Having multiple problems using AVD published applications
I have a customer which is experiencing multiple issue working with AVD through the Remote Desktop Client. These issues have been reported for a few months and we have looked into them. Some got sort...
Hi Paul,
I first encountered the issue you are describing with Excel in early 2021 for a customer. After a while I finally found a solution that has saved us a ton of trouble over the last years for multiple applications that are either behaving really wierd with window popping/flipping or small interactive windows hiding behind other windows etc.
When a user logs on to AVD they will all have these 2 Values in the Regedit Hive.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Dword: "ForegroundLockTimeout"
Default Value = 200000 (30d40 hex)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Dword: "ForegroundFlashCount"
Default value = 3 to 7
I solved the issue by making a user GPO that sets the value for both these to 0.
This will force your active application/window to always be "on top". Haven't had Excel flipping issues for a customer since this was implemented.
Really hope this can help!

FBacke Hi,
Thnx for the registry settings. I am leaving the company and will be transfering this problem to a coworker. I have added these settings and the link to the post to our problem ticket.
The timing of your post is perfect, seeing i am leaving. The Microsoft case reached multiple deadends and customer was in the process of accepting the issues. :S
If I hear that it works than i will post it here.
