Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Can you share more details on this issue to assist you better.Which OS version is used?
Single session / Multi-Session?
Is the use a local admin that performs the install?
Is FSlogix used?
Does this also happen on a standalone VM that is not part of AVD?Also, please check this blog post if that can help solving your issue.

Shawn 1 Reputation point2021-11-02T18:48:20.447+00:00 I checked the blogpost you link to, and I didn't find anything that helped me resolve my issue (Same as above). We're attempting to use Ubuntu or Debian in our Azure VDI/WSL hosts. They are using FSLogix for profile redirection, do you have any information on compatibility issues between WSL and FSLogix?
Thank you,
Shawn
