Changing an image, data disk size, vCPU, vCPU or RAM share in desktop group settings will trigger the recreation of its desktops.
The system will recreate the boot disk using the image you previously selected for the desktop group. As a result, you will lose the software and updates installed there. These changes will not affect the data disk and user directory though.
To apply changes to a specific desktop, update it.
Management console
- In the management console, select the folder containing your desktop group.
- From the list of services, select Cloud Desktop.
- Next to the desktop group you want to update, click and select Edit.
- Select the Group type: Personal or Session.

- Under Desktop users, click Add users and specify those the desktops will be available to:
