestedFoldersToLibraryDialog.exe" to name a few). Is there a way to filter these from the inventory listing or are there plans to implement some sort of filter in the future?

Intune’s new App inventory feature does not currently provide a built‑in option to filter out core/hidden Windows components such as AppResolverUX.exe, FileExplorer.exe, or similar system UWP components from the inventory list.

App inventory is designed to report “all applications detected on the device regardless of how they were installed,” and the App Inventory tab “displays the full list of applications detected on the device, including all the properties you selected in the inventory policy.” The available configuration is focused on which properties (metadata fields) are collected and shown, not on excluding specific classes of apps from collection or display.

The documentation also does not describe any roadmap or planned feature to add filtering of system/hidden components within App inventory. Any future changes would be communicated through the usual Intune “in development” or “what’s new” channels, but there is no mention of such a filter in the provided material.

So, at present:

  • There is no supported way in App inventory to hide or filter out those core/hidden UWP components from the inventory view.
  • Both managed and unmanaged apps, including system components, will appear when they are detected on the device.
