There are two features in Azure Virtual Desktop that enable you to dynamically attach applications from an application package to a user session in Azure Virtual Desktop - *MSIX app attach* and *app attach (preview)*. *MSIX app attach* is generally available, but *app attach* is available in preview, which improves the administrative and user experiences. With both *MSIX app attach* and *app attach*, applications aren't installed locally on session hosts or images, making it easier to create custom images for your session hosts, and reducing operational overhead and costs for your organization. Applications run within containers, which separate user data, the operating system, and other applications, increasing security and making them easier to troubleshoot.

MSIX and Appx are Windows application package formats that provide a modern packaging experience to Windows applications. Applications run within containers, which separate user data, the operating system, and other applications, increasing security and making them easier to troubleshoot. MSIX and Appx are similar, where the main difference is that MSIX is a superset of Appx. MSIX supports all the features of Appx, plus other features that make it more suitable for enterprise use.

App attach enables you to dynamically attach applications from an application package to a user session in Azure Virtual Desktop. Applications aren't installed locally on session hosts or images, enabling you to create fewer custom images for your session hosts, and reducing operational overhead and costs for your organization. Delivering applications with app attach also gives you greater control over which applications your users can access in a remote session.
