Support URI schemes like ms-avd:connect across all platforms in Windows App
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/uri-scheme We would like to request the implementation of support for URI schemes, such as ms-avd:connect, in the latest Windows App. Currently, this feature is available only in MSRDC. We are developing a web app portal running in the browser that allows users to connect to their Azure Virtual Desktop instances. Having this feature in the Windows App across all platforms (including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS) would significantly benefit our development and provide a seamless experience for our users.
Host Pools session hosts list
Large number of session hosts (1700+) is difficult to handle. Following suggestions would help: Allow to customize the the filters on the different columns Filter on Power State Filter on Health State Filter on user (with wild cards) Allow to export in CSV with filters applied Today, the CSV export exports all the VMs whatever the filter It is a workaround of the lack of filters on different fields Thanks for readingFrequent AVD Deployment Failures
Since June 2024, we have experienced occasional failures in AVD deployments. While most deployments succeed through adding session hosts to the host pool, there are instances where the deployment fails. Given this situation, we would like to request a change in behavior to reduce the burden of recreating AVDs when deployment fails.
Integrate AVD Session Launch at the Windows Login Screen (Similar to Windows 365 Boot)
I propose that Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) be integrated directly into the Windows login process, similar to how Windows 365 Boot operates. Currently, users must first log in locally and then manually start the AVD client. By enabling AVD to launch as part of the initial login (with Single Sign-On support), the transition from the local environment to the cloud-hosted desktop would become seamless, mirroring the convenience provided by Windows 365 Boot. (What is Windows 365 Boot? | Microsoft Learn) Benefits: Enhanced User Experience: Users would access their AVD session immediately after logging in, streamlining their workflow. Simplified Process: Eliminates the need for additional login steps or manual client launches, reducing complexity and potential errors. Efficiency Gains: Particularly beneficial for thin clients and shared environments, this integration would lead to a more efficient deployment and use of resources.Remote Desktop image quality worsens
After updating the AVD Remote Desktop client for Windows to version 1.2.5807, the image quality of the remote desktop has worsened and text has become blurred. This is most noticeable when the text is red on a dark background, e.g. error messages in the terminal. Any solutions? Thanks.Multiple monitor issue after upgrade to 1.2.5105.0
I'm using Azure Virtual Desktop on my Windows 11 laptop with 2 additional monitors attached. I've configured my AVD connection to use the 2 additional monitors (2 and 3), so I could use my laptop screen for local actions. This works fine, until I upgraded to release 1.2.5105.0, because then, despite the configuration of using monitor 2 and 3, the laptop screen (1) and monitor 2 were used. The problem disappeared after a downgrade to a previous version
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) drag and drop files
In some situations, it is handy to drag and drop files from a local endpoint to for example AVD remote app. For example when using Outlook on the local endpoint and wanting to archive attachments in the ERP application (legacy app) hosted in a remote app. Copy and paste works but is not user-friendly in this situation.
Windows 11 MultiSession 23h2 User Photo Bug
If a user changes their icon in the start menu, the profile picture is changed to the same for all users who are logged in to the same Windows 11 multi session + FSLogix session host. Fortunately, this doesn't happen in Teams / Outlook! This is a bug with MultiSession + Fslogix. Does anyone have any news on whether MS will fix the bug? Other guys have the same issue https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/idea/azurevirtualdesktop/bug-with-profile-picture-on-avd--windows-11-multi-user/4180592Something is preventing you from using Windows App right now.
After being auto-updated from Windows App version 2.0.327.0 to version 2.0.328.0, some of our users can't launch their Windows App anymore and get an error message says: "Something is preventing you from using Windows App right now." Since there is no way to control the update process, we could only let our desk users use MSRDC instead, as a temporary solution. For the frontline users, I could only pray that this problem will not take place until weekend. If any Microsoft person sees this post, please let the Windows App team know about this and fix this problem ASAP.About the Host Pool Session List
In the host pool, when the list of session hosts is displayed, the number of hosts above a certain number is not displayed until “Load more” is pressed. I would like this to be stopped. It is very inconvenient because I have to press “Load more” again and sometimes I cannot work due to the token packet limitation. In addition to the above situation, it is also inconvenient to have to check the host every time to check the last heartbeat time, so I would like it to be possible to display it in the session list list (other lists). (Similarly, we would like users to be able to arbitrarily select which items to display in the list.)
