Change thumnails/AVD picture in Windows App

 

How do you change the picture in Windows App for a specific AVD desktop. We have multiple and would like to keep them apart. 

Anyone knows?

  • This does not support custom thumbnail images or icons but something you can do instead:

     

    1. Use Custom Display Names
    You can set a friendly name for each AVD desktop pool or host pool:
    •    Go to Azure Portal → AVD → Host Pools
    •    Edit the Display Name under Properties
    •    This name appears in the Windows App and can help distinguish desktops
    2. Organize by Workspace
    If you manage multiple environments, consider:
    •    Creating separate Workspaces for each group
    •    Assigning users to specific Workspaces based on role or region
