Support for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Microsoft Intune now supports Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ends in August 2026. Devices already enrolled on Ubuntu 22.04 remain enrolled, but you should notify users to upgrade to a supported Ubuntu version. You can identify devices running Ubuntu 22.04 in the Intune admin center by going to Devices > All devices, filtering by Linux, and adding the OS version column. For more information, see Enroll Linux desktop devices in Microsoft Intune.

New remote actions to suspend and restore Managed Home Screen on Android devices
Intune has two new remote actions that allow admins to temporarily suspend and restore Managed Home Screen (MHS) on Android devices. These actions let users exit MHS and access the device's default launcher for a defined period—without removing policies or requiring a PIN.

When the specified duration expires, or when the restore managed home screen action is triggered, MHS automatically re‑locks the device into the kiosk experience. This helps maintain security while reducing disruption during troubleshooting or short‑term use outside of MHS.

Applies to:

• Android Enterprise corporate-owned Fully Managed (COBO)
• Android Enterprise corporate-owned Dedicated (COSU)

Autopatch update risk visibility report
