About this tag
First sign-in restore is a Microsoft feature that extends Windows Backup for Organizations by allowing users and IT administrators to restore Windows settings, Start menu pins, and Microsoft Store app lists at the first interactive sign-in, rather than only during the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE). This identity-anchored recovery provides a second chance to rehydrate a user's environment on new or reimaged devices, including Microsoft Entra hybrid-joined devices, multi-user setups, and Windows 365 Cloud PCs. The feature remains under tenant control via existing Windows Backup for Organizations policies, offering faster device refreshes and reduced setup time for enterprises.
