What’s new in Windows 365
Recover Windows 365 Enterprise Cloud PCs that were Deprovisioned due to License Expiration (preview)
You can now recover Window 365 Enterprise Cloud PCs that were deprovisioned due to license expiration. Once you repurchase the expired licenses and ensure you have followed the prerequisites, you can use the retention snapshot to restore the Cloud PC for your end user. For more information, see Point-in-time restore for Windows 365 Enterprise.
Device Security
Select redirections disabled for newly provisioned and reprovisioned Cloud PCs
Windows 365 is enhancing Cloud PC security by having clipboard, drive, opaque low-level USB, and printer redirections disabled by default for all newly provisioned and reprovisioned Cloud PCs. This change minimizes the risk of data exfiltration and malware injections, which provides a more secure experience and aligns with the Microsoft Secure Future Initiative (SFI) principle to have security protections enabled and enforced by default.
