Microsoft will be hosting their 2025 technical takeoff March 3-6, 2025, focusing on Windows and Intune. This is a free virtual skilling event that offers technical deep dives and panel-based discussions.

I attended Microsoft Ignite this year in Chicago, and I wanted to talk about one of the less talked about features, in fact if you blinked you probably would have missed it. Windows Backup for Organizations with Entra ID will allow IT admins to enable the backup of user settings such as quick pins in file explorer, start menu settings, and likely more.
