default new profile from remote app vs default desktop/differences
We are seeing new windows profiles created when logging on to azure remote app not allowing .net application to launch Edge via Process.Start("microsoft-edge:"+link . (error seen is: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation) It's an application that we have been using for several years without issues (.net framework), but seems something with the default profile that is being created when logging on to remote apps has changed perhaps (first brought to our attention in February)? if we log on to the default desktop, the profile appears to be updated, then we can use the application successfully to launch edge.
It seems something isn't created in the initial default profile using remote app but I cannot find the difference. What would be different in the creation of a profile from a remote app vs. the default desktop? I can also rdp to the host vm, creating a new profile (all of these with the same userid) and that works fine and then the remote app will also work.
- HI.. yes there are differences when starting a desktop or published app.. example: onedrive > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/onedrive-remoteapp#configure-onedrive-to-launch-with-a-remoteapp
you need to add a regkey that onedrive is starting in background...
Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Type: REG_SZ
Name: OneDrive
Data: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" /background
maybe this helps: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127874/published-application-fails-to-launch-outside-of-desktop-session- thanks for these suggestions - I did do some testing with the onedrive option previously as ut as a difference noted, but so far that hasn't resolved the issue. The citrix link workaround suggestions might help us out - so investigating that ide. Will update here when I know more. Appreciate the response!!
