Windows Shared PC mode
MDM helps IT administrators to configure Shared PC mode for Windows devices which allows multiple users to use a single device with controlled access and personalized experience. Imagine a company with multiple shifts, and each shift has different employees using the same computers at different times. Managing multiple employees sharing the same device becomes challenging for IT administrators. MDM solves this problem through Shared PC mode which offers dedicated spaces for each employee. This ensures quick transitions between sessions with individual profiles and utilization of limited devices effectively. This policy is applicable for devices running Windows 10 and above versions.
