No Applications listed when using Start Menu as a source for AVD

Question

Hi All,

I have an issue on a newly created Host Pool that is Hybrid joined.

It deploys without a problem and there are no errors. It shows up as compliant in Intune and all good in Entra. Applications have been pushed to the AVDs via intune successfully, and the AVDs have Office 365 prebuilt on them as they are from the Microsoft Image Library.

When trying to create an application group there is nothing showing up in the list when using Start Menu as a source. I have another set of AVDs that are in another hostgroup which are only Entra joined, and they show all the applications in the list when creating application groups for that hostgroup.

Any ideas what could be the issue here ?

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Two things you can check:

• Ensure that the applications are installed in a location accessible to all users. Sometimes, applications installed for a specific user might not be visible to others.
• You can use PowerShell to list all installed applications on the AVDs. This can help you verify if the applications are indeed installed but not showing up in the Start Menu.

This has been resolved now. We deleted the whole host group and vms and created a new one from scratch and it is now all working
