Hey Everyone,

We have a customer that is using Azure Virtual Desktop. They use in total 3 VM's running Windows (Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session). Since recently they are complaining about not being able to navigate back and forth in the File Explorer. This option is not greyed out neither they get a error. Simply nothing happens... Sometimes the search bar is not even working, users cannot click on it. If you use 'Tab' on your keyboard then it works.

I've tested this with a brand new user account and for the first time I logged in e.g. vm1. On this account and on the vm it works fine with the navigation pane of the File Explorer. When, I log in to vm2 and test it. The navigation pane doesn't work anymore. When, I go back to vm1 then it works again...

They are using FSLogix profiles.

If there is more info needed, please let me know!

    Ok I have the fix.

    Delete the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\Resources.pri

    Josh, any context on this fix? Does the problem return? Does it have to be removed from every user profile? What does this file do? We don’t use one drive and the file is not there for folks having the issue.

    We are having the same issue. Happens with random users and random session host. Especially when users are using multiple screens.
