wdt_ID Brief Description of Issue Brief Description of Fix Applicable Product Versions Affected (if known) Link to supplemental Support Article(s)
1 Windows Media Player throws an error "An error occured while playing the file" when attempting to play mp4 videos or "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file" when attempting to play wmv videos. A new registry DWORD needs to be created within "HKLM\Software\Citrix\HDXMediaStream" for 32-bit machines and "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Citrix\HdxMediaStream" for 64-bit machines. The DWORD name is "UseDefaultRenderers" with a value of "0x1". Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 to 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX227223
2 USB redirection is not working for signature pad. Manufacturers of signature pads may provide additional client and/or server components that need to be loaded in order for signature pad operations to succeed in ICA sessions. For example ePAD provides drivers for the client and server and an ePadLink utility for testing functionality on both the client and VDA. These components may also enable the redirection of signature pads into the VDA session. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX212103
3 XenApp 7.6 VMs randomly become unresponsive. A deadlock situation between 2 threads causes this issue. Upgrade the VDA to version 7.8 which contains fix "LC4195". Citrix XenApp 7.6. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX208386
4 Citrix Studio reports "The security timestamp is invalid" when browsing Machine Catalogs or Delivery Groups. Resync the clock of each Delivery Controller in the farm using command "w32tm /resync". The default maximum acceptable different in time between a client computer clock and the Domain Controller clock is 5 minutes. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223992
5 VDA failed to uninstall or upgrade because profilemgt_x64.msi failed to uninstall. The error reported is "Installation of MSI File 'profilemgt_x64.msi' failed with code 'InstallFailure' (1603)". This is to be resolved by Citrix. In the meantime, you should as a workaround follow the three steps contained in the CTX article. Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 or 7.6 LTSR. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226859
6 VDA blue screens randomly and all changes on standalone VDA are lost after reboot. Upgrade to XenDesktop 7.14 or later. Otherwise, attach the VDA VHD to another computer, open the System hive, make registry changes noted in CTX article and then detach the VHD. Citrix XenApp 7.11. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX222825
7 You receive error "Could not connect to Orchestration Service" after upgrade to XenDesktop 7.15. During the Site upgrade the "OrchDBConnection" and "TrustDBConnection" schema was not created. You must run the failed commands manually to create the Orchestration database connections. Citrix XenDesktop 7.15. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226882
8 Schannel Event IDs 36888 and 36874 are reported on VDAs. These errors appear due to the client and server being unable to communicate correctly, which may be caused by certificate or cipher suite issues. Citrix report that it is safe to ignore these errors. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226770
9 A "1030" error occurs when connecting to a Remote PC connection. Turn off the proxy in Internet Explorer or set "ProxyType" to "None" in default.ica. McAfee Web Gateway was configured as a proxy on the client. This was blocking the ICA connection request from reaching the VDA. This issue could be caused by other proxies too. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226744
10 When connecting to a published desktop from Mozilla Firefox you receive "The connection to ... failed with status (Unknown client error 0)" or "Unable to launch your application. Contact your help desk with the following information: Cannot connect to the Citrix XenApp Server. The Citrix SSL server you have selected is not accepting connections". Download Firefox 53.067 64-bit. It seems that the 32-bit version of Firefox 52.0.2 is not working and causing these errors. Citrix XenDesktop 7.12 and Mozilla Firefox. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX222961
11 A second logon prompt appears after users have logged on to StoreFront and launched a published resource. This can be caused by a number of things. Configuration steps need to be checked and rectified if applicable as mentioned in the CTX article. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220154
12 The Citrix Monitor Service may intermittently lose connectivity to the Monitoring SQL Database. The connection restores on its own after some time. In Event Viewer you see Event ID 1201 "The connection to the database has been lost" and Event ID 1200 "The connection to the database has been restored". Collect WireShark logs from the Delivery Controller and SQL to make sure there is no intermittent network issues. Check for performance issues on SQL using PSSDIAG logs and evaluate increasing the Connection Pool size of the Citrix Monitor Service. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.12 and 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226658
13 Users are unable to launch published applications intermittently with no error being displayed to the user. Citrix Studio also shows an active desktop session for the user even though the Delivery Group is set to provide applications only. This was caused by multiple application launch requests within a few seconds. Uncheck "Auto Launch Desktop" and change the Multi-click duration from the default 3 seconds to 5 seconds. Citrix XenDesktop 7.12 to 7.14. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226606
14 On GPU enabled VDAs a grey screen shows and Event ID "1005 is recorded in the Application Event Log indicating that "CtxUvi" has disabled itself. The CtxUvi driver fails to load hooks correctly. Create a DWORD with name "UviEnabled" and value "0x1" under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CtxUvi" and then disable Group Policies that are set to modify the AppInit_Dlls registry value. Citrix XenDesktop 7.12 to 7.14. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226605
15 When VDA 7.9 or newer is used, Microsoft Office activation fails. The Software Protection Service fails to start. The service times out on system startup after about 30 seconds. Starting the service manually resolves the issue. Create a registry string with name "UviProcessExcludes" and vaue "sppsvc.exe" under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CtxUvi" on each VDA. Citrix XenApp 7.9 to 7.14. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223973
16 A JavaScript form may jump to the top unexpectedly in Google Chrome when VDA is installed on Windows 7. Disable the "Citrix Multi Touch" driver and service by editing the registry of the VDA. Windows 7. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX227229
17 Disabling Triple DES on the VDA breaks SSL connections to the VDA. You must exclude Triple DES from the SSL Cipher Suite on each VDA to make sure an ICA connection does not attempt to use this cipher. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226049
18 CTXAppVComAdmin account is missing. As of XenApp and XenDesktop 7.14, this account is no longer created and is replaced by a "CtxAppVService" service which performs the same function. No further user interaction is required. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.14.
