techtest I have it working on a Zebra TC57. Are you configuring the virtual home button using the app configuration policy for Managed Home Screen, or from the Device Restrictions profile?

eglockling Thanks for the reply. I actually just figured out the issue yesterday. The Virtual Home Button doesn't work if you have 'Notification Windows' set to Disabled in the Device Configuration Profile. Once I set that back to Not Configured, it began working without issue for both the Floating and Swipe-up Virtual Home Button.

I had an open ticket with Microsoft so I notified them as well. I'm hoping they acknowledge it as a bug vs intended design, but we will see.
