    Do you have vTPM and secure enabled?

    I've just created an AVD with Windows 11 Enterprise 21H2 but using the trusted launch security type with secure boot and vTPM enabled and it updated to 23H2.

     

    I used the Microsoft windows 11 versions from the Azure market place.


    Source image details
    Source image publisher - microsoftwindowsdesktop
    Source image offer - windows-11
    Source image plan - win11-21h2-ent

     

    I'm wondering if that is what's causing our block... Now I need to see if I can update an existing AVD.


    Edit:

    Updating an existing AVD and enabling vTMP didn't fetch any feature updates.

    However I've since found a manual method of updating which is to mount a Windows 11 23H2 ISO within the AVD and install it. (still unsure if method requires vTPM enabled, need to test)

    I was able to find the latest ISO from the 365 admin portal: https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/subscriptions/vlnew/downloadsandkeys
