Required Win32 Application in Microsoft Intune

I setup a Win32 Application in my Intune as Required, then one of my AAD Joined machines got the application installed. Later I explicitly uninstalled it and now Intune's app status displays an error for that application on that device:

The application was not detected after installation completed successfully. Couldn't detect app because it was manually updated after installation or uninstalled by the user.

Doesn't matter what I do now in Intune I cannot get the application installed on that box again, that error is still displayed. Tried to "Sync" from both - the device as well as Intune - nothing helps in terms of that application's status in Intune.

Why the Required application is not automatically installed if a user uninstalled it? I find this contradicting with the definition of Required. How do I get the application installed back via Intune without asking the user to explicitly install it?

What do you have set as Detection rule? make sure that the file or registry intune is using for the detection is indeed not on the system. If you want a "hacky way" you can also do the following:

  1. Duplicate the app in intune
  2. Assign the app to a test group
  3. Create a false Detection rule. Because this is fast it will then reinstall the app

once all that is done cleanup the environment

Users should not be able to uninstall this required app through company portal. If that was done through control panel please check your detection methods and share.
