Recent Updates to Virtual Andrew

Computing Services recently completed a project to improve the stability and security of our Virtual Andrew service and improve your experience accessing applications virtually.

• Integration with Web Login and Two-Factor Authentication
  By now, you’re used to signing in with your Andrew userID and password and authenticating with DUO to access most of CMU’s computing resources. Now you’ll see that experience integrated into Virtual Andrew using the standard login.cmu.edu page whether you use a web browser or the desktop client.
• Updated Operating System
  Like our Windows lab computers across campus, we’ve updated the operating system in all virtual desktops from Windows 10 to Windows 11. You shouldn’t experience any interruptions to your normal workflows, but you may notice a few changes to the Windows interface.

Behind the scenes, we’ve also updated several systems to improve your experience using high-performance applications.
