A non-persistent desktop is a virtual desktop
that does not maintain user data, personalized settings, or any other changes made by the end user.
Each time the end user logs on, they get a fresh, generic virtual desktop image.
The primary benefit of this type of virtual desktop, compared to a persistent desktop which
retains end user settings, is that it requires less storage in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
environment.
