Sending notifications with Azure Virtual Desktop Auto-Shutdown
We have several Virtual Desktops that are used during business hours. I know I can use the auto-shutdown feature to shut the VM down at a scheduled time at night to save costs. What I would like to do is notify the logged-on users (we use personal and pooled host pools) that their VM will be shut down in fifteen or thirty minutes and give them the chance to extend by an hour in case they are working late. I saw a webhook by fortytwoservices called avd-shutdown on github that may do what I want, but the documentation on implementing it is a bit unclear to me. Is there a solution, native or add on that would send notifications like this for me? Thanks, Eric.,
Entra ID credentials in Azure Virtual Desktop
Hello, When Entra ID users want to access their passwords in Chrome/Edge they get a Windows security prompt asking for their credentials. When they enter their Entra ID username and password, they get the notification that these are wrong. To test i tried to run a program as a specific Entra ID user and I get the same issue. What do Entra ID users enter for those login prompts?MSIX Apps Not Showing the Windows 11 Start Menu
We are seeing a strange issue in our AVD Dev build. We followed all guidelines on packaging up MSIX apps and can attach them via the Azure portal, but these apps are not showing in the start menu. And if we switch the user to use published apps, when you click on the icon, it opens file explorer. The permissions on our azure storage account share is correct wo we are stumped. We have a ticket open with MSFT but thought I'd see if anyone has seen/corrected this.Chrome passwords gone after rebooting server
Hello, For one of our clients we set up an Azure AVD server where users log in with their Entra ID. When we reboot the server, the saved logins & passwords are gone from the Chrome password manager. We're using Fxlogix user profiles and I already included the Chrome User Data folder where the passwords are saved. Any idea why this is happening and how we can solve this? Also when users want to see the passwords that are saved in Edge/Chrome they get prompted with a Windows security window that is asking for their credentials. Loging in with their Entra ID user and password doesn't work. The server isn't joined in any active directory, so what credentials do they use in the Windows security pop up? Kind regards
Microsoft 365 Copilot taking up excessive CPU on session hosts
Hi, Recently we have seen that Microsoft 365 Copilot has started to take up a lot of CPU on our session hosts. We have around 15 users on each session host using different applications, including Outlook and Edge which we think is where the Copilot is coming from. Has anyone noticed the same and managed to do anything about it? In attached example it took 42% of the CPU.Azure Virtual Desktop Random Client Disconnects

Audio issues when using New/or Old Teams in Win10/Win11 AVD
Hi - In the past month or so our users have been reporting strange audio issues. Not present for a year or so before. A user can hear music in AVD and local device, then take a teams call ok. Once hung up the next call User cannot hear the caller but caller they can hear the user. In this state music stops working in AVD, and on local device. We have found if the user disconnects AVD local audio starts working again, and once reconnected to AVD audio/calls work again. We get this in AVD - We have two environments Win10/old teams AND Win11/new teams. (All up to date) And it occurs in both. We have been using a variety of BT dongle Jabra headsets (all up to date) and doesn't appear to relate to device type. We are latest Remote Desktop Client version however happened on previous version or two also. Any advise or similar stories will be helpful. We are pulling our hair out when staff complaining and bad look to customers.Bluetooth Drivers on AVD Hostpool
Dear AVD Program team, Does AVD hostpool based on pre-built images support Bluetooth drivers pre-installed and configured? Does AVD hostpool based on custom images allow and support Bluetooth drivers pre-installation? Does local bluetooth resources from AVD Windows client can be redirected via hostpool RDP properties or any other approaches? If above options are not available, is there any roadmap to enable this feature on Bluetooth drivers on AVD hostppol, and by what timelines?
Azure VM windows 10 randomly go black
Today I was experiencing an unexpected issue with our Azure VMs running Windows 10. Earlier today, users across several VMs encountered a sudden problem: their screens went black, and the taskbar icons turned white. When they clicked on the icons, a message indicated that the program had moved. To restore normal functionality, we had to log off and back on for a large number of users. This is the first time we’ve encountered such an issue, and we urgently need assistance in resolving it. Could you please guide us on where to look or provide any troubleshooting steps?
