This is a workaround not a solution. This is happening to everyone every time regardless of if they had changed to a dock with monitors vs just a single monitor the whole time.

By default, this setting is set to "Not Configured" which will enforce the setting. Some applications do not support these graphics features, causing issues with the way the application/page is loaded through a PSM session with RemoteApp.

- Thanks that does seem to fix the issue but unfortunately breaks some other functions but this might be the lesser evil for the time being. What version of AVD client are you currently using? I am going to look into if we updated out client some time in the last few weeks as that's typically the issue.
