Dynamics 365 Guides and HoloLens are retiring. Here’s your path to what’s next.
In 2026, Microsoft is ending Dynamics 365 Guides and Remote Assist with no successor, and HoloLens is discontinued. We help you choose the right devices, manage the new fleet, and keep remote assist running.
What’s happening to Dynamics 365 Guides, Remote Assist, and HoloLens?
Microsoft is retiring Dynamics 365 Guides and Remote Assist. There are no new purchases or renewals after November 1, 2025, support ends December 31, 2026, and there is no successor. HoloLens is discontinued.
The replacement devices are here, remote assist runs on ArborXR today, and you don’t have to work the move out alone.
How ArborXR helps you move off Dynamics 365 Guides and Hololens
Choose the right replacement device
The right glasses depend on the work, not on a catalog: whether it needs a display or just audio and a camera, whether it has to be ruggedized, whether it’s worn all day, and whether it has to be centrally managed. We’re device-agnostic and work across the major enterprise AR/VR vendors, so we help you work through those questions and land on a fit. Download the Device Selection Guide.
Manage the whole fleet
Once you’ve chosen devices, deploy, secure, update, and support every one of them across every site from one dashboard. It’s what we already do for 3,000+ organizations, and it’s the first thing enterprises have to solve after the move.
Keep remote assist and your workflows running
Remote assist runs on ArborXR today, hands-free. For the other work you ran in Guides, like step-by-step work instructions, inspection, and training, we help you map where each workflow goes. We’re clear about what transfers to lighter glasses and what still needs a headset.
No vendor lock-in
ArborXR is device-agnostic: you manage every vendor’s devices from one place, so your next move stays open and you’re never tied to a single manufacturer.