19 Application and desktop launches continue to fail for up to 6 minutes after a Controller fails, even though there are multiple Controllers. As soon as a Controller fails, the VDA does not realise for up to 5 minutes until it sends a heartbeat ping, realises the Controller is unavailable and re-registers with another Controller. This explains the delay. You can decrease the heartbeat interval by changing the "HeartbeatPeriosMs" value on each Controller. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223819
20 After a SQL failure, all VDAs apart from one successfully registered with the Delivery Controller. The one affected VDA could not start the "Citrix Desktop Service". The VDA was missing a "brokeragent.exe.config_orig" file. In order to resolve, reinstall the VDA. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX218001
21 VDA 7.7 install fails with error "XDMI:CAC3C7EE Exception: Citrix.MetaInstaller.MetaInstallerException" and "failed with error code -4". Post install the user account you are using should have access to the RDP listener. If it doesn't the install will fail. Add the user you are using to install the VDA to the "Remote Desktop Users" group and try again. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX206629
22 App-V breaks after upgrading VDA from 7.6 to 7.11. When launching an App-V application you receive error "Application failed to start. The Citrix Server is unable to process your request to start this published application". CtxAppLauncher.exe was missing after the VDA installatin. Run a repair of the VDA and then confirm this file exists under "C:\Program Files\Citrix\Virtual Desktop Agent\". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX218328
23 Session timeouts configured via Active Directory within the "Sessions" tab of a users properties no longer works on Windows Server 2012 R2. It did previously work on Windows Server 2008 R2. It also works via RDP sessions. This seems to be a design or product limitation in Windows Server 2012 R2. As a workaround you should use Group Policy to configure timeout settings. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX218916
24 When users launch a published instance of Outlook 2013 from Windows 10 client machines, the application crashes. Other applications such as Excel and Word work fine. This seems to be caused by a .NET exception as it looks for DLL "penimc.dll". Upgrade .NET to a newer version. Citrix XenApp 7.7. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226354
25 You receive database connection failures on an AlwaysOn SQL cluster using "MultiSubnetFailover". The SQL Cluster Listener IP was not getting updated in DNS which was the cause of these database dicsonnections. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX214738
26 Whenever a Delivery Group contains special characters, clicking on any Application or Application Details tab produces error "An error occured while parsing EntityName". Remove the special characters from each Delivery Group that contains them. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX226068
27 Anonymous/unathenticted users are disconnected after being idle for 10 minutes, even after increasing the idle limit value. This behaviour is not experienced on VDA 7.8 or below. Change the value of "AnonymousUserIdleTime" to "0" in the registry. Citrix VDA 7.9. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225958
28 XenApp 7.6 VDAs randomly stop accepting new ICA or RDP connections. RDSWatcher shows that a new connection gains the username of an existing connection. This is caused by Res Appguard preventing "Winlogon.exe" from accessing "dwm.exe". An exception should be made within Res Appguard. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX203519
29 Session begins to launch but then ends straight away with no specific error. Check your Citrix licenses to make sure they have not expired or exceeded the amount.
