Remote connection experience for Windows 365 (Public Preview)

Windows 365 introduces the Remote connection experience in preview, enabling IT administrators to configure connection‑level settings that apply just‑in‑time when users connect to targeted Cloud PCs. These settings can be assigned to specific device groups through Microsoft Intune to help tailor and manage how users interact with their Cloud PC during remote sessions. For more information, see Remote connection experience.

New Azure region support for Windows 365 Government

Windows 365 Government now supports Cloud PC provisioning in the US Government – Texas region.

Cloud Apps support for APPX and MSIX applications

Cloud Apps now support APPX and MSIX applications in addition to traditional Win32 apps. Admins can discover and publish a broader set of applications including Microsoft Teams and new Outlook when configuring Cloud Apps for Windows 365. Cloud Apps support for APPX and MSIX applications in existing Cloud Apps provisioning policies requires reprovisioning. This will enable the discovery of APPX and MSIX applications. The management experience and publishing workflow remain the same, while expanding the types of applications that can be made available to users.

Enhanced resiliency and expanded regional availability for Windows 365 Government

Windows 365 Government now supports Microsoft Hosted Network (MHN) with Multi‑Region Selection for Government Community Cloud (GCC and GCC High). This enhanced deployment experience distributes Cloud PCs across multiple regions using a three‑tier region selection model, helping improve resiliency while giving admins greater flexibility and control over where Cloud PCs are provisioned.

In addition, the US Gov Texas region is now available for Windows 365 Government customers in GCC and GCC High, enabling Cloud PCs to be provisioned in an additional U.S. government region. For more information, see Microsoft Hosted Network with Multi-Region Selection and Supported U.S. Government regions for Windows 365.
