Citrix Browser Content Redirection does not work with CWAL2311. Browser showes only a blank page with "Redireting ...". Revert to CWAL2309, BCR works without issues.
Checked with several ubuntu OS editions. But only with CWAL2309 and lower editions, BCR works.

I can't confirm this behaviour. We published MSAccess 2019 on Server 2019 with CVAD 2203 CU3. Closing MSAccess, the process has gone and after 4 minutes (we've enabled application lingering) the account is cleanly logged off.

After last Update to 2203 LTSR CU3 Youtube videos with logged in account works with BCR.

Wildcards like old_logs_*txt are not permitted. In our case with Teams we remove them on logon of the users
remove-item $env:appdata\Microsoft\Teams\old_logs_*.txt -force -
Make text bigger under ease of access in settings was not saved to new session for apps like Office or Chrome. Users have to change the text size on every new logon.
The size on windows itself is stored, so the font on desktop and startmenu is bigger, but in for example Word or Excel, the users have to go back to settings, set a bigger text size
to make it work to all applications.
This was reported since a long time. So it is no issue with a specific CVAD or MS server edition.We faces this issue with every MS Server edition from 2016, 2019 to 2022. Also with CVAD 1912 until new 2203 LTSR and Citrix UPM and FSLogix.
Is there a way to make this setting saved for new session logon ?

Seems that this GPO setting does not exists anymore with newer versions:
This one has to be enabled to make it work:
Also you have to set access mode to 3:
To verify your setting, here are the regkeys set via GPO:
And at least we have to remove the whole regkey of the users once:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook
After that, Outlook can be opened in various Citrix sessions multiple.
Hope it helps.

Jeff, thank you so much. In this case there are several files needed to be in the profile and not excluded in the top level folder. Can files also included ? I've found only folder settings in redrictions.xml
-
Is there any way to redirect folders with wildcard characters like this:
<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\MyApp\Cache*</Exclude>
When I use * as above, FSLogix does not work. Also I didn't find any solution anywhere.
-
Thinking I've found the issue. When "Include Outlook peronaltization data in container" is enabled, multisession does not work anymore.
Disabling the setting, removing VHDX to recreate a new one and remove the registry-hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook
multisession works again.

It might be tab unloading. They could be shutting down the html5 tab processes.
Seems that it relates only newer Opera versions. I will check this out. Thank you for the hint.

Thank you Carl for your fast response. Normal RDSH/VDI timeouts are set to 8h logoff inactive sessions. I've checked it out with MS Edge. No timeout appears. Using Opera and Firefox,
sessions going to disconnected after around 1,5h inactive state.
Seems to be a browser issue/feature.
-
Is there an seperate option of disconnect timeout in HTML5 browser client insteat of StoreFront timeout settings ?
User reporting, that their sessions opened via HTML5 client were disconnected after 1,5h of inacitivity.

Strange - try removing the task completely and check if all WSUS patches are installed. We have had issues (with 2019) where no WSUS patches were installed and logging off hasn't worked (on published desktops). Additional please check UPM logs under C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\ .

Just installed fresh Windows 2022 fully patched with VDA version = 2203LTSRCU2 . Issue is user closes the application (for e.g. Notepad), the app gets closed fine on user screen. But user session does not get logged off completely on Server. Also it shows up on "Connection Center" as well on user side. Have not checked anything on "Director" side yet as rest of the Citrix infra is on 1912CU5. I can see following items running under username on Windows 2022 server:
The Citrix server is optimzed by using Citrix Optimizer for default template of 2022
Looking for any advise. I can't see task scheduler running:
\Microsoft\Windows\International\Synchronize Language Settings
Thanks
Just to confirm, is it a published desktop or an published application ? You said, user closes notepad and wasn't logged off. So I think you mean an published application.
In this case, did you configure application lingering ?

Set logon-account .\Guest via GPO works for us. Excluded the golden master imager ?
-
No solution yet. Citrix dropped the case and says it is an issue by MS. MS says it's an feature of them and will not be disabled.
So Server 2022 is no option for us. Hoping Server 2019 will not be affected in future updates.

