Microsoft(Azure) Virtual Desktop Optimization Tool now available
Hi. Is there a way to perform a process to reverse the optimization process on a WVD host?
Unfortunately, not having the Windows Store apps has caused usability issues for a deployment. The users actually need Windows Calculator and the Windows Media player as an example.
Attempts for the user to reinstall the Windows Store app ends in unusual behavior where if the user installs Calculator as an example, it is not available for their current session. Once they logoff and logon again, the Store apps are no longer available and even a taskbar pin to the app no longer works. I assume this may be some Local policy or similar, but not sure where to start to check.
My initial thoughts were to reverse the entire process but not sure that is even possible?
Open to recommendations.
Thanks
Richard
I hope this can help you a bit.
So I have been using this optimization Tool since it came out both for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. I have tried reverting once but gave up because many things were a mess. So I created my session host again (It was not a big deal since I'm using DevOps Automation.) and excluded the things in the optimization script I still needed.
Regarding the Windows Store app, if you are using FSLogix, the apps won't be there after the users log off and on again. Then they have to download it again. This is FSLogix specific issue.
