<string id="AppxDeployment">App Package Deployment</string>
<string id="AppxDeploymentAllowAllTrustedApps">Allow all trusted apps to install</string>
<string id="AppxDeploymentAllowAllTrustedAppsExplanation">This policy setting allows you to manage the installation of trusted line-of-business (LOB) or developer-signed Windows Store apps.
If you enable this policy setting, you can install any LOB or developer-signed Windows Store app (which must be signed with a certificate chain that can be successfully validated by the local computer).
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, you cannot install LOB or developer-signed Windows Store apps.</string>
<string id="AllowAutomaticAppArchiving">Archive infrequently used apps</string>
<string id="AllowAutomaticAppArchivingExplanation">This policy setting controls whether the system can archive infrequently used apps.
If you enable this policy setting, then the system will periodically check for and archive infrequently used apps.
If you disable this policy setting, then the system will not archive any apps.
If you do not configure this policy setting (default), then the system will follow default behavior, which is to periodically check for and archive infrequently used apps, and the user will be able to configure this setting themselves.</string>
<string id="AllowDeploymentInSpecialProfiles">Allow deployment operations in special profiles</string>
<string id="AllowDeploymentInSpecialProfilesExplanation">This policy setting allows you to manage the deployment of Windows Store apps when the user is signed in using a special profile. Special profiles are the following user profiles, where changes are discarded after the user signs off:
Roaming user profiles to which the "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" Group Policy setting applies
Mandatory user profiles and super-mandatory profiles, which are created by an administrator
Temporary user profiles, which are created when an error prevents the correct profile from loading
User profiles for the Guest account and members of the Guests group
If you enable this policy setting, Group Policy allows deployment operations (adding, registering, staging, updating, or removing an app package) of Windows Store apps when using a special profile.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Group Policy blocks deployment operations of Windows Store apps when using a special profile.</string>
<string id="AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense">Allows development of Windows Store apps and installing them from an integrated development environment (IDE)</string>
<string id="AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicenseExplanation">
Allows or denies development of Microsoft Store applications and installing them directly from an IDE.
If you enable this setting and enable the "Allow all trusted apps to install" Group Policy, you can develop Microsoft Store apps and install them directly from an IDE.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, you cannot develop Microsoft Store apps or install them directly from an IDE.
</string>
<string id="DisableDeploymentToNonSystemVolumes">Disable installing Windows apps on non-system volumes</string>
<string id="DisableDeploymentToNonSystemVolumesExplanation">
This policy setting allows you to manage installing Windows apps on additional volumes such as secondary partitions, USB drives, or SD cards.
If you enable this setting, you can't move or install Windows apps on volumes that are not the system volume.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, you can move or install Windows apps on other volumes.
</string>
<string id="RestrictAppDataToSystemVolume">Prevent users' app data from being stored on non-system volumes</string>
<string id="RestrictAppDataToSystemVolumeExplanation">
Prevent users' app data from moving to another location when an app is moved or installed on another location.
If you enable this setting, all users' app data will stay on the system volume, regardless of where the app is installed.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, then when an app is moved to a different volume, the users' app data will also move to this volume.
</string>
<string id="AllowSharedLocalAppData">Allow a Windows app to share application data between users</string>
<string id="AllowSharedLocalAppDataExplanation">Manages a Windows app's ability to share data between users who have installed the app.
If you enable this policy, a Windows app can share app data with other instances of that app. Data is shared through the SharedLocal folder. This folder is available through the Windows.Storage API.
If you disable this policy, a Windows app can't share app data with other instances of that app. If this policy was previously enabled, any previously shared app data will remain in the SharedLocal folder.
</string>
<string id="BlockNonAdminUserInstall">Prevent non-admin users from installing packaged Windows apps</string>
<string id="BlockNonAdminUserInstallExplanation">Manages non-Administrator users' ability to install Windows app packages.
If you enable this policy, non-Administrators will be unable to initiate installation of Windows app packages. Administrators who wish to install an app will need to do so from an Administrator context (for example, an Administrator PowerShell window). All users will still be able to install Windows app packages via the Microsoft Store, if permitted by other policies.
If you disable or do not configure this policy, all users will be able to initiate installation of Windows app packages.

<string id="DisableMeteredNetworkBackgroundAutoUpdates">Not allow sideloaded apps to auto-update in the background on a metered network</string>
