FAQ for Windows device management

If the user’s device was enrolled in Windows device management, the device remains enrolled and any existing policies pushed to the device aren’t affected. However, the device won’t receive any policy updates or new policies. You can always remove policies from the device by unenrolling the device.

Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW)

• Users with any type of Google Workspace or Cloud Identity license can still use GCPW to receive the sign-in benefits of their Google Account.
• You can use the Google Admin console to remotely sign a user out from their Google Account.

Windows device management

• Users devices won't be enrolled into Windows management.
• Users devices won't receive any Windows settings and updates you push to devices.
• You can't use remote actions on the device, such as wiping data on a device (except remote sign-out).

In most cases, it takes a few minutes after you save your settings to push them to internet-connected Windows devices. However, it can take up to 6 hours. Devices that aren't connected to the internet get the updated settings the next time they connect.

Users can sync their devices with new settings at any time, as follows:

1. From the Windows Start menu, go to Settings > Accounts.
2. On the left, click Access work or school.
3. Click the item that says "Connected to your network."
4. Click Info.
5. Under Device sync status, click Sync.
