Troubleshoot Windows 365 Business Cloud PC setup issues
This article provides troubleshooting steps for the "Setup failed" error or the issue where the setup takes longer than 90 minutes after you assign the user a license.
Important
You must be a Global Administrator to do most tasks described in this article. If other admin roles can be used for a specific procedure, they're noted before the procedure. If you don't have permission to sign in to or access parts of the Azure portal, contact your IT administrator. For more information about Azure rules, see Microsoft Entra built-in roles. To learn more about the Azure portal, see Azure portal overview.
Make sure the MDM authority configuration is set up correctly
Ensure that the mobile device management (MDM) authority configuration is set up correctly. Depending on whether you plan to use Microsoft Intune to manage the Cloud PCs, follow the appropriate path:
- If you use or plan to use Microsoft Intune for your Cloud PCs, follow the steps in Path A: Use Microsoft Intune to manage your Cloud PCs.
- If you don't plan to use Microsoft Intune to manage your Cloud PCs, follow the steps in Path B: Turn off automatic MDM enrollment and Intune enrollment in Organization Settings.
Path A: Use Microsoft Intune to manage your Cloud PCs
If you already use Microsoft Intune, or plan to use it to manage your Windows 365 Cloud PCs, make sure that your Mobility (MDM and MAM) settings in Microsoft Entra ID are correctly configured.
- In the Azure portal, go to the Microsoft Entra Overview page.
- In the left navigation pane, under Manage, select Mobility (MDM and MAM), and then select Microsoft Intune.
- On the Configure page, next to MDM user scope, select Some or All, and then select Save.
- In the left navigation pane, under Manage, select Mobility (MDM and MAM) > Microsoft Intune Enrollment, and then repeat step 3.
If the automatic enrollment of new Cloud PCs into the Microsoft Intune setting is turned on, users might see their Cloud PCs fail to complete their setup on the Windows 365 home page. Consult the following table for how to troubleshoot these issues:
Error | Troubleshooting steps |
---|---|
To complete the setup, ask your administrator to update policy settings in Microsoft Intune to enroll this device. | Check the Intune settings you might have previously set on your tenant. For more information, see Troubleshoot policies and profiles. Once the issue is fixed, either you or the user can reset the Cloud PC. |
To complete the setup, ask your administrator to remove restrictions preventing Intune from allowing Windows enrollment. | You might have set up enrollment restrictions on your Intune tenant. For more information, see Enrollment restrictions overview. Once the restrictions are removed, either you or the user can reset the Cloud PC. |
To complete the setup, ask your administrator to correct the configuration of the Mobile Device Management discovery URL in Intune. | Confirm that the MDM discovery URL is the default for Intune. Follow steps 1-4 to set it in Configure automatic MDM enrollment. Once the MDM discovery URL is set to the default, either you or the user can reset the Cloud PC. |
Users who are assigned a Cloud PC must have an Intune license assigned to them to receive user policies. The CloudPCBPRT system account doesn't need to be assigned an Intune license.
Important
To assign licenses, you must be a Global or Licensing administrator, or you must have a role with licensing permissions.
- In the Microsoft Intune admin center, select Users > All Users.
- In the All users list, select a user.
- On the user Profile page, select Licenses.
- On the Licenses page, select Assignments.
- Find Intune, select the checkbox, and then select Save. The user account now has the permissions to use the service and enroll devices.
- Go to Reset your Cloud PCs.
Path B: Turn off automatic MDM enrollment and Intune enrollment in Organization Settings
If you don't plan to use Microsoft Intune for your Cloud PC management, turn off automatic MDM enrollment and clear the Enroll new Cloud PCs in Microsoft Intune checkbox in Organization Settings.
Important
If you're not the MDM administrator, don't use either of the following procedures without first consulting your IT administrator. Only follow these procedures if Cloud PCs aren't being set up. Any configuration changes could affect your management environment. If you need help, contact Intune support.
Use the Microsoft Entra admin center to turn off automatic Intune enrollment
- In the Azure portal, go to the Microsoft Entra Overview page.

- On the Configure page, you see one of two things. If you have a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 subscription, select None next to MDM user scope, and then select Save. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 subscription, select Disable.
- In the left navigation pane, under Manage, select Mobility (MDM and MAM), and select Microsoft Intune Enrollment.
- Go to Reset your Cloud PCs.
Turn off the automatic enrollment of newly created Cloud PCs

- On the right-hand side, scroll down to Microsoft Intune and clear the Enroll new Cloud PCs in Microsoft Intune checkbox.
- Select Save at the bottom.
