Windows 365 now supported in Japan West

Today I am pleased to announce that we have enabled a second region in Japan to deploy Windows 365 Cloud PC’s.

You can now deploy your Cloud PCs into the Japan West Azure region in addition to the existing Japan East region. Within a provisioning policy if you select the Japan geography, you can then select Japan West. This increases the number of regions available to the Windows 365 service when you select the “Automatic” region option of Japan. We always recommend using the Automatic region option when using the Microsoft Hosted Network network type.

In the future we will be making some exciting improvements to the provisioning of Cloud PCs by simplifying the region and network selection within your provisioning policies.

This expansion increases the number of Azure geographies that Windows 365 supports, giving you more choices for locating your Cloud PCs. This means you can place them closer to your user estate, reducing latency for users in these locations.

We are committed to providing more choice and flexibility for your Cloud PCs by enabling new Azure regions over the coming years. This ongoing expansion demonstrates our dedication to evolving the service into a truly global service by growing into existing and new Azure geographies, ensuring you can provide the best service to your organization.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance Windows 365 and bring it to more locations worldwide.
