29+
The ability to enable an Azure Active Directory (AD)-based single sign-on experience and support for passwordless authentication, using Windows Hello and security devices (like FIDO2 keys) is now in public preview. This feature is available for Windows 10, Windows, 11 and Windows Server 2022 session hosts with the September Cumulative Update Preview installed. The single sign-on experience is currently compatible with the Windows Desktop and web clients.

For more information, see [our blog post](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop/collect-and-query-graphics-data-for-azure-virtual-desktop/m-p/3638565).
