We are using FSlogix profile container in our VDI environment, which is non-persistent, and we have an issue where we cannot add/provision Microsoft store applications for users.
We we received the guidance below, but I am wondering if this sounds right, since FSlogix isn't really a roaming profile. Has anyone else had to make these changes in order to get MS store apps to work while using FSlogix?
Don`t you think it would better to use the built in FSLogix exclude/include feature (redirections.xml) and exclude the "%localappdata%\packages" folder
The "%localappdata%\packages" will then be redirected to the "local_<username>" folder, and not copied to the profile disk when logging off.
Regards
Fredrik

I've opened a support ticket with MS on this issue.
Calculator, Photos, OneNote for Windows 10. All disappearing over time. This is not acceptable.

I'm experiencing odd issues with getting UWP apps to persist as well, so tracking this thread :-)

We have the same issue so we are going to try excluding the packages folder in the XML
I tried deleting the folder before I logged out manually but a few files were in use but when I logged in things seemed better so going to just exclude them for the time being to see if it helps out situation.
I am in a support call with MS on this but not yet a real solution...
I deployed the apps through powershell/dism (download offline app from business store) with add-appxprovisionedpackage.
It appears in the startmenu for the user, but is not starting.
I tried one without any dependencies so that should not be an issue...
I excluded the packages folder in the xml and I am testing that now. So far it fixed my issue but haven't rolled this out company wide yet.

Did this work for you? I would be interested in the steps you took if so.
Yes and no. It's a long story.
Short version:
Through DISM provisioning on the golden image I managed to get (some) apps working. A few do not work. I have to make a new ticket for that.
However. With users where the profile is 'corrupted' (meaning: apps do not work at the moment) I do not yet have a solution to make it work on the new image.
New users (or profile resetted) get the apps and as far as I can test they keep working. Sometimes however they seem to disappear from the Start Menu.
MS really has to fix this properly. With Windows 7 I could do Windows Updates, update some applications and roll out a new VDI. From Windows 10 this has become a fulltime job with a lot of hurdles. I don't know if they do it deliberately to push us to WVD (they were very helpful with my support ticket) but it's really frustrating...
