Endpoint DLP is now supported on Windows on ARM builds. That means admins can detect and protect sensitive data files, even if they’re on PCs running Windows on ARM.
This Insider build isn’t that exciting, but Microsoft has big plans for Windows this year. Windows 11 version 23H2 is on the way with AI, Copilot, native RGB support, and the return of popular Taskbar options. Microsoft also announced new features for Windows 11 on ARM that will ship this summer.
If you prefer stable updates over Insider builds, you can install the Windows 11 May 2023 Feature Update right now. It will ship to everyone in June, but it is available now as an optional update.
