Updating a desktop

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at April 14, 2025

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
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing the desktop.
  2. From the list of services, select Cloud Desktop.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Desktops.
  4. Next to the desktop you want to update, click and select Update.
  5. Confirm the update.

Once the desktop is updated, reset the user password.
