This release can be installed over all existing versions of FSLogix or you can perform a fresh install without a pre-existing FSLogix version.

Here's what's new in this release:

• Fixed issue where the FSLogix Profile Service would crash if it was unable to communicate with the FSLogix Cloud Cache Service.
• The OfficeFileCache folder located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache is now machine specific and encrypted so we now exclude it from FSLogix containers. Office files located outside this folder are not impacted by this update.
• Windows Server 2019 version 1809, and newer versions of Windows Server, natively support per-user search indexes and we recommend you leverage that native search index capability. FSLogix Search Indexing is no longer available on those versions of Windows Server.
• Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session and Windows 11 Enterprise Multi-session natively support per-user search indexes and FSLogix Search Indexing is no longer available on those operating systems.
• FSLogix now correctly handles cases where the Windows Profile Service refCount registry value is set to an unexpected value.
• Over 30 accessibility related updates have been made to the FSLogix installer and App Rules Editor.
• A Windows event now records when a machine locks a container disk with a message that looks like "This machine '[HOSTNAME]' is using [USERNAME]'s (SID=[USER SID]) profile disk. VHD(x): [FILENAME]."
• Resolved an issue where the DeleteLocalProfileWhenVHDShouldApply registry setting was sometimes ignored.
• Fixed an issue where active user session settings where not retained if the FSLogix service was restarted. This was causing some logoffs to fail.
• FSLogix will no longer attempt to reattach a container disk when the user session is locked.
• Fixed an issue that caused the FSLogix service to crash when reattaching container disks.
• Fixed a Cloud Cache issue that caused IO failures if the session host's storage blocksize was smaller than a cloud provider's. For optimal performance, we recommend the session host disk hosting the CCD proxy directory has a physical block size greater than or equal to the CCD storage provider with the largest blocksize size.
• Fixed a Cloud Cache issue where a timed out read request (network outage, storage outage, etc.) was not handled properly and would eventually fail.
• Reduced the chance for a Cloud Cache container disk corruption if a provider is experiencing connection issues.
• Resolved an issue where temporary rule files were not deleted if rule compilation failed.
• Previously, the Application masking folder was only created for the user who ran the installer. With this update, the rules folder is created when the Rules editor is launched.
• Resolved an interoperability issue with large OneDrive file downloads that was causing some operations to fail.
• Fixed an issue where per-user and per-group settings did not apply if the Profile or ODFC container was not enabled for all users.
• Resolved an issue where the Office container session configuration was not cleaned up if a profile fails to load.
• Fixed an issue where HKCU App Masking rules leveraging wildcards would fail to apply.
• Fixed an issue where FSLogix did not properly handle logoff events if Profile or ODFC containers were disabled during the session or per-user/per-group filters were applied mid-session that excluded the user from the feature. Now FSLogix logoff related events will always occur if FSLogix loaded a container for the user.
• Fixed an issue that caused some sessions configured with an ODFC container to fail to login.
•  Resolved an issue where the rule editor would crash if there were no assignments configured.
