2. Why you need Windows Virtual Desktop

   Range of Potential Uses
   The amount of use cases for Virtual Desktop Windows 10 are endless. For example, virtual desktops can be provided to remote workers securely using your existing Active Directory for authentication, thus allowing users to access their desktop from home via the internet.

   Do you have a legacy application that you want to publish to a subset of users? Applications can be installed on a AVD host and published to a group of users in order to minimize maintenance and management.

   AVD is a global service from Azure. AVD hosts can be deployed in multiple regions around the world to support your users globally. Being able to provide virtual desktops within the same geographic regions of your remote users ensures a great user experience.

   Do you have a particular department that requires higher compute power? It is possible to provide different compute and storage performance SKUs for different sets of users.

   Training or testing environments can be deployed with AVD to test new applications or policy settings.

   AVD is not just for enterprise users and applications- it can also be utilized by software companies to distribute a cloud version (using a SaaS model) of their application to customers.

   Ease of Management
   The AVD service manages the RDS infrastructure, so you only need to manage your users, applications, and virtual machines. RDS components such as Gateways, Brokers, and Licenses are provided by the AVD service and no longer need management. If you already have Microsoft 365 licenses, it covers AVD licensing for Windows 10.

   With the latest AVD release (Spring 2020), the AVD components are now Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources and can be managed within the Azure portal or through PowerShell. This makes managing AVD much more convenient. For example, users can be assigned to personal desktops or pools of desktops within the portal and through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) group memberships.

   Automated scaling of the AVD pools is available for powering on and off AVD hosts based on user session counts and peak hours. This saves costs by powering off virtual machines when they are not in use and powering them back on as users start logging in.

   Monitoring of Hosted VDI diagnostics is also available with dashboards and alerts available for troubleshooting and Virtual Machine (VM) or User issues.

   Windows 10 Multi-Session
   AVD hosts can be Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows Server 2012R2, 2016, or 2019. However, a major benefit of AVD is the availability of the Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-Session Operating System.

   This OS support allows for multiple users to log into a single Windows 10 VM. The multi-session capability promotes significant cost savings compared to other VDI solutions. In standard Cloud Hosted Virtual Desktop solutions, single users are assigned a dedicated virtual machine. Whereas when using Windows 10 multi-session with AVD, multiple users are assigned to a pool of desktops, thus sharing resources (and costs).

   Image Maintenance
   Windows Virtual Machines deployments are always based on some form of VM image, whether it is a standard Azure marketplace image or a “golden image” created by an IT Team to cater to company needs.

   When it comes to “golden images” there is a lot of administrative effort and many moving parts that go into creation, maintenance, and distribution of these images while keeping track of all changes; it can be a hectic and time-consuming task for businesses of any size.

   User Profile Storage
   In order to effectively use pooled Windows 10 multi-session desktops, shared storage for user profiles is a necessity. A user could be accessing a different VM every time they log in to AVD, so their user profile needs to be available and responsive.

   FSLogix in combination with Azure File Storage solves this challenge efficiently. The desired Azure Storage SKU and data redundancy options can be configured to meet any availability requirements. Each user profile is stored on the file share and is mounted at user login to the AVD host. The user is not able to tell they are using a remote profile- it simply looks as if the profile is local to the machine. The profiles are managed using FSLogix which is simple to deploy and manage. FSLogix gets installed on the VM image and configuration settings are managed using group policy.

3. Benefits of Cloud PC

   Some of the major benefits of Cloud Desktop Service or DaaS and why it is becoming so popular among today’s enterprises.

   What Is DaaS?
   Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is an exciting cloud-based technology that lets businesses deliver virtual desktops to any device from anywhere. Client devices act as a conduit for remote desktop processing without the need for onboard hardware, delivering organisations a host of benefits that simply aren’t possible when operating systems must operate natively.
   How Does DaaS Work?
   Under a Windows Cloud PC set up, a cloud services provider maintains all of the infrastructure, network resources, and storage required to deliver virtual desktops to end-user devices. Organizations then purchase virtual desktops in the quantities they need. Their fees compensate providers for server running costs, maintenance, and staff wages.
   In the past, running graphically or computationally-intensive tasks using DaaS was difficult, for example, graphic design and video editing software can use a lot of resources. Most organizations used the service for basic productivity tasks such as order processing. However, new technology is changing this, allowing more advanced work, such as CAD, to be done over the cloud without the need for local graphics accelerators.
   The Benefits of Desktop as a Service
   Here are some of the reasons why companies are so enchanted by DaaS:
   Increased Productivity
   Companies are coming to increasingly accept the productivity advantages of the cloud. 80 percent of professionals report that cloud tools make them more productive. Drivers of productivity include more responsive tools and the ability to seamlessly collaborate with colleagues anywhere in the world.

   Greener Operating
   DaaS also helps companies achieve their green objectives. Virtual desktops reduce energy requirements, extend PC life and allow for more flexible working. Colleagues no longer have to travel to the office to access business portals. Companies can make tools available to staff on their home computers via the cloud.

   Higher Consistency
   IT professionals often struggle to achieve consistency across terminals in legacy networks. Keeping all computers at the same point is a challenge given the number of updates and individual PC idiosyncrasies. Workers can sometimes find it challenging to fluidly transition from one endpoint to another, making hot-desking setups impractical.

