Microsoft has introduced a new policy to simplify the Windows sign-in process for IT administrators by allowing automatic approval of Single Sign-On (SSO) permissions on eligible managed devices. This feature will be available with the July 2026 security update for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) have been facing prompts for consent due to regulatory changes, prompting Microsoft to streamline access for managed devices. IT administrators can use a specific registry setting (HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsAAD, Value: AutoAcceptSsoPermission (DWORD) = 1) to automatically grant SSO permissions. This feature is designed for managed enterprise devices linked to Microsoft Entra ID and does not affect personal accounts or unmanaged devices. Organizations must ensure their devices are updated and can enable the feature through various enterprise management tools.
