Windows 11 Azure VDI requires Microsoft apps to sign-in every time user signs-in to VDI.

Question

Windows 11 Azure VDI requires Microsoft apps to sign-in every time user signs-in to VDI.

Jerry Forde 0

Every time a user sign-ins to the Azure Windows 11 VDI they have to sign in to all the Microsoft Apps (Word, Excel, Outlook, One Drive, Teams). This is very time consuming and annoying for our users. When we used to use Azure Windows 10 VDI we did not have this problem.

I hope someone has a solution to this issue.

Thanks - Jerry
