Environment variables in MSIX package wont be used by AVD session host
Hi, We've been struggling with environment variables in MSIX packages. The package is created with Microsoft's MSIX Packaging Tool and a script was used under capture. Script is adding environment variables as we can see in the virtual registry after the package has been created. Problem is that session host will not use these environment variable keys. The package works, but there's a SSO feature which doesn't work because of the environment variables. If we add them manually on the session host the SSO feature works fine. We have tried the PSF tool using the fix there for environment variables, but once we change the AppxManifest.xml to point to PsfLauncher32.exe it gives the following error on the session host: 16.03.23 15:54:29 Error 403 avd-mgmt-7 error 0x80080207: Failure to get staging session for: \\?\Volume{9dc101d8-0130-4a01-xxxx-a81e0088b390}\applications\xxxx__trsqtdqqj719r. 16.03.23 15:54:29 Error 481 avd-mgmt-7 error 0x80080207: Opening the loose file package from location xxxx__trsqtdqqj719r failed. Any suggestions on what we can try?
Windows 11 MultiSession built in appx apps missing from first logon
Hi we have a strange issue with Windows 11 multisession. The environment consists of 22h2 and fslogix and Citrix. We build our images from code each time so they are consistent and build images for windows 10 and 11 from the same core code just with a few changes for windows 11 specific items. Fslogix - 2.9.8612.60056 We use nonpersistent machines and issue we are having with windows 11 which we do not see with windows 10 is that if a user profile exists and a machine is created fresh the first time a user logs on their default built in apps like notepad, paint etc are missing from apps and cannot even be searched. If they log out and back on the apps then show up as new apps. If the profile is new the apps are already there without the new app notification, however once their profile is created if they then log on to another fresh machine created the apps are missing again until the second login to the same machine. we don’t have this issue with windows 10 and are stuck with what could be causing the problem. has anyone experienced anything similar with windows 11 multisession?Announcing FSLogix release changes and Windows multi-session updates in Azure Marketplace

Visual Studio offers the Windows developers an integrated workflow to easily create MSIX packages from within their development environment. But creating an App Attach ready app is a long process, and it is even more complicated to further publish it to AVD. Recommendation: To enable developers to create and test AVD App Attach ready apps, and publish from within their Visual Studio development environment.
