MSIX Apps Not Showing the Windows 11 Start Menu
We are seeing a strange issue in our AVD Dev build. We followed all guidelines on packaging up MSIX apps and can attach them via the Azure portal, but these apps are not showing in the start menu. And if we switch the user to use published apps, when you click on the icon, it opens file explorer. The permissions on our azure storage account share is correct wo we are stumped. We have a ticket open with MSFT but thought I'd see if anyone has seen/corrected this.WVD Load Balancing Question
We have deployed what would be our small production shared desktop VMS. There are three (-0, -1, -2). We created an image from our dev deployment and deployed to our prod with some minor issues. After that was resolved, we now see all 3 hosts ready to take connections. However, we see that only -0 and -2 are taking connections and -1 is sitting there lonely. I probably have to increase our test group but what should the load balancing behavior be? We are set to "Breadth-First" so I would suspect that 3 sessions be load balanced across 3 servers. Instead we we see 2 on one, 1 on the another, and then one just sitting there empty. All 3 are set to allow new sessions. Is this normal?Re: Default apps in WVD
DavidBelanger Essentially correct. We want the server apps to be associated with the files in user's FSLogix profile. So if a user has a pdf file in OneDrive or in their documents folder, it should associate with Reader. So far we have tried an associations xml file via GPO as well as some registry settings. We'd like chrome for browser, outlook for mail, word for doc and docx, etc. Every session all apps return to Windows 10 default. So for instance, if we click a URL it will open in edge, a mailto: within outlook will prompt which app to open with and will always default to the windows mail client. Even if the user selects outlook and check to remember this app, if they log off and back in, that gets reset. We are forcing users to one drive and opening files like PDFs and .docs seem to work ok but PDF will always prompt the user to choose a default application for PDFs. It's like it doesn't honor the GPO or registry and will always default to using Windows 10 default apps. We are using remote apps only and the profiles are handled with FSLogix containers.Re: Can Publish Snipping Tool as a Remote App but it doesn't launch
Christian_Montoya it was very weird with this one. I had to log into the web browser and launch the app and then it launched using the RD app for windows. As far as Team, looks like the VDI install is out but it ain't perfect. We have to run a logon script to get it to open at user logon when using published apps.Default apps in WVD
We are dealing with an issue with WVD Remote Apps where we cannot set or maintain default apps for users. For instance, we want the default browser to be Chrome, mail to be OutLook, .doc files to open in Word, PDFs to open in Reader and the settings are not sticking. We've tried to apply GPO using the app associations .xml file and it doesn't work. We even went as far as writing policy to modify registry for all app extensions and that doesn't work. NOTE: we are using only remote apps and not a full desktop. This is really the last thing that we can't get to work and are stumped. Any help would be appreciated and would like to know if others have experienced this. A little more about the setup. We have deployed 2 session hosts with FSLogix containers to host our profiles on a file share.Re: Only allow browser access
evasse We may want to have users to not have the capacity to use the Remote Desktop application on iphone, android, PC, Mac, etc to connect to the service but only allow access to the apps via a web browser. This would be for a small case where we wouldn't want to allow the configuration to be set onCan Publish Snipping Tool as a Remote App but it doesn't launch
I'm working through a strange issue. I've used the Web-ux to deploy a start menu app, in this case Snipping Tool, and it shows as an available app. When I try to open it, I get the attached error. I have set a regkey to disable the allowed apps list. I've published everything else via powershell and it's fine but using the web UI or powershell to add it as an available app simply won't load. Now, if I get tricky and go to word or something, File > Open and then migrating to snipping tool in system32 directory, right clicking it and opening it from there, it works. Just won't open using the WVD windows app. Now here is another weird thing, I can launch it using the web interface just fine and then it works in the RD app consistently going forward. Also, how the heck can we publish Teams?
