session state retention

Session state retention is a Windows 365 Cloud PC capability that helps users get back to work after a disconnect by preserving their session state. Coverage of this tag centers on Microsoft's 2026 Windows 365 update wave, which bundled session state retention alongside other Cloud PC administration features such as machine retirement, disaster recovery planning, and connectivity improvements for poor networks. The reporting notes that these features did not ship together and sit at different stages, with some generally available, some in public preview, and others rolling out in phases. The tag is most relevant to Cloud PC admins evaluating recovery and management options.