30 Desktop option greyed out when creating a Delivery Group. Check the license model and if it is set to XenApp, change it to XenDesktop. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX218251
31 VDA stuck on "Welcome Screen". Install KB2878182. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224607
32 When editing policies on Wnidows Server 2012 R2 the mmc crashes upon clicking "Citrix Policies". This is caused by a missing assembly from Visual C++. Install Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable x64. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225741
33 Reboot schedules no longer work after upgrading Delivery Controller to 7.13. Remove the reboot schedule via PowerShell and then create it again via Citrix Studio. If that does not work recreate the Machine Catalog. If that also does not work, contact Citrix support. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225785
34 Workspace Control may stop working and reconnection attempts hand at "Welcome Screen" before failing. This only seems to occur when using VMware App Volume Manager. On the VDA, vhange the value of "SessionInPreLogoff" from "0" to "1" in the registry. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225625
35 Applications do not enumerate in StoreFront 3.9 using SAML with ADFS and NetScaler. You need to implement Citrix Federated Authentication Service on StoreFront. This is the only supported option when using SAML authentication. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9 and StoreFront 3.6. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220993
36 The first time a user saves PDF files to a client drive via Client Drive Mapping it works, however subsequent attempts fail with error "File in use". Upgrade to XenApp/XenDesktop 7.13. This has also been resolved in XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 CU3 LTSR. Citrix XenApp 7.8 to 7.12. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220268
37 You experience slow reconnection and logons to Windows Server 2012 R2 VDA. Create "GpoCacheEnabled" DWORD with value "1" and "CacheGpoExpireInHours" DWORD with value "5" under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\GroupPolicy" https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX218734
38 Lauching a second application in "Fixed Window Mode" fails with error "Application Name is currently unavailable. Try reconnecting and if the problem persists, contact your system administrator". Citrix XenApp 7.x does not support multiple application sessions from the same Delivery Group in Fixed Window Mode because Session Sharing only supports seamless application sessions. There are workarounds available. Either separate applications in to multiple Delivery Groups or in XenApp 7.9 and above, create an Application Group and disable Session Sharing. Citrix XenApp 7.6 to 7.9. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX214532
39 Unable to delete desktops from Machine Catalog due to error "The uuid is invalid". If a VM is deleted from the Hypervisor directly, the Virtual Machines UUID in the Site database will no longer be valid. Attempting to delete that Virtual Machine through Citrix Studio will fail due to the UUID not being validated. Run the "Remove-BrokerMachine" PowerShell command manually to remove these machines. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223187
40 Personal vDisk enabled VMs fail to registry with a Delivery Controller with Citrix Studio returning agent error code 6 "The Personal vDisk could not find a disk attached to the system for storing user data". The Personal vDisk service prevents registration of a VDA with the Controller until the PvD successfully initializes. This is to ensure that users are not connected to the desktop before the PvD is fully functional. Verify the PvD disk is attached to the Virtual Machine. Make sure the GUID marker file exists at the root of the PvD disk and that the file can be read. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225302
41 VDA reboots after a few minutes of being online after migration from one Citrix Site to another. The device appears as Unregistered in Citrix Studio the whole time. The VDA still has the old list of Delivery Controllers under "C:\Program Files\Citrix\PvsVm\Service\PersistedData\BrokerAgentInfo\SavedListOfDdcsSids.xml". Uninstall the VDA using the VDA Cleanup Utility and then install again. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225199
42 When launching a published desktop you receive error "There is a time and/or date difference between the client and server". On the Delivery Controller Event Log shows errors such as "The Citrix Broker Service failed to validate a user's credentials on an XML service" and "Verify the trust relationships between your domains". Make sure the correct time is configured on each Delivery Controller and Domain Controller. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225029
43 XenApp and XenDesktop catalogs can stop performing as expected after you change the name of storage, network or datacentre paths on your Hypervisor *after* you have created the Hosting Connection and Machine Catalogs. This mostly occurs with MCS but can also be found on PVS. As of XenApp or XenDesktop 7.13, this version updates all hosting related objects if you rename the storage, network or root paths in your Hosting Connection. If you install 7.13 fresh no additional work is required. If you are upgrading from a previous version which contains existing Hosting units, you need to recreate them. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225019
44 Policies do not apply against certain Delivery Groups. This happens if you delete a Delivery Group and then recreate with the same name. Remove and re-apply the policy filter. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224905
45 Citrix Receiver crashes when launching a published application within a published desktop double-hop scenario. You receive error "Citrix HDX engine has stopped working" and then Receiver crashes. Event Viewer logs Event ID 1000 with crashing process "Wfica32.exe". Upgrade the VDA to 7.14. Citrix XenApp 7.12 to 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224890
46 Webcam redirection does not work with Windows N and KN editions. Web cameras do not work for these editions of Microsoft Windows. Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 N or KN editions. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224830
47 When dragging a window you receive lag. Try disabling policy setting "View window contents while dragging" and make use of the lossless switch (available for HDX 3D Pro enabled VDAs). https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224826
48 You receive a "ConnectionValidationFailure" when attempting to create a host connection to SCVMM. The required SCVMM DWORD port value is missing. On each Delivery Controller, create a DWORD with name "IndigoTcpPort" and value "8100" under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Administrator Console\Settings". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224741
