Quick Answer
The correct answer is Device Restart Behavior and the assignment setting to allow restart after installation. These two controls work together to manage how a Win32 app handles system reboots in Microsoft Intune: Device Restart Behavior lets you suppress or block the restart entirely during the app deployment, while the assignment-level toggle gives you per-group control over whether a restart is permitted after installation completes. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of the distinction between global app behavior and assignment-specific policies, and a common trap is confusing these with platform-specific restart settings for Android, macOS, or iOS. To remember, think of Device Restart Behavior as the master switch for the app’s reboot logic, and the assignment setting as a per-group override—both must be considered to minimize user disruption. A useful memory tip is “master and assignment,” where the master controls the behavior and the assignment decides if it actually runs.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage applications. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices. You are deploying a Win32 app that requires a reboot to complete installation. You want to control the reboot behavior to minimize user disruption. Which TWO settings can you configure in the Intune Win32 app properties to manage reboot? (Choose two.)
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.
Allow restart after installation (in assignment)
This can be set to Yes or No in the assignment settings.
Device restart behavior
Controls restart behavior like No specific action, Suppress restarts, etc.
Restart deadline
Why wrong: Used for iOS app deployment, not Win32.
Restart grace period
Why wrong: This is for Android enterprise devices, not Win32.
Restart notification text
Why wrong: This is for macOS app deployment.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Allow restart after installation (in assignment)
Options B and D are correct. Device restart behavior controls if restarts are suppressed or blocked. The 'Allow restart after installation' option in the app assignment can also be set. Option A is for Android. Option C is for macOS. Option E is for iOS.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.

Same concept, more angles
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. You need to deploy a line-of-business (LOB) app that requires a reboot after installation. Which deployment configuration should you use to ensure the app installs and the device reboots outside of business hours?
mediumWhy B: Option B is correct because the 'Available' assignment with 'Deadline' and 'Grace period' allows users to install the app during non-business hours and provides a grace period before forced reboot. Option A is wrong because 'Required' assignment with 'Immediate' reboot would force reboot immediately. Option C is wrong because 'Uninstall' assignment removes the app. Option D is wrong because 'Available' without deadline does not enforce reboot timing.
