### Control Windows App in a web browser using Microsoft Edge on personal Windows devices
30+
31+
Use Microsoft Intune mobile application management (MAM) to enable protected access an Azure Virtual Desktop session when using Windows App in a web browser using Microsoft Edge on personal Windows devices. You can check the security posture of a local device before granting access, and secure organization data by disabling drive, clipboard, and printer redirection.
32+
33+
For more information, see [Require local client device security compliance with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra Conditional Access](/windows-app/require-device-security-compliance-intune?tabs=web).
34+
35+
### Windows App on Android is now generally available
36+
37+
Windows App on Android is now generally available, with an enhanced user experience, increased reliability, and features such as Microsoft Intune mobile application management and Passkey authentication. Windows App replaces the Remote Desktop client on Android. Installations of the Remote Desktop client on Android change to Windows App next time the app is updated.
38+

For more information, see [Windows App](https://aka.ms/WindowsApp).
40+
41+
### Every time sign-in frequency Conditional Access option is now generally available
42+
43+
Using Microsoft Entra sign-in frequency with Azure Virtual Desktop prompts users to reauthenticate when launching a new connection after a period of time, and is now generally available You can now require reauthentication after a shorter period of time.

51+
### Quickstart for Azure Virtual Desktop is now generally available
52+
53+
Quickstart enables you to easily evaluate a Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session remotely and become familiar with the service before deploying it in production.
54+
55+
When you use QuickStart, it deploys a sample Azure Virtual Desktop environment consisting of minimal resources and configuration. A user then signs into Windows App and connects to a full virtual desktop session. Deployment takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
56+
57+
For more information, see [Quickstart: deploy a sample Azure Virtual Desktop environment](quickstart.md).
58+
59+
### Improved drive redirection performance
60+
61+
When a user opens or lists the contents of a redirected drive, the remote session enumerates files and folders of the current directory. If you have a large number of files and folders on the redirected drives, the enumeration process can take a long time and impact the performance of the remote session. For session hosts running Windows 11 24H2, we improved the performance of enumerating files and folders on redirected drives is greatly improved. To get the improved performance, you need to configure your session hosts.
62+
63+
For more information, see [Improve performance of enumerating files and folders on redirected drives](redirection-configure-drives-storage.md?pivots=azure-virtual-desktop).
64+
65+
### Assign multiple personal desktops to a single user (preview)
66+
67+
Multiple personal desktop assignment allows you to assign more than one personal desktop to a single user in a single host pool. Multiple desktops are useful for users juggling diverse business roles, such as backend and frontend development or transitioning between testing and production environments.
68+
69+
For more information, see [Assign multiple personal desktops to a single user](configure-host-pool-personal-desktop-assignment-type.md#assign-multiple-personal-desktops-to-a-single-user-preview).

### Added Asia-Pacific as a data location