Upgrading from WS2019 to WS2022 we have found the same thing, Windows DPI scaling no longer works on our HP Linux thin clients on 2203 CU2. For now we have found that enabling the "Enable DPI matching" option in Citrix Workspace on our ThinPro machines follows the client system, so after setting the scaling to 125%, 150% etc. on the Linux thin client, when launching the VDA it now scales to the same percentage
Not ideal as its now on a per machine level instead of per user, but a temporary solution nonetheless until Citrix fixes this properly and hooks in correctly to however WS2022 is now doing this
Thanks for sharing this workaround. This is not an real option for us, because we have shared workplaces. But if there were an option for us - how did you configure "Enable DPI matching" in the Linux CWA ?

Here the answer from Microsoft (issue can't be resolved - looking forward to next server edition):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Windows Server 2022 ignores the set DPI's because the function of changing from the scaling factor for the RDP session is no longer supported on Windows Server 2022.
The detailed evaluation that can be shared with your client:
The reason for the different behavior in Server OS 2019 and 2022 is that different technologies were used. In Server OS 2019, icardd was used.
Icardd.dll (vdtw30.dll legacy) - Graphics redirection driver for Terminal Sever based session.
However, in 2022, icardd was no longer used and IDD was used - Indirect display driver.
The indirect display driver (IDD) model provides a simple user mode driver model to support monitors that are not connected to traditional GPU display outputs. An example is a dongle connected via USB to a normal (VGA, VGA, HDMI, DP, etc.) connected PC.
IDD implementation
An IDD is the UMDF Driver driver for the device provided by third-party vendors. It is developed using the functions made available by the Iddcx.h header (Indirect Display Driver Class eXtension) to interface with the Windows graphics subsystems in the following ways:
· -Creating the graphics card adapter that represents the indirect display device.
· -Reporting monitors that are connected and disconnected from the system
· -Providing descriptions of the connected monitors
· -Providing available display modes
· -Support other display features, such as hardware mouse cursors, gamma, I2C communication, and protected content
· -Process desktop images displayed on the monitor
Since an IDD is a UMDF driver, it is also responsible for implementing all UMDF functions Overview of UMDF - such as device communication, power management, plug and play, and so on.
The IDD is executed in Session Zero without any components running in the user session. Therefore, any driver instability does not affect the stability of the system as a whole.
The following diagram provides an architecture-based overview.

After it was forwarded and discussed internally by Dev Teams, the Microsoft was added docs under:
And yes, that's why it doesn't work with Dual screen!
As a last attempt to fix the issue try to add this Regkey in:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm
"OverlayTestMode"=dword:00000005

We've opened a case @Citrix - but they told me to open a case @MS. They told me it's best practise and a feature in the last WSUS patches. If we do not want it, we have to open a case @Citrix again.
I don't like ping/pong playing ?
-
Thank you Carl, good idea. I will give it a try if there is no possibility like in O365 FSlogix, where I can define the numbers of writeable vhdx files.
-
Is there a way to use FSLogix on two different VDIs with the same user on both with read/write access ? I've found only this article:
But I don't want to use fslogix and citrix upm together.
FSLogix seems to do this only with one R/W and all other ones with R/O.

I know this is an older post but we are always experiencing this same behavior with HP T530's running on ThinOS 7.2. We just moved them to 1912 LTSR servers and it all started happening. I just upgraded to 2203 LTSR and we are still getting this issue. It seems to be only one of the sites that it's happening to and only the HP T530s. We have IGEL UD3s at this location that are not experiencing this behavior. I have tried turning off Adaptive Transport and still same thing. Did you do anything else besides just upgrading to 2203?
We still do not have any ghostsession or random disconnections since upgrade to 2203 - also CU1 and CU2 does not bring back the issue. Our HP ProDesk 400 (G3, G4 and G6) are on IGEL OS 11.08.235 but also with lower OS editions we haven't faced this issue again. Also we have Adaptive Transport enabled a long time ago without issues. Sorry that I can't help on this.

Hello Matthias,
no sorry, they have closed the case, 'coz they said it has something to do with a third party tool on our servers ?
Do you have same issue ?
Best regards
Jens
Instance limitations on published applications with HTML5 browser
in Receiver for HTML5 2.x
Posted
Opening several published applications with HTML5 client, only one instance/tab is opened.
So any new application launched from workspace closes the first pulished app.
For example, I open MS Access which launches in a new browser tab. Open MS Excel, the MS Access tab is closed/overwritten by MS Excel.
I've found this very old article:
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223569
This explains my issue. But checked out MS Edge / Chrome / Firefox. All of them have the same issue.
Is this an missconfiguration in the HTML5 configs on the SF server ?
