Windows 365: Week of September 22, 2025

Device provisioning

Windows 365 support for external identities (preview)

You can now provision a Cloud PC for an external identity. There is no change to the administrative flow to provision this Cloud PC, as it follows the same provisioning flows for both Windows 365 Enterprise and Windows 365 Flex Cloud PCs.

For more information, see External identity (preview), along with appropriate Windows 365 licensing guidance.

Global expansion of TURN Relay

Microsoft has expanded the TURN relay infrastructure globally, deploying it across 39 Azure regions with a dedicated IP range of 51.5.0.0/16 for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. This transition from the previously shared 20.202.0.0/16 subnet enhances RDP Shortpath for Public Networks, offering improved performance, reliability, and user experience.
