Cannot read registry key VHDLocations

When I try to load the settings from the ConfigurationTool, I get the error message "Some configuration settings could not be loaded". In the log this error appears "Cannot read registry key: SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\VHDLocations (Data with this type is not supported.)". I am doing the configuration through group policies.
When I set the path manually, the type in the registry is "REG_MULTI_SZ", after a GPO update it is "REG_SZ".

    Hi,

    thanks for the answer!

    1. we use the latest version: 2.9.7654.46150 with the newest ADMX GPO files
    2. already latest version
    3. i have tested it on the same server as well as on other servers. I tested it with a domain admin and with a normal user. Attached are the permissions from the registry entry:

    The ConfigurationTool cannot load the VHDLocation even though it has been set by the GPO. When I open the ConfigurationTool, I get the error message that some configurations could not be loaded. If I set the path manually in the ConfigurationTool, the registry type changes to "REG_MULTI_SZ". After that the ConfigurationTool can retrieve the settings without any problems.
    If I execute a gpupdate, the registry type changes again immediately to "REG_SZ". After that the ConfigurationTool can not load the settings again. Here the difference between manual and settings by GPO

    With GPO (After gpupdate):

    Change manually:

    I also tested it manually, if I change the registry type manually to "REG-SZ", I get the error message directly.

    HI

    When I set the path manually, the type in the registry is "REG_MULTI_SZ", after a GPO update it is "REG_SZ".
    I can reproduce this symptom, so it seems by design. but I can log in Microsoft RD session host (no Citrix session host) w2019 with Fslogix profile.

    Is there something new on this issue? We set our path also over GPO and running into the same situation. The path cannot be read by ConfigurationTool
