Project
Microsoft's cloud-based endpoint management service for enrolling, configuring, and securing Windows, mobile, and other devices across an organization.
Microsoft documented on October 14 that Windows 11 hosts with Administrator protection can reject non-admin Remote Desktop logins with error 0xC000000D. The listed workaround turns the feature off on those hosts, and the issue is still open.
Reality
Microsoft began rolling out settings commands in Windows 11 taskbar Search to Insiders on Oct. 7, 2026, with no general release date. No Intune, Group Policy or auditing controls have been announced, so the feature belongs on a test PC.
Reality
According to CRN, Microsoft's Execution Containers for securing AI agents on Windows 11 are now generally available, and Intune policies manage them. Windows teams now have a supported place to govern agents, though the report says little about what a container actually isolates.
Reality
Microsoft made WSL Containers generally available with a wslc.exe CLI, an app-facing API, and Intune settings to disable it or allow-list registries. Through that API any native Windows app can start a Linux container, so policy has to cover software launches as well as developers at a prompt.

Microsoft's Defender Experts say Storm-3068 reset one user's password and ran an Azure DevOps pipeline authorized to reach more than 50 resources. It pulled the kubeconfig files that authenticate to a Kubernetes cluster.
Reality
Microsoft has switched Windows settings backup on by default for Entra-joined and hybrid-joined PCs upgraded to Windows 11 26H2, released September 29. Tenants that never set the policy now copy users' settings and Store app lists until an admin turns it off.
Reality
Microsoft's Purview and Entra Global Secure Access can now block sensitive uploads to unsanctioned AI tools at the network layer, for users and agents. Licensing is not in the announcement, so tenants cannot yet tell whether it is a setting or a purchase.
Reality
Microsoft's Execution Containers SDK, previewed at Build 2026, lets a developer state what an agent may touch and leaves Windows to apply that at runtime, with Entra and Intune setting the policy per agent.
Reality
eSentire says a phishing kit called GhostCode used Microsoft's device-code flow to register three devices within 77 seconds of a victim completing MFA, and one of them stayed enrolled in Intune until it was explicitly removed.
Reality
Build 26220.9343 promoted Cloud Rebuild to the Beta channel on September 9, and a rebuild now reformats the system disk and fetches Windows plus drivers from Windows Update while still needing someone at the keyboard.
Reality
Connecting a content token is what lets the Intune Company Portal install during Automated Device Enrollment without an Apple ID prompt, and the token stays valid for a year unless the account that downloaded it changes its password.
Reality
A device preparation policy in automatic mode holds provisioning open until the named apps and scripts install, with one provisioning-policy checkbox deciding whether a Cloud PC that fails preparation still reaches its user.
Reality
Admins can now set filesystem, network, proxy, developer-tool and Keychain limits for Copilot sessions from inside the plugin rather than through a device-management request, and a new diagnostics tool tells them whether the policy reached the laptop.
Reality
The September cumulative updates are mandatory, so the 1,000 accumulated fixes arrive fused to a movable taskbar, renamed Start sections, new Search suggestion settings and automatic indexing of the folders a user touches most.
Reality
RelayPublisher publishes YAML manifests as Intune line-of-business apps straight from CI, which relocates the right to write apps in your tenant from a human's time-boxed elevation to a pipeline credential that holds it permanently.
Reality
KB5120998 carries 35 quality changes and no security fixes, which puts the real deadline in September. The parts worth testing before then are the taskbar and Start menu rework and the removal of WMIC.
Reality
Microsoft's managed detection service now works third-party telemetry ingested into Sentinel, on the MDR P2 tier and with no published price. Anyone paying a separate provider to read those same tables has a renewal conversation.
