What’s new in Windows 365: September 2026 recap

What changed

Microsoft's September Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop recap covers TWAIN scanner redirection and display protection in preview, user-initiated Windows 365 Reserve provisioning, Customer Key support for Reserve, Device Preparation policies, and RDP Multipath improvements.

Why it matters

The changes span peripheral access, screen-capture protection, Cloud PC recovery, encryption-key ownership and transport resilience, so their preview or general-availability status and platform scope must be evaluated separately.

Known limitations

• Availability, prerequisites and rollout scope remain authoritative in the linked Microsoft documentation.

Now check

• Confirm which recap features are preview or generally available and map them to Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop scope
• Pilot TWAIN scanner redirection and display protection with representative clients, peripherals and capture workflows
• Validate Reserve provisioning and Device Preparation, Customer Key coverage, and RDP Multipath failover before production rollout
