Previously limited to graphics-accelerated instances, 4K (4096 × 2160) resolution is now supported on non-accelerated Amazon WorkSpaces Applications instances across native, classic, and desktop view modes. This enables end users with compatible monitors to experience ultra-high-definition clarity regardless of hardware acceleration.
This enhancement improves visual quality and user experience, particularly benefiting users with ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio monitors at 4K resolution. It is available at no extra charge in all AWS regions where WorkSpaces Applications operate, requiring recent versions of the WorkSpaces Applications agent or Managed updates released in February 2026.
