US Patent 11968267 Computing system providing cloud-based user profile management for virtual sessions and related methods

A virtualization server may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to operate a virtual session controller configured to assign virtual sessions to a plurality of different client devices. Each virtual session may be running on a virtual machine from among a plurality of different virtual machines and having a respective user profile associated therewith stored at a cloud computing service, and the cloud computing service may be distributed over a plurality of different geographic locations and configured to store the user profiles and backups thereof at different geographic locations. The controller may further receive the user profiles from the cloud computing service and, as client devices are assigned virtual sessions on different virtual machines, roam the user profiles to the different virtual machines, and synchronize local profile changes during the virtual sessions on different virtual machines back to the user profiles stored at the cloud computing service.
