SMB over QUIC Roadmap
Hello everyone! I had seen somewhere back in October(?) 2022 that Microsoft plans to implement SMB over QUIC for Azure File Shares (without needing Windows Server 2022 (Azure edition). Is this part of the roadmap?
I've also seen somewhere that there are plans to eventually make SMB over QUIC available for non-Azure editions of Windows Server 2022. Is this true as well? and if so, is there a roadmap to when this will be available in a Windows Server insiders build?
Thank you!
- Hi. SMB over QUIC for Azure Files is still on the roadmap. I don't have an exact timeline to share from the AF team, sorry.
We don't have plans to make SMB over QUIC available outside Azure Edition but stay tuned on this subject.

I’m happy to inform you that Windows Server 2025 is now generally available, and with it, SMB over QUIC can be implemented in your on-premise environment. However, as of now, you cannot configure it through Windows Admin Center (WAC); you must use PowerShell.
You can take a look at the deployment steps:

Is SMB over QUIC supported on Windows 10 and/or MacOS clients? or it is ONLY supported on Windows 11?
