Windows 365 GPU
Windows 365 be used for animation or rendering work? what are the GPU specs
Any update on this. We are using Windows 365 Enterprise and would like to expand to our autocad clients.

MicrosoftTechnophobia SThomas40 Frank1790 - Thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, we're still working on this and don't have a commitment on when we may introduce this into the service.
In the meantime, I'd suggest piloting the workload on Azure Virtual Desktop to see if that meets your needs, as Windows 365 leverages the same connectivity platform and would provide a similar experience at the point in time that GPU is offered in Windows 365.
Thanks for your patience here folks, I recognize that this is a huge use case.

Wow. I came here to hope to read that it's here. This thread started at the end of 2021. And now you are saying don't have a commitment? Why? What has gotten in the way? What changed? You don't need to get into super technical details, but customers would like to know where this is going. So we don't expect things will be resolved between a week and 2027.
Christian_Montoya just want to weigh in on the question of a GPU for windows 365. I was looking at this service to run virtual workstations for planning dental implant surgery. However the planning application requires OpenGL 3.2 and it fails to load on windows 365 with the error message citing the lack of OpenGL 3.2 support.
This is disappointing as in many ways the windows 365 service would cut the complexity of having to handle sensitive patient healthcare information (HiPPA) data and would have allowed me to simply provision multiple powerful workstations as and when the demand requires while allowing my (remote) surgical planners to bring their own device / use a "thin client".
Any indication as to timescales would be appreciated.
