Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) enables organizations to deliver Win32 applications to users as virtual applications. Virtual applications are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to users as a service – in real time and on as as-needed basis. Users launch virtual applications from familiar access points and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) helps organizations to deliver Win32 applications to employees as virtual apps. Virtual apps are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to employees as a service – in real time and on an as-needed basis. Employees start virtual apps from familiar access points and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows 10, version 1607, includes these new features and capabilities compared to App-V 5.1. See [App-V release notes](appv-release-notes-for-appv-for-windows.md) for more information about the App-V for Windows 10, version 1607 release.
## What's new in App-V Windows 10, version 1703
The following are new features in App-V for Windows 10, version 1703.
### Auto sequence and update your App-V packages singly or as a batch
Previous versions of the App-V Sequencer have required you to manually sequence and update your app packages. This was time-consuming and required extensive interaction, causing many companies to deploy brand-new packages rather than update an existing one. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces the App-V Auto-Sequencer, which automatically sequences your app packages, improving your overall experience by streamlining the provisioning of the prerequisite environment, automating app installation, and expediting the package updating setup.
Using the automatic sequencer to package your apps provides:
- Automatic virtual machine (VM) provisioning of the sequencing environment. For info about this, see [Automatically sequence a new app using the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-sequence-a-new-app.md)
- Batch-sequencing of packages. This means that multiple apps can be sequenced at the same time, in a single group. For info about this, see [Automatically sequence multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-sequencing.md).
- Batch-updating of packages. This means that multiple apps can be updated at the same time, in a single group. For info about this, see [Automatically update multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-updating.md).
### Updates to the App-V project template
Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, you can save an App-V project template (.appvt) file as part of a sequenced App-V package, so it's automatically loaded every time the package opens for editing or updates. Your template can include general option settings, file exclusion list settings, and target operating system settings. For more info about this, see [Create and apply an App-V project template to a sequenced App-V package](appv-create-and-use-a-project-template.md)
### Automatically cleanup unpublished App-V packages from the App-V client
Previous versions of App-V have required you to manually remove your unpublished packages from your client devices, to free up additional storage space. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces the ability to use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically cleanup your unpublished packages after a device restart. For more info about this, see [Automatically cleanup unpublished packages on the App-V client](appv-auto-clean-unpublished-packages.md)
## What's new in App-V in Windows 10, version 1607
The following are new features in App-V for Windows 10, version 1607.
## App-V is now a feature in Windows 10
