| **Web sign-in for Windows** </br> [23H2][23H2] <!--8344016--> | You can enable a web-based sign-in experience on [Microsoft Entra](https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/microsoft-entra?ef_id=_k_910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c_k_&OCID=AIDcmmdamuj0pc_SEM__k_910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c_k_&msclkid=910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c) joined devices, unlocking new sign-in options, and capabilities. For more information, see [Web sign-in for Windows](/windows/security/identity-protection/web-sign-in). |
| **Federated sign-in** </br> [23H2][23H2] <!--7593916, 7593946--> | Federated sign-in is a great way to simplify the sign-in process for your users: instead of having to remember a username and password defined in [Microsoft Entra](https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/microsoft-entra?ef_id=_k_910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c_k_&OCID=AIDcmmdamuj0pc_SEM__k_910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c_k_&msclkid=910ee369e9a812f6048b86296a6a402c) ID, they can sign-in using their existing credentials from the federated identity provider. For more information, see [Configure federated sign-in for Windows devices](/education/windows/federated-sign-in). |
| **Windows Hello for Business authentication improvement** </br> [23H2][23H2] <!--7771685--> | Peripheral face and fingerprint sensors can be used for Windows Hello for Business authentication on devices where Enhanced Sign-in Security (Secure Biometrics) enabled at the factory.

| **Windows Local Admin Password Solution (LAPS)** </br> [24H2] | Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (Windows LAPS) is a Windows feature that automatically manages and backs up the password of a local administrator account on your Microsoft Entra joined or Windows Server Active Directory-joined devices. Windows LAPS is the successor for the now deprecated legacy Microsoft LAPS product. For more information, see [What is Windows LAPS?](/windows-server/identity/laps/laps-overview)|
| **App Control for Business** </br> [24H2]<!--8223790--> | Customers can now use App Control for Business (formerly called Windows Defender Application Control) and its next-generation capabilities to protect their digital property from malicious code. With App Control for Business, IT teams can configure what runs in a business environment through Microsoft Intune or other MDMs in the admin console, including setting up Intune as a managed installer. For more information, see [Application Control for Windows](/windows/security/application-security/application-control/app-control-for-business/appcontrol).|
| **Local Security Authority (LSA) protection enablement** </br> [24H2]| An audit occurs for incompatibilities with [LSA protection](/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection) for a period of time, starting with this upgrade. If incompatibilities aren't detected, LSA protection is automatically enabled. You can check and change the enablement state of LSA protection in the Windows Security application under the **Device Security** > **Core Isolation** page. In the event log, [LSA protection logs](/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection#identify-plug-ins-and-drivers-that-lsassexe-fails-to-load) whether programs are blocked from loading into LSA. |
| **Rust in the Windows kernel** </br> [24H2] | There's a new implementation of [GDI region](/windows/win32/gdi/regions) in `win32kbase_rs.sys`. Since Rust offers advantages in reliability and security over traditional programs written in C/C++, you'll continue to see more use of it in the kernel. |
| **SHA-3 support** </br> [24H2] | Support for the SHA-3 family of hash functions and SHA-3 derived functions (SHAKE, cSHAKE, KMAC) was added. The SHA-3 family of algorithms is the latest standardized hash functions by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Support for these functions is enabled through the Windows [CNG](/windows/win32/seccng/cng-portal) library. |
| **Windows Local Admin Password Solution (LAPS)** </br> [24H2] | Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (Windows LAPS) is a Windows feature that automatically manages and backs up the password of a local administrator account on your Microsoft Entra joined or Windows Server Active Directory-joined devices. Windows LAPS is the successor for the now deprecated legacy Microsoft LAPS product. For more information, see [What is Windows LAPS?](/windows-server/identity/laps/laps-overview)|
| **Windows&nbsp;LAPS** </br> Automatic account management </br> [24H2] | [Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS)](/windows-server/identity/laps/laps-overview) has a new automatic account management feature. Admins can configure Windows LAPS to:</br>&nbsp;&nbsp;• Automatically create the managed local account</br>&nbsp;&nbsp;• Configure name of account</br>&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enable or disable the account</br>&nbsp;&nbsp;• Randomize the name of the account |
| **Windows&nbsp;LAPS** </br> Policy improvements </br> [24H2]| &nbsp;&nbsp;• Added passphrase settings for the [PasswordComplexity](/windows/client-management/mdm/laps-csp#policiespasswordcomplexity) policy </br> &nbsp;&nbsp;• Use [PassphraseLength](/windows/client-management/mdm/laps-csp#policiespassphraselength) to control the number of words in a new passphrase </br> &nbsp;&nbsp;• Added an improved readability setting for the [PasswordComplexity](/windows/client-management/mdm/laps-csp#policiespasswordcomplexity) policy, which generates passwords without using characters that are easily confused with another character. For example, the number <kbd>0</kbd> and the letter <kbd>O</kbd> aren't used in the password since the characters can be confused. </br>&nbsp;&nbsp;• Added the `Reset the password, logoff the managed account, and terminate any remaining processes` setting to the [PostAuthenticationActions](/windows/client-management/mdm/laps-csp#policiespostauthenticationactions) policy. The event logging messages that are emitted during post-authentication-action execution were also expanded, to give insights into exactly what was done during the operation. |
| **Windows&nbsp;LAPS** </br> Image rollback detection </br> [24H2] | Image rollback detection was introduced for LAPS. LAPS can detect when a device was rolled back to a previous image. When a device is rolled back, the password in Active Directory might not match the password on the device that was rolled back. This new feature adds an Active Directory attribute, `msLAPS-CurrentPasswordVersion`, to the [Windows LAPS schema](/windows-server/identity/laps/laps-technical-reference#mslaps-currentpasswordversion). This attribute contains a random GUID that Windows LAPS writes every time a new password is persisted in Active Directory, followed by saving a local copy. During every processing cycle, the GUID stored in `msLAPS-CurrentPasswordVersion` is queried and compared to the locally persisted copy. If the GUIDs are different, the password is immediately rotated. To enable this feature, you need to run the latest version of the [Update-LapsADSchema PowerShell cmdlet](/powershell/module/laps/update-lapsadschema). |
| **Windows protected print mode** </br> [24H2] | Windows protected print mode (WPP) enables a modern print stack which is designed to work exclusively with [Mopria certified printers](https://mopria.org/certified-products). For more information, see [What is Windows protected print mode (WPP)](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/a-new-modern-and-secure-print-experience-from-windows/ba-p/4002645) and [Windows Insider WPP announcement](https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2023/12/13/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26016-canary-channel/). |