   Azure Virtual Desktop changes this by delivering identical desktop experiences to all users. All backend investments show up as improved desktop experiences immediately, without costly delays or downtime.

5. Hide Tips

   My Portal is used to enable my elderly mother in a care home to communicate with the outside world. The screen needs to be be able to be a free of 'unnecessary' information (customisable). People with Dementia often cannot cope with changed lay outs/pop ups etc. Portal pre upgrade was perfect for this. However as TIPS can on the current not be hidden this is making the Portal not helpful!

    Fix or tell me how to fix my Portal TV so that I can use Watch Together. It's been over a month since I contacted you for help when Watch Together suddenly stopped working. And after a flurry of emails promising to fix it, you've now gone silent. I live alone and just want to share quizzes and content with my family hundreds of miles away like we used to each week. Never thought I'd be begging for a fix so close to Christmas.

13. The benefits of Desktop as a Service

    Many organizations are undergoing digital transformation, and modernizing the workplace is often a stream within the wider strategy. In order to manage remote and multi-device workforces using desktop as a service, you should think about the following seven benefits and how this will change, and hopefully improve, your currently way of working.

    1) The modern workplace
    Digital transformation is redefining what we think about the workplace. At the heart of this evolution are technology and the introduction of digital-first natives into the workplace.

    The millennial is no longer the office junior but is now the manager. By 2020, the millennial employee (those born between 1981 and 1996) is forecasted to comprise half of the global workforce, and by 2025, they will make up 75 percent of it.

    Millennials expect workplace technology to work as well as or better than their own devices. They are comfortable with technology and count on their employers to provide them with the tools they need to do their job. Allowing staff to work remotely and via their own devices is a surefire way to attract and retain the best talent.

    2) Cost
    As with many cloud initiatives, Desktop as a Service moves costs from CAPEX to OPEX, leaving you more cash in the bank to spend on growing your business. Per desktop pricing enables you to know exactly what workforce expansion will cost the IT department, removing unforeseen infrastructure or hardware purchases as this is handled by the provider, who bundle everything in with the price of each desktop.

    Virtual machines use the compute power of the data centre rather than their local machines, placing less demand on the endpoint. This means that, by using fast virtual desktops, you can extend your organisation’s desktop and laptop refresh cycle, offering a secondary means of reducing costs by keeping endpoints in action for longer. Users who are entirely office-based can be switched onto low maintenance zero clients (also known as thin clients) which have no local OS or storage. You can even go as far as bringing in a bring your own device (BYOD) policy, where staff is expected to use personal hardware to access corporate resources, which is particularly useful if your organization promotes remote working.

    3) Scalability
    Due to the ‘…as a service’ delivery model, DAAS enables you to add user workstations fast and easily. This is particularly handy when your organization utilizes contract resources or temporary project teams, as there’s no hardware to procure, meaning you have the flexibility to create a desktop almost instantly and delete it when no longer required. This also puts you in control.

    4) Control
    DaaS helps you manage the risks that naturally come with giving your staff the freedom to work anywhere and on any device. It enables you to control the essentials such as data access and compliance without being overly restrictive. You no longer have to worry about what data is held on a user’s device as the data remains in the data center at all times. This gives you control over all company assets because access can be revoked with the touch of a button.

    5) Management
    With an increasingly dispersed workforce, rolling out new applications or patching existing software has become more of a logistical problem than a technical one.
    Trying to coordinate people bringing in physical devices to be patched is a real issue for many companies, something which is eliminated completely with DaaS. You operate on one central image (or a small number of images based on persona), a change is made once, and everyone is on the latest version. It removes the need to standardise builds of end-user compute hardware as DaaS will run on almost any device no matter its configuration.

    6) Security
    DaaS moves the security risk from hundreds of end-user devices and put it all into the controlled and managed environment of a data centre. Lost or stolen laptops no longer provide a security risk. No data is on the local machine. As DaaS removes the need to create VPNs to access applications and data held by the company it also removes the problem of users trying to bypass the security in the belief that it will make their life easier.

16. Add Hanguel (Korean Keyboard) on Portal+

    I cannot find a Korean Keyboard on my Portal device.
    On a system setting, there are many keyboards of many languages, but the portal+ does not support Hanguel.
    Since there are many K-pop fans who want to use hanguel while using messengers, why don't you add a Korean keyboard on Portal+?

17. Photo casting

    Development team,

    Please do not remove photo casting on December 6.

    Photo casting sets you above other videocalling platforms.

    The Portal needs the photo casting function, otherwise you might as well just FaceTime and screen share.

    Removing photo casting is not a good way to keep customers on board or attract new ones.

19. More variations a

    I'm currently trying to teach my Dad with Alzheimers how to use Facebook portal TV so we can stay in touch. He's struggles to use it because he says 'Hi PortAL' and can't get the words 'phone [my name]' out fast enough. He feels like such a failure when it doesn't work. Is it possible to get Portal to recognise Hi instead of just Hey and port-AL rather than just portal. Also it would be great if it can listen out for commands a tiny bit longer, while my Dad finds his words.
