    @Eva Seydl  Any way to limit certain users? Only want one WVD user to be able to start VM on connect. I know this sounds odd but that user has program that needs to be started before any other WVD users can log in.

      This is not supported today. You can accommodate this by separating users by host pools where you have the feature either on or off.

      Fellow sysadmin, you could force an auto login on the console side of the machine by using a passwordless autologin on boot. You could also set up a scheduled task to run as the user you need logging in first and schedule the task on machine boot.
