Microsoft has unveiled important updates to Windows 365 Boot that will allow users to boot directly into their Windows 365 Cloud PC instead of their physical device.
This new dedicated mode is set to bring a number of benefits, including enhanced security features and administrator control as well as an easier process for workers.
The update comes as part of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23601 in the Dev Channel, with general availability so far unconfirmed.
Windows 11 gets better Cloud PC integration
A Windows blog post announcing the update reads: “You can now boot to your Windows 365 Cloud PC from your designated company-owned device. You will be able to seamlessly login to your Windows 365 Cloud PC from Windows 11 login screen using password-less authentication methods like Windows Hello for Business.”
Microsoft says that the update brings with it a better experience for switching accounts and some further personalization, including display pictures and username remembering.
The company also added new admin controls for the Windows 365 Boot shared mode, which will allow companies to display their branding from Intune.
For the end user, enhancements have also been made to the way local device settings can be managed when in Windows 365 boot, for adjusting things like sound and display.
Just a quick look at this.
