Introduction

In a previous post we looked at connecting to your Windows 365 Cloud PC via USB-C and an iPhone 15/16 or 17. There were a few issues noticed during that testing which I’m now happy to report are resolved.

The most glaring issue was the Cloud PC would disconnect even while in use due to the Auto-Lock security feature of the iPhone.

To resolve those problems, make sure you are using Windows app version 11.3.1 or later and configure the following settings in the Windows app, by clicking on your username icon and then selecting the General options.

Configure the following three settings:

• Allow Display Auto-Lock: OFF
• Use UDP Where Possible: ON
• Enable Teams Optimizations: ON

That’s it!

now when you connect to your Cloud PC via iPhone connected through USB-C, it will no longer disconnect your session when the preconfigured Auto-Lock timeout (usually 30 seconds) is configured. In addition, the connection to your Cloud PC will use UDP where possible and Teams will report as Optimized.

That’s a win!

cheers
