It allows businesses to stream Windows 10 or Windows 11 Cloud PCs to end-users under Windows 365 Business or Windows 365 Enterprise subscriptions.
Users will be able to quickly switch between their own desktop and the Cloud PC using the Windows Task Switcher once the cloud-based service gets upgraded with a new feature dubbed Windows 365 Switch.
Microsoft is also adding a native Windows 365 app to allow users to open their Cloud PC from the Start menu or the Task Bar.
"When connectivity is restored, the Cloud PC will automatically resync with the Windows 365 service without data loss so the user experience and workflow are persistent," McKelvey added.
Microsoft is also planning to upgrade Windows 365 with a 'Boot to Cloud PC' option that, when enabled, will allow devices to boot directly into their own personal and customized Cloud PC instance, rather than the operating systems installed on the device.
"With Windows 365 Boot, I'll be able to log directly into my Cloud PC at startup and designate it as my primary Windows experience on the device," said McKelvey.
