About this tag
Cloud rebuild is a new recovery capability introduced by Microsoft as part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative, announced at Ignite 2025. It allows IT administrators to remotely reinstall and reprovision a Windows device from the cloud using Microsoft Intune, without requiring physical access or local media. Cloud rebuild works alongside Point-in-Time Restore (PITR) and Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) to form a cloud-centric recovery playbook. The feature is designed to reduce downtime for enterprise fleets by enabling remote remediation of corrupted systems caused by bad updates, driver issues, or other failures. Cloud rebuild leverages the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and Intune orchestration to automate the rebuild process, aiming to shrink recovery from hours or days to minutes.
