Intune has two new remote actions that allow admins to temporarily suspend and restore Managed Home Screen (MHS) on Android devices. These actions let users exit MHS and access the device's default launcher for a defined period, without removing policies or requiring a PIN.

When the specified duration expires, or when the restore managed home screen action is triggered, MHS automatically re-locks the device into the kiosk experience. This helps maintain security while reducing disruption during troubleshooting or short-term use outside of MHS.
