| Top New Features in AdminStudio 2019 |
- New: Windows 10 Continuous Compatibility
With AdminStudio 2019, you now have the capability to check the compatibility of the applications against a specific version of Windows 10, to support Microsoft's, Windows-As-A-Service (WaaS) and frequent windows operating system updates. Staying current with the latest versions of Windows 10 is going to be a continuous and routine process for all organisations and AdminStudio will help by providing insights into the applications compatibility issues for a given Windows 10 version, so such applications could be proactively identified and fixed either by repackaging, converting to a compatible format like AppV or MSIX or by using InstallShield if the application needs an advanced fix.
AdminStudio 2019 also has updated reporting to show Windows 10 version specific reports.
- New: MSIX - Automated Batch Conversions
As you may already know, AdminStudio was one of the first to support the MSIX packaging format from Microsoft. AdminStudio 2019 was enhanced further to include an Automated Application Converter (AAC) to give MSIX suitability assessment for the packages with statuses of 'MSIX Conversion not recommended', 'Ready' and 'Requires Repackaging', which can help identify the right set of packages for the conversions before the actual conversion is done. This conversion is all automated with AdminStudio 2019, which could save you time, effort and eventually cost. Look at the screenshot below to see the the Automated Application Converter in action with a sample set of packages along with their 'MSIX Readiness' statuses.

Fix compatibility issues and reliably convert to any format
The complex process of fixing compatibility issues, packaging and converting applications to the desired deployment format is automated. So you can quickly prepare applications on a daily basis, and continue ongoing migrations and virtualization efforts.
Standardising your software packaging allows you to reliably package applications with much higher quality. And your software deployment to desktops will be virtually 100% successful.
By unifying application management with one tool and one process regardless of deployment format, you'll reduce application sprawl and accelerate adoption of:
- virtualization
