Settings overview

Cloud PC Settings is a central place for IT administrators to configure and manage settings for Cloud PCs. These settings are dynamic and can be updated throughout the Cloud PC lifecycle.

Windows 365 supports four types of settings objects:

• Cloud PC configurations

• Windows App settings

• Remote connection experience

• User settings

Each settings object serves a specific purpose and includes one or more settings features. For most settings, you can choose from these options:

• Not configured (default): No value is set, and the setting isn’t explicitly enabled or disabled.
• Enabled: Turns the setting on.
• Disabled: Turns the setting off.

Priority

Each settings policy is assigned a unique global priority, where 1 is the highest priority. By default, a new policy is assigned as the lowest priority.

If two settings policies include conflicting values, the policy with the higher priority takes precedence over the lower-priority policy.

Note

For AI-enabled features, the most secure policy will always take precedence regardless of the priority number.
