General

After changes in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops architecture in version 2209, the default icons for Windows desktops and for applications deployed before this release have changed to generic PC desktop icons. This change is only applicable to desktops and applications that are pointing to the default icon. If you want to change icons back to the Windows application default icon, run the following script using the Remote PowerShell SDK:
Get-BrokerApplication -IconUid 1 | Set-BrokerApplication -IconUid 0. -

Citrix Hypervisor doesn’t support MCS full clone VMs with GFS2 SRs. [XSI-832]
-

When applications from Microsoft Office 365 build 16.0.7967 and later are published as applications from a Windows Server 2019 host, Office license activation fails. Citrix is working with Microsoft to address this Microsoft limitation. The supported workaround is to install Windows Server 2016 VDAs, which do not have the Web Authentication Manager component that is misbehaving. [LCM-7637]
-
Starting with VDA 2212, all the startup programs are launched in an HDX published application session. Signing out of an application might prevent a graceful logoff. If the issue persists,
- Disable all the startup programs in VDA that prevent a graceful logoff, if they are unnecessary for the published application.
- If you do not want the programs to prevent logoff, follow the instructions mentioned in CTX891671.
- If the issue persists, set the value as 0 in the following registry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent
- Name: Shellbridge
- Type: REG_DWORD

Machine Creation Services
-
The PowerShell command
Remove-ProvVMwithForgetVMparameter might not function correctly if the Delivery Controller and remote PowerShell versions are not compatible. This implies that the Delivery Controller and remote PowerShell versions must be both earlier than 2212, or 2212 or later. For example, if the Delivery Controller version is later than 2212 and the remote PowerShell version is earlier than 2212, then theRemove-ProvVMcommand withForgetVMparameter does not function as expected. As a workaround, download the latest PowerShell version to work with the latest Delivery Controller version. [PMCS-40278] -
