With the April 2021 release of MEM, admins can now manage Windows 10 on ARM devices, deploy Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) applications, and more.

Windows 10 on ARM
With the April 2021 release of MEM, admins can now manage Windows 10 on ARM devices.

The MEM Compliance Settings now support the ability to configure a device’s security posture, ensuring that devices remain compliant with organizational standards. Additionally, MEM now offers improved visibility into the health of devices, allowing admins to quickly identify and address any issues.
Conclusion
The April 2021 release of MEM brings several new features and enhancements that enable IT admins to manage and secure their endpoints more effectively. With the addition of Windows 10 on ARM support and WVD application deployment, admins can now take advantage of the latest technologies to ensure that their endpoints remain secure and compliant.
