+## May 2024 
+
+Here's what changed in May 2024: 
+
+### Configuring client device redirection for Windows App and the Remote Desktop app using Microsoft Intune is now in preview
+
+You can now use Microsoft Intune to configure client device redirection settings for Windows App and the Remote Desktop app in preview. IT admins can configure different redirection scenarios based on group membership and whether the device is managed by Intune or unmanaged. Additional capabilities include the ability to check and restrict access to Azure Virtual Desktop based on criteria such as OS version, allowed app (Windows App or the Remote Desktop app), allowed app version number, whether a threat is detected by Mobile Threat Defense (MTD), the device is jailbroken/rooted, and more.
+
+For more information, see [Configure client device redirection settings for Windows App and the Remote Desktop app using Microsoft Intune](client-device-redirection-intune.md).
+
+### Getting started feature for Azure Virtual Desktop renamed Quickstart
+
+Quickstart offers a streamlined onboarding experience in the Azure portal to set up your Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Create deployments with Microsoft Entra Domain Services or use with an existing Active Directory Domain Services domain the simple and easy way. 
+
+For more information, along with instructions, see [Use quickstart to create a sample infrastructure](quickstart.md).
+
+### Hibernate support for session hosts in a personal host pool is generally available
+
+Deploying session hosts in a personal host pool with hibernate support is now generally available. With hibernate support, you can pause session hosts you aren't using. For more information, see [Hibernating Windows virtual machines](../virtual-machines/windows/hibernate-resume-windows.md).
+
+### Hibernate support for autoscale is generally available
+
+Autoscale support for virtual machines that use hibernate is generally available, enabling session hosts to be scaled automatically while preserving their state. For more information, see [Autoscale scaling plans and example scenarios in Azure Virtual Desktop](autoscale-scenarios.md) and [Hibernating virtual machines](../virtual-machines/hibernate-resume.md).
+
+### Support for Trusted Launch virtual machines support in Azure Government and Azure operated by 21Vianet 
+
+Trusted Launch virtual machines are now available in Azure Government and Azure operated by 21Vianet. Deploying Trusted Launch virtual machines in your Azure Virtual Desktop environment improves the security posture of your session hosts by helping protect against advanced and persistent attack techniques. You can select Trusted Launch when you create a new host pool with machines or add a new virtual machine to an existing host pool.
+
+For more information about the benefits of Trusted Launch, see our [Trusted Launch documentation](../virtual-machines/trusted-launch.md).

+Confidential virtual machines and Trusted Launch virtual machines for Azure Virtual Desktop are now generally available. You can select these options when you create a new host pool with machines or add a new virtual machine to an existing host pool.
 
 Azure confidential virtual machines (VMs) offer VM memory encryption with integrity protection, which strengthens guest protections to deny the hypervisor and other host management components code access to the VM memory and state. For more information about the security benefits of confidential VMs, see our [confidential computing documentation](../confidential-computing/confidential-vm-overview.md).
