Expected with Intune's January (2601) release, all guided scenarios, except Windows 365 Boot, will be removed from the Intune admin center.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Admins will no longer have access to the guided scenario wizards in the Intune admin center. However, any Intune objects previously created by these wizards, such as policies and apps, will remain and can continue to be managed as usual.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
No action is required, only awareness. This change will not impact existing configurations or require admin intervention.
