WVD Issue -Explorer Constantly Crashing and Restarting
Mark Aldridge Hi Mark, I'm seeing the same issue occur every now and then. It's caused by the Windows Search service. If you restart this service the issue stops (you don't need to restart the host and you can restart the service with everyone else logged on).
I've had to created a scheduled task to restart this service at logon. Far from ideal though. I assume it's yet another bug in Win10 2004...
On top of a major bug in FSLogix (which breaks OneDrive Files on-Demand) I'm getting pretty fed up with Microsoft right now.
tilikumtim What is the OneDrive issue you are experiencing? We are running into the issue in this discussion but also utilise OneDrive Files On Demand and have issues with things disappearing between WVD and local machines. Just wondered if this was the same issue?
I'm applying the service restart to my environment as we were first impacted by the App Readiness bug and then this issue. I've spent the last 3 days working on getting WVD stable again and 2 days last week so WVD is proving to be a major headache we can do without.
Lee_E The OneDrive issue was where an error would state 'OneDrive cannot connect to Windows'. The error has 2 options 'Try again' (which does nothing) and 'Download files' (which downloads everything in OneDrive). If you then go into OneDrive settings, the Files on demand option would be missing.
I logged the issue with Microsoft and they provided me with a hotfix for FSlogix which seemed to fix the problem. It's worth noting there is also a public preview build (2009) for FSlogix, so you might want to try that (otherwise contact MS to get the hotfix).
tilikumtim, we're not seeing that issue thankfully. I was passed the FSLogix preview yesterday by MS so it will be good to see what happens now I've applied that.
tilikumtim We had a very similar issue. When using both the profile container and the office container, files on demand was not available as an option. When we disabled the o365 container it all worked correctly.
Dale HayterThat's interesting you should mention that, as I've had another intermittent issue with FSlogix container disks not detaching when users sign out (profiles are stored in Azure Files share, standard tier). I think Office containers are the cause of that, as so far I've not had the issue occur when disabling them. It's a shame Microsoft only mentioned it's best practice to disable Office containers a few months after WVD went GA (but they don't specifically state why...), as I think they are the cause of quite a few issues.
tilikumtim Indeed. Love it how they have a box below recommending not to use in WVD. Shame as our customer quite liked to seperate out the OST file to separate storage
