    Thanks for your answer, @Bharath Y P ! However, when I look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/update-manager/support-matrix-updates?tabs=mpir-winos%2Cci-win&WT.mc_id=Portal-Microsoft_Azure_Automation&pivots=azure-vm#custom-images, it states that only server OS custom images are supported. No client OS is mentioned. With AVD, you often create a custom image within an Azure Compute Gallery. A lot of our customers are using AVD Windows 11 multi-session.

    Hello Erdélyi, István. It looks like you're asking about the compatibility of Azure Update Manager with Windows 11 for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) session hosts. The official documentation mentions that Azure Update Manager does support updates for Windows 11 session hosts.

    Here's a quick overview of how it works:

    Azure Update Manager can handle updates for session hosts running both Windows 10 and Windows 11. This includes automatic updates based on your configured policies. Ensure you have your session host configurations set properly to use Windows 11 images.

    Troubleshooting Common Issues with Updates:

    • If you encounter issues with session hosting updates, refer to the Azure documentation for troubleshooting steps, which generally involve checking for resource availability and ensuring all session host configurations match.

    Additional Resources:

    I hope this helps clear things up! If you have more specific questions or if there are other details about your setup, feel free to share.
