What’s new in 2303

This release includes the following new features and enhancements. It also addresses several issues that help to improve overall performance and stability.

App access control

Profile Management can now hide applications from users, machines, and processes based on the rules you provide. With a new policy, App access control, you can enable this feature and provide control rules.

A PowerShell tool, Rule Generator, is delivered with the Profile Management installation package, letting you create, manage, and generate rules for app access control.

For more information, see Control access to applications.

Active write-back on session lock and disconnection

A new policy, Active write back on session lock and disconnection, is now available to extend the Active write back and Active write back registry policies:

With both this new policy and the Active write back policy enabled, profile files and folders are written back only when a session is locked or disconnected.
With this new policy and both the Active write back and Active write back registry policies enabled, registry entries are written back only when a session is locked or disconnected. For more information, see Configure active write-back.

VHD disk compaction

With a new policy, Enable VHD disk compaction, VHD files are now automatically compacted on user logoff when certain conditions are met. This policy enables you to save the storage space consumed by profile container, OneDrive container, and folder mirroring container.

Depending on your needs and the resources available, you can adjust the default VHD compaction settings and behavior using the following policies:

Free space ratio to trigger VHD disk compaction
Number of logoffs to trigger VHD disk compaction
Disable defragmentation for VHD disk compaction

For more information, see Enable VHD disk compaction.
