How to enable App Autostart in Device Provisioning

This article explains how to enable and set up Apps for App Autostart through Device Provisioning in your Device Hub.

Note: Enabling App Autostart and setting apps for Autostart through Device Provisioning is done as part of the pre-configuration process of your devices. Changing provisioning options does not affect the configuration on already installed devices. Of course, enabling and disabling App Autostart can also be done through Commands or directly on your device.

  2. Navigate to Provisioning.
