Can Microsoft PLEASE update the Intune settings catalog with AI policies without having to create CSP's in the sometimes very long delay between new features and native policy settings. For example, CoPilot in Outlook. There's no setting to configure it, but there is a manual CSP. Thank you

Thanks for joining us today at Tech Community Live! We'll leave this page open for your questions through Friday and continue to check back to provide answers.

I LOVE the new search.

We also have issues with SSO/Hello/Cloud Kerberos Trust, and its hard to troubleshoot. Maybe if CoPilot could help diagnose such issues, that would be great!

How will antimalware solutions take benefit of the NPU and AI models?

Is there any news on the international rollout of the CP+PC capabilities? Specifically the EU region.

What would be your suggestion for the most efficient way to prevent anything from preventing an automated logon, such as an update screen, announcement screen, asking for MS Account logon, etc.; pretty much anything that requires a user interaction. No matter how many things I disable or suppress in Regedit or GPO it seems there is some new interrupting screen appearing I need to account for. 

Are you guys aware of Issues to authenticate to 3rd party apps when using Windows Hello? The issue is going away once you sign in to windows using regular password. Is there any AI coming to authentication in windows?
