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
