Windows App, pasting files hangs OS
Hi all, We’re experiencing an intermittent but frustrating issue when using the Windows App to connect to our Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Issue: When users attempt to copy and paste certain files from their local machine to the remote session, the operating system on the remote side hangs. The mouse still moves, and the clock continues to tick, but: -Start menu becomes unresponsive -Taskbar icons stop registering clicks -Desktop icons are frozen -No error messages appear This occurs sporadically and seems to affect files of varying sizes and types — 100KB up to 20MB. What we've tried: -Updating the Windows App to the latest version -Verifying clipboard redirection is enabled -Using MSTSC, and the Remote Desktop Store App. These work but don't support Session Pools, Remote -Apps, or SSO. -Using RemoteDesktop_1.2.6228.0 (MSI Install) Has the same issue as Windows App Environment: -Remote app hosted in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) -Users connecting from Windows 10/11 clients -Windows App version: 2.0.419.0, 2.0.420.0, and 2.0.500.0 All ideas welcome - is a major disruption to our business processes.
Latest Remote Desktop client not starting on W10 LTSB 1607
Hello. We're using about 50 thin-clients to connect to our AVD systems. The HP t530 thin-clients are running Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB / ver 1607 / build 14393 / RS1 and have the Remote Desktop client for Windows (msi) installed, with auto update enabled. This all worked fine until the most recent releases of the Remote Desktop client. Starting with version 1.2.6186 the app simply doesn't start anymore. There's no gui, no errors, nothing. Just for a few seconds the spinning blue circle next to the cursor. It does create msrdcw_xxx.etl files in %temp%\DiagOutputDir\RdClientAutoTrace, however i couldn't locate any obvious errors in it. Upgrading to 1.2.6187 does fixes the problem temporary (but that's probably because it's actually based on the older 1.2.6081 version). Upgrading to the latest releases 1.2.6188, 1.2.6227 and 1.2.6228 reintroduces the problem. It's not something in the thin-client image, also did a fresh Win10 1607 install with latest Windows Updates, same problem. Is there anything i can do or try, except blocking all future updates and staying on 1.2.6187?AVD with FSLogix - profiles not loading
Setup AVD with FSLogix several months back and profiles had been loading fine. About a month ago, profiles stopped loading and the logs show "Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced." This is in regards to connecting to the profile share path. If I manually try to go to that path, I receive the same error. The accounts do have a password, so it shouldn't be anything to do with a blank password. There are no sign-in time restrictions enforced on these accounts. What's left is a "policy restriction", which is kind of vague. Things I've tried: update to latest FSLogix verify permissions on profile storage enabled these in local policy: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options ‘Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only‘ = disabled Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation ‘Restrict delegation of credentials to remote servers‘ = disabled I have a ticket open with MS support for 3 weeks now, but thus far they've been completely useless.
MultiMonitor Support for AVD Webclient
Hello, We have users using HP ThinPRO to connect to AVD. They normally use AVD client but that seems having latency. However user confirmed once they use AVD Webclient via browser https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/ its working pretty fine. There is only one challenge as they can use more than one monitor. Is there any option to use more than one monitor with AVD webclient? Thanks PankajAVD Configuring with O365
I am in the process of setting up Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) infrastructure for our 10 users located across South India. While most configurations are in place, I am currently encountering a few issues that need your attention: Access Issue on Laptops: I am able to successfully access AVD from mobile devices. However, when attempting to log in from a laptop, I am facing an issue. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference. Team Error on Windows 11 with O365 Image: I have deployed the Windows 11 image with Microsoft 365 Apps. Unfortunately, when trying to access Microsoft Teams, I receive an error. Further assistance on this would be appreciated. User ID Customization: I’d like to create user IDs that are simple and easy for our users to remember. Could you guide me on where and how to configure or rename the user IDs? My test user id is email address removed for privacy reasonsPrepare now for Remote Desktop client for Windows end of support
On March 27, 2026, the Remote Desktop client standalone installer (MSI) for Windows will reach end of support. Before that date, IT administrators may need to migrate their users to Windows App so they can continue connecting to their remote resources via Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Microsoft Dev Box. Remote Desktop client will continue to receive security updates until end of support, after which it will no longer be available for download. To learn more about how to prepare for end of support on March 27, 2026, please read aka.ms/RemoteDesktopClient.How to fix error in AVD with VMs not being added to host pool or AD
