Manage Developer Mode

Overview

Manages the Windows Developer Mode setting on Windows 10/11 devices. The automation can enable, disable, or check the current Developer Mode state.

The desired action is determined in the following priority order:

1. The Action script parameter, if set.
2. The cPVAL Desired Developer Mode custom field, if configured at the Organization, Location, or Device level.
3. Defaults to Check if neither is set.

After each run, the cPVAL Current Developer Mode custom field is updated to reflect the current Developer Mode state on the device.

Notes:

• Supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only.
• Set the cPVAL Desired Developer Mode custom field to None to exclude devices at that scope from scheduled automation runs. The automation can still be run manually on those devices and will default to the Check action.
• Lower-level settings (Device) override higher-level settings (Location, Organization) in the cPVAL Desired Developer Mode custom field.
• The Action parameter always takes priority over the custom field value.
