Microsoft to enable Windows settings backup by default for orgs

Microsoft will automatically enable the Windows settings backup and restore feature for organizations using Microsoft Entra-joined or hybrid-joined systems when they upgrade to Windows 11 26H2. This change streamlines configuration management for enterprise deployments by making the backup capability opt-out rather than opt-in.

Why it matters: Enterprise IT administrators managing Windows 11 deployments need to review backup policies and ensure this default behavior aligns with their security and data residency requirements, particularly regarding where settings are stored.
