Microsoft Intune and Windows 365 Weekly Highlights: 267th HTMD Newsletter 12th to 16th October 2026
Windows 365 highlights this week included the general availability of default display settings for Cloud PCs and external identity support on iOS. Microsoft Intune introduced Advanced Capabilities, formerly known as Microsoft Intune Suite, and released a new version of Remote Help for Windows. More control over Windows update approvals and a File Explorer black screen fix for AVD and FSLogix were also positive developments.
Patch Tuesday was the biggest talking point of the week, with some administrators reporting corporate Wi-Fi and VPN sign-in failures after installing KB5127648. Remote Desktop connection failures affecting non-admin users remained a known issue, while Reddit discussions highlighted minor iOS and Mobile Application Management (MAM) problems and inconsistent device category ordering in the Company Portal.
