Typically, you can tell an unenlightened app because: - Windows Desktop shows it as always running in enterprise mode. - Windows **Save As** experiences only allow you to save your files as enterprise. - **WIP-work only apps** are unenlightened line-of-business apps that have been tested and deemed safe for use in an enterprise with WIP and Mobile App Management (MAM) solutions without device enrollment. Unenlightened apps that are targeted by WIP without enrollment run under personal mode. ## List of enlightened Microsoft apps Microsoft has made a concerted effort to enlighten several of our more popular apps, including the following: - Microsoft 3D Viewer - Microsoft Edge - Internet Explorer 11 - Microsoft People - Mobile Office apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook Mail and Calendar - Office 365 ProPlus apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook - OneDrive app - OneDrive sync client (OneDrive.exe, the next generation sync client) - Microsoft Photos - Groove Music - Notepad - Microsoft Paint - Microsoft Movies & TV - Microsoft Messaging - Microsoft Remote Desktop >[!NOTE] >Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project are not enlightended apps and need to be exempted from WIP policy. If they are allowed, there is a risk of data loss. For example, if a device is workplace-joined and managed and the user leaves the company, metadata files that the apps rely on remain encrypted and the apps stop functioining. ## List of WIP-work only apps from Microsoft Microsoft still has apps that are unenlightened, but which have been tested and deemed safe for use in an enterprise with WIP and MAM solutions. - Skype for Business ## Adding enlightened Microsoft apps to the allowed apps list > [!NOTE] > As of January 2019 it is no longer necessary to add Intune Company Portal as an exempt app since it is now included in the default list of protected apps. You can add any or all of the enlightened Microsoft apps to your allowed apps list.
