Windows 365 Cloud Apps
Overview
The Windows 365 Cloud Apps feature enables administrators to give users access to individual apps hosted on a Cloud PC without requiring a dedicated Cloud PC for every user. From a licensing perspective, Windows 365 Cloud Apps run on Windows 365 Frontline Cloud PCs in Shared Mode, and thus Windows 365 Frontline licenses are required to use Cloud Apps.
History
Microsoft announced the general availability of Windows 365 Cloud Apps in November 2025.
