LocalCache and TempState folders aren't properly cleaned up during sign out

• Updated: September 19, 2024
• Affected version(s): 2210 hotfix 4 (2.9.8884.27471)
• State: In Progress

As stated in the FAQ, FSLogix deletes the contents of specific UWP folders inside the user's profile container. We discovered that the LocalCache and TempState folders aren't deleting. Users reported seeing issues when migrating to Microsoft Teams from Classic Teams. The Teams icon is missing from the Start Menu, which can occur due to a stale cache in %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState.

Workaround

Create or update the redirections.xml to exclude the TempState folder.

<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState</Exclude>

Resolution

We plan to address this issue in a future release.

Enabled by default policies in the ADMX template can't be disabled using Group Policy

• Updated: February 13, 2024
• Affected version(s): 2210 hotfix 2 (2.9.8612.60056) and later
• State: In Progress

FSLogix has several settings which are Enabled by default. When the ADMX templates were updated in the last feature release, a checkbox was removed from all of these settings to leverage the default Enabled and Disabled boolean from the policy. When Disabled is selected from the Group Policy template, the setting is removed instead of setting the registry value to 0 (Disabled).

List of impacted settings:

• Apps
  • RoamRecycleBin
  • VHDCompactDisk
• Profiles
  • CleanOutNotifications
  • InstallAppxPackages
  • IsDynamic
  • OutlookCachedMode
• ODFC
  • IncludeOfficeActivation
  • IncludeOneDrive
  • IncludeOutlook
  • IncludeOutlookPersonalization
  • IncludeSharepoint
  • IncludeSkype
  • IsDynamic
  • OutlookCachedMode

Workaround

Use a manual configuration option.

Resolution

We plan to address this issue in a future release or we might release an updated ADMX template out of band of our normal product release.

Unexpected VHD disk compaction results

• Updated: March 31, 2023
• Affected version(s): 2210 (2.9.8361.52326) and later
• State: In Progress

Using ProfileType = 3 or VHDAccessMode = 1,2, or 3, differencing disks are used. This affects the VHD disk compaction process because the size of the differencing disk is used to evaluate the thresholds. Most often these differencing disks are small and never meet the thresholds.

Resolution

We plan to address this issue in a future release.

Microsoft Entra ID Authentication for applications

• Updated: May 14, 2023
• Affected version(s): 2210 (2.9.8361.52326)
• State: Fixed

Users might be required to authenticate to their applications (for example, Microsoft 365 apps, Teams (work or school), OneDrive, etc.) at every sign-in. The repeated authentication prompts are due to the virtual machines Microsoft Entra join device state. We recommend virtual machines are Microsoft Entra joined or Hybrid Microsoft Entra joined for the best user experience.

Virtual machines, which are Microsoft Entra joined or Hybrid Microsoft Entra joined create the user's primary refresh token (PRT) at sign-in. Primary refresh tokens created at sign-in are used to authenticate to Microsoft Entra ID based applications. Standard Domain Joined (DJ) virtual machines don't create a PRT at sign-in, instead rely on the Microsoft Entra ID plugin.

Microsoft Entra ID broker directories and apps

Starting in FSLogix 2210 (2.9.8361.52326) and later versions, all content stored in following locations is no longer roamed as part of the user profile.

• %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy
• %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy
• %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\TokenBroker

Resolution

Install the latest FSLogix version. Configure RoamIdentity by setting the registry value to 1 or enabling via Group Policy.

Black screen at sign-in or sihost.exe application hanging

• Updated: March 2, 2023
• Affected version(s): 2210 (2.9.8361.52326)
• State: Fixed

With the RoamRecycleBin setting enabled (enabled by default) and during the sign-in process, some users might experience a black screen instead of displaying the desktop. The black screen occurs when we configure the initial virtualization of the recycle bin. During the sign-in process, the recycle bin isn't empty on the virtual machine and our process attempts to empty it for all users.

Resolution

Install the latest FSLogix version.

Service Crash: User receives default or temporary profile (profile fails to load)

• Updated: March 2, 2023
• Affected version(s): 2210 (2.9.8361.52326)
• Status: Fixed

With the InstallAppxPackages setting enabled (enabled by default) and during the sign-in process, some users might receive a default or temporary profile as a result of the user's profile container failing to attach. The container failure occurs as a result of the frxsvc.exe crashing during sign-in.

Resolution

Install the latest FSLogix version.

ODFC disk compaction fails with RoamSearch enabled

• Updated: March 2, 2023
• Affected version(s): 2210 (2.9.8361.52326)
• Status: Fixed

In some cases where RoamSearch and VHDCompactDisk¹ are enabled, disk compaction fails with the following error:

"[ERROR:00000000] Exception thrown during getSupportedSize, exception: D:\a\_work\1\s\packages\Microsoft.Windows.Wil.Internal.0.2.103\inc\wil\opensource\wil\result_macros.h(6159 )\frxsvc.exe!00007FF63B53EC53: (caller: 00007FF63B53FB0D) Exception(2) tid(39c) 800401F0 CoInitialize has not been called."

The result is the frxsvc.exe service crashes and the operation fails to succeed.

^{1 VHDCompactDisk is enabled by default.}

Resolution

Install the latest FSLogix version.
