The Windows App lets users quickly navigate to and access their resources in the JumpCloud User Portal from the system tray app, so that they don&#8217;t have to bookmark or remember the User Portal URL. The user\u2019s JumpCloud password also provides access to the device, software, WiFi, and everything else an IT infrastructure has to offer. The user can also change the JumpCloud password without admin intervention using the Windows App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JumpCloud agent silently installs the Windows App automatically. You don&#8217;t have to remember to manually install the Windows App on a user\u2019s device. If you don&#8217;t want to provide the user with access to the Windows App, you must manually hide it. Although you can hide the Windows App on a user\u2019s device, we recommend that you leave it enabled. You can read about the reasons in <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/support\/get-started-the-jumpcloud-windows-app\">Get Started: The JumpCloud Windows App<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the Windows App can\u2019t be used on a device and should be hidden. One of these cases is when user accounts are managed by Active Directory through AD Integration. These user accounts can\u2019t use the Windows App to reset passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Considerations<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>To apply a policy&nbsp;to a device, it must be running on a supported OS.
