Microsoft Opens Public Preview of Windows 365 Cloud Apps for App-Only Streaming

The preview targets shift-based workforces by streaming only required apps from shared Frontline Cloud PCs to reduce VDI overhead.

Overview

  • The service delivers individual Windows applications from the cloud without provisioning a full Cloud PC, focusing on task-based roles.
  • Cloud Apps run on Windows 365 Frontline in shared mode, allowing unlimited named users per license with one active session at a time.
  • Custom line-of-business software currently requires administrators to create custom images to publish those apps as Cloud Apps.
  • Microsoft says upcoming Intune and Autopilot integration will let IT publish Intune apps directly as Cloud Apps to streamline deployment.
  • User experience updates from the private preview include automatic OneDrive launch and a Windows 365 filter in the Windows App to surface cloud-delivered apps.
