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.,Eric_LogsdonApr 28, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes2CommentsUpgrade Windows 10 to 11
What is the best approach to upgrade Windows 10 Host Pools to Windows 11 Multisession? Users rely on Teams, Office, OneDrive, Printers, etc. I’ve heard reports that upgrading can cause issues with user profiles and that the recommended approach is to "start from scratch." Does anyone have any reference documentation or experiences they can share?Daniel_GurgelApr 28, 2025Copper Contributor9Views0likes0CommentsAVD with cross-tenant snyc

Hello team, I have this customer who have this AVD deployment in production, they are managing with Nerdio and they recently move their storages to Azure NetApp. Event with this very optimized environment they are facing one specific issue with the OneDrive synced folders. They created this video that explains the issue in details. They also opened a support ticket, but they didn't help with this issue. They are facing that for a while and they are asking for more assistance. If anyone could have any clue would be great!

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?Vincent_BApr 25, 2025Copper Contributor37Views0likes1CommentMSIX 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.stevenzelenkoApr 24, 2025Brass Contributor48Views0likes3CommentsChrome 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 regardsVincent_BApr 24, 2025Copper Contributor289Views0likes2CommentsMicrosoft 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.OeyvindSyversenApr 23, 2025Copper Contributor86Views0likes2CommentsAzure Virtual Desktop Random Client Disconnects
Hi, Is anyone experiencing random client disconnects in Azure Virtual desktop. We have a deployment in UK South where clients frequently randomly disconnect for no apparent reason and we are certain is is not a local internet issue.
