- Engineer — Plan: Windows 11 26H2 now syncs settings to Microsoft cloud by default on Entra-joined devices; review what data is included and enforce group policy to disable or scope it if cloud data residency or credential leakage is a concern.
- SOC/IR — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Compliance and data-governance teams should note this new default behavior, as enterprise device settings will now sync to Microsoft cloud unless explicitly restricted by policy.
