Improved licensing assignment logic for Cloud PC resize operations is now available

Windows 365 now features enhanced licensing assignment logic for group-based license (GBL) resize operations. The system validates both source license removal and target license assignment—regardless of order—before triggering a resize. This update prevents accidental Cloud PC provisioning, reduces policy-related reprovisioning errors, and ensures resizes occur predictably without creating duplicate Cloud PCs. If a user’s policy changes during a license transition, the resize fails gracefully with a clear error, allowing admins to correct the configuration before retrying. No new admin actions are required; existing workflows remain unchanged. Learn more about resizing Cloud PCs.

Autopilot device preparation for Cloud PC provisioning is now available
Windows 365 now supports Autopilot device preparation with Cloud PC provisioning, enabling admins to define readiness criteria and ensure apps and scripts are installed before a Cloud PC is marked as provisioned. For more information, see Use Autopilot device preparation with Cloud PCs.

Windows Autopilot support for Windows 365 Reserve (Public Preview)
Autopilot Device Preparation is now available in Public Preview for Windows 365 Reserve. With DPP enabled, provisioning completes only after required applications and configurations are installed and validated - improving reliability and security while reducing the need for custom images.

Admins can optionally link Autopilot Device Preparation with Reserve provisioning policies in Microsoft Intune. Cloud PCs provisioned with DPP show a Preparing status while device setup is in progress. There are no changes to Reserve licensing, usage limits, or the end-user experience.

RDP Multipath with redundant TCP transport paths begins GA rollout
Windows 365 has started the general availability (GA) rollout of RDP Multipath with redundant TCP transport paths. This enhancement improves connection resiliency to Windows 365 Cloud PCs by enabling multiple TCP transport paths and automatically switching between them when network degradation is detected.

Redundant TCP transport paths complement existing UDP‑based RDP Multipath and help maintain reliable connectivity in environments where UDP connectivity is unreliable or unavailable. The feature is being enabled through a phased, quality‑driven rollout. Until rollout is complete, redundant TCP may not be consistently enabled across all Cloud PCs.
