Application modernisation

CIM

Composite Image File System

Windows image container format used in some modern application delivery scenarios, often discussed alongside MSIX App Attach and VHDX packaging options.

CIM matters during Windows 11, Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Cloud PC programmes because application blockers can delay the whole rollout. The practical question is whether the term helps capture, package, sign, deploy, or troubleshoot an app with less rework.
