Roaming appdata using Fslogix
Hi, We are packaging applications to MSIX and deploying them in our Azure Virtual Desktop environment where we are using Fslogix for user profile roaming. From version 2210 (2.9.8361.52326) of Fslogix, the folders below are no longer being roamed: AppData\Local\Packages\*\AC AppData\Local\Packages\*\SystemAppData AppData\Local\Packages\*\LocalCache AppData\Local\Packages\*\TempState AppData\Local\Packages\*\AppData (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/troubleshooting-appx-issues) Many of our apps are saving user preferences and settings to these folders. The applications are third party made apps that we do not have the code for. This is causing issues for us as the user preferences/settings are not maintained after the logoff process. I have looked for ways around this, but have not been able to find any solutions so far. Has anyone else encountered this issue or does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Problem transferring my Word shortcuts to clean local installs of Word using custom .dotm -> AppData
Here are my circumstances: University campus where I am frequently changing between PCs, with the following properties Each PC I access has a shared intranet e.g., C:\Users\[myName] and my OneDrive Each PC has a local clean install of Word, no syncing Word setup files like C:\Users\[myName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates C:\Users\[myName]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office However, I can freely modify these to suit my needs at a given PC and my changes will stay semi-permanently Here is what I am trying to achieve: a quick way to transfer my Word shortcuts to each fresh PC I use. These shortcuts pertain to my own custom styles in a custom Word Template, and shortcuts for more general word functions. I understand that shortcuts live in documents, and that the default shortcuts live in Normal.dotm. So my idea was the following: Make my own PerfectSetup.dotm file and store it on my OneDrive This will include all my preferred keyboard shortcuts. I'll take care to assign them to this document, and not the local Normal.dotm for the PC I happen to be on Every time I use a new PC, I will drag my PerfectSetup.dotm to C:\Users\[myName] \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, delete the Normal.dotm and rename my file to Normal.dotm I've tried this and it hasn't worked. I need someone who knows more about the internal workings of Word to tell me what it is I am likely doing wrong. I have a theory that maybe all the shortcuts are hard linked to the name of my template file, PerfectSetup.dotm, so when I changed the name I essentially deleted all the shortcuts therein. But this is very time consuming to test so if you can suggest your own solution to what I am trying to achieve (a quick way to transfer my Word shortcuts to every fresh local install of Word) I would much appreciate it.
