Hi
we have a strange issue with Windows 11 multisession. The environment consists of 22h2 and fslogix and Citrix. We build our images from code each time so they are consistent and build images for windows 10 and 11 from the same core code just with a few changes for windows 11 specific items.
We use nonpersistent machines and issue we are having with windows 11 which we do not see with windows 10 is that if a user profile exists and a machine is created fresh the first time a user logs on their default built in apps like notepad, paint etc are missing from apps and cannot even be searched. If they log out and back on the apps then show up as new apps. If the profile is new the apps are already there without the new app notification, however once their profile is created if they then log on to another fresh machine created the apps are missing again until the second login to the same machine.
we don’t have this issue with windows 10 and are stuck with what could be causing the problem. has anyone experienced anything similar with windows 11 multisession?

Just noticed the same thing. Did you find a solution for this?
Yes it was down to a cis hardening setting. Are you using cis hardening on your image ?
Sure was this one, kinda obvious when you think about it haha but since there are a ton of cis settings it took some time to find it !!
18.9.4.2 - Ensure 'Prevent non-admin users from installing packagedWindows apps' is set to 'Enabled'
Will check this tomorrow. Thanks Steve 👍
We use the standard marketplace multisession image but add our own hardening via Intune/DSC.
can you share with me which setting caused this issue for you?
