Microsoft’s dropped FSLogix v3, and it’s live as of today, February 22, 2025. After a quiet stretch since 2210, here’s what this update brings to the VDI party.
The Scoop
Long Wait Over: Last big drop was 2210 (Dec 2022). V3, teased in Early Access Dec 2024, proves FSLogix isn’t snoozing.
Focus: Stability, Teams alignment, and some handy tweaks—not a feature explosion.
What’s New in v3?
Versioning Glow-Up:
Jumped to v3; builds now use date format (e.g., 25.XX for 2025).
Major releases will tick up (3, 4, 5…), promising steadier updates.Cloud Cache Gets Flexible:
No more “failure = config error” nonsense.
Easier to test redundancy—perfect for custom setups.PowerShell Module:
New Microsoft.FSLogix module for Cloud Cache sleuthing.
Logs, status, fixes—less manual digging.Stability & Teams Love:
Beefed-up reliability, smoother Teams integration.
Fewer crashes in multi-session VDI (fingers crossed).-
Spring Cleaning:
Dropped 32-bit OS support (Windows 7, Server 2012 R2—bye!).
Axed Cloud Cache size limits, system tray applet, Profile Config Tool.Why It Matters
Lifeline for Admins: After late-night FSLogix battles (like that failover test that aged me a decade), v3’s Cloud Cache tweaks and PowerShell module mean more control, fewer tears.
Teams Fix: Hybrid work demands solid Teams in VDI—v3 delivers.

No More Ghosting: Two-year gap since 2210 had me worried; new versioning says Microsoft’s in it for the long haul—hallelujah!
What’s Missing?
No Big Bang: Less “wow” than 2210’s disk compaction—more of a tune-up.

TBC: Early Access hints at a base for future goodies—stay tuned.
