Windows Hello for Business - W365 Cloud PC
Hello All, We are currently attempting to use Yubikey USB-A and C devices for authentication. For Laptop authentication it works, but we are trying to implement this on a Windows 365 Cloud PC while signing into Windows App. Has anyone tried this method? This is the device we are trying to use: https://www.yubico.com/product/yubikey-5-series/yubikey-5c-nfc/ This is what i seen when i did my research: High‑level architecture (important context) On Windows 365 Cloud PCs: ✅ WHfB is PIN‑based (this is the supported model) ⚠️ Biometrics (face/fingerprint) are usually not available ✅ WHfB is user‑scoped, not just device‑scoped ✅ WHfB requires a healthy PRT first ❌ WHfB cannot provision if AzureAdPrt = NO If PRT/WAM aren’t healthy, WHfB setup will never appear, even if policy is correct. Any input, insight, or feedback is grreatly appreciated!!
Map only local drives and default printer from clients computer when logging into 365 Desktop?
Hello, I have gone into Intune and created a new config profile and have set Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection \ Device and resource redirection to let the users map drives and printers that are on their laptop into Windows 365 Desktop. However, how can we set it so that: 1. The only printers that are mapped to the 365 desktops from the client's device is the clients default printer and not any network printers that are installed on the laptop. 2. The only drives it maps into 365Desktop are the clients local drives like their SSD drive, and usb drives pluged in and not any network drives that are on the laptop.Save the date: Windows 365 AMA - What’s new from Microsoft Ignite

Microsoft Word - recover a document
Hi Is this OK to post here re Microsoft Word? (I couldn't find a section for Word specifically). I want to try and recover a situation with a Word doc... I think it is probably unrecoverable... but here goes. Somehow... and i was typing fast and the screen froze so i cant be sure what happened...i deleted the contents of a word document and then save it.... so it is now blank... i do not have a backup of it... Is there any way to roll it back or recover a cached version? This happened an hour ago. Many thanks!Microphone & camera passthrough to Cloud PC from MacBook
I have a M1 MacBook Pro that I use to connect to my Cloud PC for work via the Microsoft App. I try to use the Teams app installed locally on the Cloud PC for making and accepting calls but I am having a lot of audio issues. First of all, the person I am calling sounds very tinny (kinda like a chipmunk!) and they cannot hear me. Video doesn't seem to work properly either. I have had very little luck with my external webcam (some Logitech one, don't actually know the model but I don't think it makes a difference? but it has a microphone). There has the very odd few times that a call is working fine but then after a few seconds or so, or when I start sharing my screen on the Cloud PC after a minute of the call starting, I start to experience the same issues with audio as explained above. I am running Sequoia 15.6, the Mac Windows App is version 11.1.5 (2585). Admittedly I've mostly tried in clamshell mode and connected to external earphones (AirPods Pro). I used to use my earphones via the Citrix app on VDI with no issues previously. Any solutions would be gratefully received. Thank you365 stuck at "Setting Up" after license reassignment, is there a way to force reprovisioning?
I am fairly new to managing Windows 365, and I've run into an issue that seems like it should have a simple fix, but hasn't been so straightforward in practice. I have a 365 Business cloud PC under one user (admin). After testing a few things, I removed the license from that user and reassigned it to a new employee. The portal now shows " Setting up Cloud Pc" for that user, and it's been stuck there for several hours with no sign of progress. I have tried : Unassigned and reassigned the license again. Restarted the cloud PC from the portal ( though it's not active). is there a way to manually trigger or force reprovisioning of the Cloud PC after a license reassignment ?
Unable to assign license to employee
Hi, I'm new to Windows 365 and just bought it today. Login by main account and installed a couple of software in the Cloud PC without any issues. However, when I go to admin and reassign the license to employee's account. It's been stuck at setting up for hours. Any way to fix this issue? I tried to log back in with admin's account, restart, reset. Yet, unable to get pass the setting up screen when re-assign it to employee's account. Thanks
Cannot run programs or installers "as administrator" on Windows 365 Business
Summary: Cannot run any program as administrator. Getting error "The requested operation requires elevation." in the UAC dialog. Hello, I am new to Windows 365. In November 2021 we tried Windows 365 Business and had no problems installing any program. After this trial we suggested one of our customers to use Windows 365 to run our program (we are an ISV). Now (in January 2022) the customer has a Windows 365 Business Cloud PC. But we cannot install any program or even run anything "as administrator". Notable difference between November and January is that in November we had a cloud pc with Windows 10. Our customer started in January has Windows 11 on the cloud pc. According to the documentation ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/business/get-started-windows-365-business?view=o365-worldwide#installing-apps ) the user should have Local Administration rights. But when I start for example the Command Prompt with Run as administrator. I get the UAC (User Account Control) asking me permission. Entering the credentials, same as the one I used to log in to the cloud pc, I get the following error message: "The requested operation requires elevation." What we have tried so far to solve this problem ourselves: restarted the cloud pc reinstalled the cloud pc double checked it is Business not Enterprise by checking that I could not use endpoint manager. searched the internet and this forum for this same issue, could not find any I have run out ideas. Any one any idea how to solve this? Or how/where to turn on the local administration permission? Thanks
