Azure Virtual Desktop - Black Screens on logins - What we've tried so far
Thanks for the reply dit-chris and mgorton but I was not being able to test this because today we find out that Microsoft silently pushed out more information for a possible SSO issue fix. See: https://support.microsoft.com/topic/kb5048864-avd-users-might-experience-extended-time-on-a-black-screen-during-logon-and-sso-failures-7c1bbe77-ab9c-4c9e-80b8-6d6a9a5c8c20?preview=true
They also changed it now to resolved and mention that this is the resolution on this page... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22H2#avd-users-might-experience-extended-black-screen-during-logon-and-sso-failures
So basically they want us to create a new golden image and slipstream the preview patch https://support.microsoft.com/topic/f307a4b0-f62d-4c28-9062-44207aea55c3 and then deploy new AVD servers.
We are now testing option 1 on our test server. Please let me know if this is working for you guys?
Option 1: Re-image the affected device
Follow these steps to create a new https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image by using the latest "Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, Version 22H2" gallery image from the Azure Marketplace:
- Go to the https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/. In the Search Marketplace search bar, type Microsoft Windows 10.
- On the Microsoft Windows 10 page, click Get It Now.
- Sign-in once you are prompted to enter your email address.
- On the Create this app in Azure page, select Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, version 22H2 from the Software plan drop-down list.
- After selecting the image, click Create to create a new virtual machine.
- Follow these steps on the https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image page:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image#create-an-image-from-an-azure-vm to create the custom image.
- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image#customize-your-vm and then install the October 24, 2024 Windows Update (https://support.microsoft.com/topic/f307a4b0-f62d-4c28-9062-44207aea55c3).
- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image#take-the-final-snapshot
- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image#run-sysprep
- https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-golden-image#capture-the-vm
- You can now reimage your affected AVD device by using the newly created custom image from Step 6.
NOTE If you want an image that includes the fix https://support.microsoft.com/topic/f307a4b0-f62d-4c28-9062-44207aea55c3 for this issue, you will have to wait until November 19, 2024 to reimage your device (to avoid step 6).

we skipped all patches since August, and we are now testing November Patch which looks go so far. November 12, 2024—KB5046613 (OS Builds 19044.5131 and 19045.5131)

Same with us, but we are running VMWare Horizon with FSLogix. Had black screens starting with September CU, rolled back to August CU and have been fine since then. Started testing the November CU yesterday. Have not had any black screens at logon yet. Will be doing some more testing, and then updating a small number of VDI computers and letting them run for a while before updating all machines. Do not want to have to roll them all back again.

Getting black screens after applying the November patch still. Looks like its still an issue.
