AWS workspaces: Windows WorkSpaces client 5.35.0 release notes

Service: workspaces · 2026-10-09 · Documentation low

File: workspaces/latest/userguide/amazon-workspaces-windows-client.md

Summary

Added release notes for Windows client version 5.35.0 covering full screen mode improvements, new UI language support, a 'Show in folder' option for upload notifications, re-enabled printer preference support, clarified messaging for Try New WorkSpaces, and several bug fixes (connecting to unavailable WorkSpaces, sign-in after ~30 minutes, high contrast theme rendering), plus installer size reduction and DCV/WebView2 SDK updates.

Security assessment

The release notes are primarily functional/UX changes and general bug fixes. The closest security-adjacent items (connecting to a WorkSpace that was not available, and a sign-in page timeout issue) are described as functional defects with no stated vulnerability, CVE, or security impact, so no concrete security fix is evidenced.

Evidence

+  * Fixed an issue in the new client experience that allowed connecting to a WorkSpace that was not available, such as one under maintenance, under certain conditions.
