Microsoft will retire the ability to create App-V packages for Microsoft 365 Apps starting January 13, 2026, focusing on Click-to-Run deployment instead. Existing App-V packages will still work, but new ones cannot be created with updated tools. Organizations should transition to Click-to-Run before this date.
