Provide a localized Windows experience
For users to be productive on their Windows 365 Cloud PC, it's important for Windows to use a display language that they're comfortable with. Users can always change the display language themselves through the Settings app in Windows. But the Windows experience is more welcoming if the user sees the right language immediately, starting when they first sign in.
There are two different ways to provide a localized Windows experience when users first sign in:
- Use a provisioning policy. If you plan on using a gallery image, you can select the language when you create the provisioning policy.
- Create a custom device image. If you plan on using a custom image and you manage your Cloud PCs through group policy, you can include the language as part of the custom image.
URLs to allow
For both the provisioning policy and custom image options to set up the display languages, make sure to add the following URLs to your firewall allowlist:

- Windows 10 21H2 and 21H1
