In an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, MSIX app attach delivers apps to session hosts within [MSIX containers](/windows/msix/msix-container). These containers separate user data, the OS, and apps, increasing security and ensuring easier troubleshooting if something goes wrong. App attach removes the need for repackaging apps when delivering applications dynamically, which increases the speed of deployments and reduces the time it takes for users to sign in to their remote sessions. This rapid delivery reduces operational overhead and costs for your organization.
