Fix Intune Error 0x87D1041C: Intune did not find the app after install: the detection rule no longer matches, usually because the app was uninstalled or updated itself.

Root causes

• The app deployed successfully and was then uninstalled by the user or another tool. A required app is reinstalled at the next check-in.
• A self-updating app changed its version, so a rule pinned to the old version or MSI product code no longer matches.
• The detection rule was wrong from the start: the wrong path, registry view or product code.
• The identity in the package does not match what the device reports for the installed app.

Step-by-step remediation

1. 1Open AppWorkload.log on the device and search for the app ID. Note whether detection ran after a successful install or after a later evaluation.
2. 2Check whether the app is actually installed. If it is gone, find out what removed it before changing the deployment.
3. 3If it is installed, compare the detection rule with the installed version, path and registry values, and correct the rule.
4. 4For self-updating apps use a "greater than or equal" version rule or a file-exists rule, not an exact product code.
5. 5Sync the device from Company Portal or Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > Info > Sync, then confirm the status clears in the Intune admin center.