Problem Several users have commented and posted on different networks about the error that appears when adding virtual machines to their host pool, the error is when the VMs want to join to the AD. The first thing we need to know is that if we add or create a new hostpool (as in my case), the deployment will tell us Azure that everything is correct, that is, as if the machines have joined the AD. Here I show the deployment with everything correct. Now if we check the status of our hostpool machines, we will see that it tells us the total number of VMs and the option of which one we can connect to and which one we cannot. In my case we see that we can supposedly connect to one and not to the other. When testing the connection, it fails on both machines. This is normal since if we check the health status of both we see the following. Basically it tells us that there is a problem joining the domain with the VM. Solution Below I show the solution that has worked for me, from different tenants, different subscriptions that had the same problem. We are going to go to our subscription and in it, in the setting section, we are going to click on Resource provider as shown in the following image. Next we look for the provider "Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization" We select it and then click on "unregister" Now what we are going to do is re-register, that is, we click on "register" Confirm that register is correct again. Now we deploy AVD again and add the VMs we need to our Hostpool, and in this case I have chosen Enter ID to do the Join *you can select your preferens) Validate de new deployment As we see here, the deployment has also indicated that it was correct, so we are going to confirm it. Here we can see that we already have the machines ready for the session. I hope this helps you solve the problems you are having with VMs and hostpools.
Function app script stopped working
I have a simple function app that uses this script to shut down inactive AVD VMs that had worked for about two years simply stopped working. Instead, it produce this error: ERROR: Error stopping the VM: GenericArguments[0], 'Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Models.VirtualMachine', on 'System.Nullable`1[T] MaxInteger[T](System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Nullable`1[T]])' violates the constraint of type 'T'. After much troubleshooting and searching for something relevant, I discovered that the function app's host.json file was set to: { "version":"2.0", "managedDependency": { "Enabled": true }, "extensionBundle": { "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle", "version": "[2.*, 3.0.0]" } } Since v.2 and v.3 are [no longer supported](http://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-versions?tabs=isolated-process%2Cv4&pivots=programming-language-powershell), I changed it to { "version":"2.0", "managedDependency": { "Enabled": true }, "extensionBundle": { "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle", "version": "[4.0.0, 5.0.0]" } } ``` I also noticed that the `requirements.psd1` file was set to # This file enables modules to be automatically managed by the Functions service. # See https://aka.ms/functionsmanageddependency for additional information. # @{ # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below. 'Az' = '8.*' } So I changed it to # This file enables modules to be automatically managed by the Functions service. # See https://aka.ms/functionsmanageddependency for additional information. # @{ # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below. 'Az' = '13.*' } None of this helped. The same error was generated. I then realized I might need to restart the app, which I did. After this, I see this warning and error: 2025-03-03T21:42:45Z [Warning] The first managed dependency download is in progress, function execution will continue when it's done. Depending on the content of requirements.psd1, this can take a few minutes. Subsequent function executions will not block and updates will be performed in the background. 2025-03-03T21:42:45Z [Error] Executed 'Functions.TwelveMinuteTimerTrigger' (Failed, Id=58b46678-c1d2-4ca8-8083-fab1e657c608, Duration=95ms) After waiting a while for the download to finish, I get this error: [Error] ERROR: Error getting a list of user sessions: The term 'Get-AzWvdUserSession' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. The line "Get-AzWvdUserSession is not recognized" seems to indicate that the download of the Az modules has failed. Does anyone know what would cause the download to fail and how to fix it?
AVD on Azure Local Cost Help
We're beginning to run some of our environment on AVD hosted on Azure Local on prem. The solution is working very well for our needs. However, we're finding the costs to be prohibitively high for scaling to 100's of users with personal sessions. After some research the idea of hibernating VM's was suggested but it appears that is not an option on azure local based AVD deployments. What other ways do we have to shut down VM's when they're idle? We're hoping to not lose the users session state (Hibernate) but I'm running out of ideas to get that goal. Our users are logged in between 6-10 hours a day 5 days a week, so paying for constant run time on the VMs is a lot of cost that isn't required. Thanks for any feedback!duplicate fslogix profile issue
