Microsoft announced yesterday that a new Windows 365 app is now available for public preview on the Microsoft Store. The new app, which was first unveiled in April, allows employees to access their Windows 365 Cloud PCs directly from the Windows 11 taskbar.
“With the Windows 365 app, you can access your Windows 365 Cloud PC from the taskbar or Start menu, enjoying a full Windows 11 experience while moving between your local and cloud PCs. Supported by all Windows 11 devices, the app delivers high-performance, reliable experiences optimized for Microsoft Teams and your other Microsoft 365 apps,” the company explained.
Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a new Windows 365 Government SKU. This plan is designed to meet the needs of Government Community Cloud (GCC) and GCC-High customers, including federal contractors and employees.
There is also a new Citrix HDX Plus add-on for Windows 365 that enables end users to access Windows 365 in their Citrix environments. This release adds support for a wide range of devices and endpoints.
Windows 11 will add support for organizational messages in November
Microsoft noted that the Organizational Messages feature will be available in public preview on Windows 11 PCs in November. This feature will allow IT administrators to send messages to a Windows 11 lock screen, desktop, or taskbar.
According to Microsoft, administrators will be able to configure these messages in Microsoft Endpoint Manager. This feature can be useful for sharing training materials with new employees or for making company-wide announcements.
Finally, Microsoft announced new features for its cloud-based universal printing solution. Delegated administration capabilities allow branch offices to easily set up new printers without requiring help from centralized IT. This feature will be available in preview at the beginning of November. Microsoft is also updating the Print Tasks page to make it easier for administrators to diagnose problems.
