About this tag
The intune restore policy tag covers Microsoft's first sign-in restore feature, which allows IT teams to rehydrate Windows settings, Start menu pins, and Microsoft Store app lists when a new or reimaged device reaches the desktop for the first time. Announced in mid-January 2026 and rolling into recent Windows 11 builds, this feature extends restore paths beyond the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) and supports hybrid-managed environments, including Microsoft Entra hybrid-joined devices, multi-user devices, and Windows 365 Cloud PCs. It remains under tenant control via existing Windows Backup for Organizations policies, giving administrators a practical second chance to restore user configurations.
