31 December 2025: Documentation-only updates, including a Windows client prerequisite for Global Secure Access

A quiet period with two Microsoft Learn documentation updates and no reported launches, previews, general-availability changes, retirements, or Message Center notices. The most specific change updates Global Secure Access installation guidance; an Entra ID Lexmark Cloud Services OIDC tutorial was also revised, but no substantive detail was supplied.

  Global Secure Access Windows client guidance specifies device-join prerequisites

  The updated Install Windows Client documentation states that the managed device must be joined to the onboarded tenant and must be either Microsoft Entra joined or Microsoft Entra hybrid joined. This is an installation-guidance update; the evidence does not establish a new feature or changed enforcement behavior.

  Lexmark Cloud Services OIDC tutorial updated without substantive change details

  The Entra ID tutorial for Lexmark Cloud Services OIDC was marked updated, but its supplied summary contains no description of changed steps, requirements, availability, or administrator action. Treat this as a documentation revision unless the tutorial itself reveals otherwise.