49 Power Managed Server VDAs randomly receive a shutdown request approximately 20 minutes after the scheduled reboot and remain turned off. You must then manually power them back on. This may be due to the affected VDAs not registering with a Delivery Controller within 20 minutes. You will see Event Viewer logs such as "The Citrix Broker Service marked a power action as failed because virtual machine ... failed to register with the site after being started, restarted or resumed". You may have to change the "MaxRegistrationDelayMin" timeout or investigate why these VDAs are failing to register. You could also spread the VDA reboots out over a larger timeframe. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223434
50 When launching a published application the session begins to connect but then dissapear after a few minutes. This may be because the session cannot fully complete its launch before the default application launch timeout period value. By default this timeout is 1 minute. On each VDA, create an "ApplicationLaunchWaitTimeoutMS" DWORD to increase this timeout value. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224596
51 As a user logs off a published Internet Explorer, the session remains active in the back-end. This can be caused by one of the Internet Explorer processes created for ACR (Automatic Crash Recovery) hanging. You can force Internet Explorer to execute a single process by setting the "TabProcGrowth" string to "0" in registry. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224600
52 You receive error "Can't connect to this camera. Close any active conversations or other programs that are using your camera, and then try again". Video compression for 64-bit applications is not supported on the VDA. You must use 32-bit applications if you wish to use video compression with them via H.264. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224617
53 When creating a Machine Catalog you receive exception "0x80005000". As a workaround you can upgrade to XenApp or XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.8. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224616
54 Black screens may flash or appear steadily across the desktop when interacting with controls in custom published applications. Certain applications create an invisible full-screen window and in this case a full-screen black window is created for this window. As you interact with the published application, the "CompatWindowDesktopReplacement" seamless window may gain focus and cover the client desktop with a full screen black window. You can resolve this issue by setting per window class seamless flags in the registry of each VDA as described in the CTX article. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224513
55 With Adaptive Transport enabled, you receive a "Connection Interrupted" message from Receiver when working from a high latency network. This happens due to network fragmentation. Reducing the UDT MSS to a smaller value will resolve the problem. The default value for UDT MSS is 1500. You can modify the default UDT MSS value by firstly consulting with your network team to find the right value and then editing the "default.ica" file on StoreFront. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224373
56 In a multi-domain environment, a child domain user receives error "You have not been granted access to this published application" when attempting to launch an application from StoreFront. This happens when the published applications "Limit Visibility" setting is configured for a child-domain user group and that user-group name exists in another child or parent domain. Either change the group names so that there is no duplicates across domains, add users to "Limit Visibility" instead of groups, create a Universal Security Group, contact Citrix for a private fix for 7.12/7.13 or upgrade to XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 which contains the fix. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.13 to 7.15. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224290
57 Machines fail to register with any Delivery Controller after a scheduled reboot. Set DWORD "MaxTimeBeforeStuckOnBootFaultSecs" and "MaxTimeBeforeUnregisteredFaultSecs" to a value of "3000". This gives the VDAs more time to registry after a reboot. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224308
58 Session launch is stuck at "Connection established. Negotiating capabilities". This issue occured after anti-virus definition updates and was resolved by disabling Trend anti-virus. Citrix XenApp 6.5 for Windows Server 2008 R2. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224309
59 Email toast notifications do not appear when Outlook is published as a seamless application. This affects both Outlook 2013 and 2016. Due to a limitation of the Metro UI in Windows Server 2012 R2, toast notifications in Outlook 2013/2016 are not supported in XenApp 7.x. Microsoft anticipated that this issue would be resolved in Windows Server 2016 but it does not appear to be. Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 with Outlook 2013 or 2016. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX214638
60 When connecting to VMware an error "TLS Error Prevented Connection to the Hypervisor, Not All SSL Details Could be Validated" appears. Upgrade to XenDesktop 7.8. Citrix XenDesktop 7.7. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX212870
61 When disconnecting a session using the disconnect button on the Start Menu you receive error "The network connection to your application was interrupted. Try to access your application later, or contact your help desk". This is a known issue. Contact Citrix support. Citrix XenDesktop 7.12 and 7.13.
62 When logging on to StoreFront you receive error "Please verify your user name and password and try logging on again. If you cannot log on, contact your help desk". This can happen due to a timeout between StoreFront and the Delivery Controller when attempting to authenticate the user via XML authentication. Try increasing the timeout value of "XmlWpnbrRequestTimeoutMs" to "90000" on each Delivery Controller. Citrix XenDesktop 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223750
63 Adaptive Transport or Framehawk might fall back to TCP. This can be caused by stale entries in DNS for the NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server on a client machine. Flush the DNS cache on client machine and reconnect.
64 When logging on or off a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 VDA, the operation may pause and appear to be hung. Click in the session window to resume the operation. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.14.
65 When Local Host Cache is enabled, users with desktop connections may not be able to reconnect during an outage. Restart the Citrix High Availability Service. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.14.
66 CtxAuth (Citrix Kerberos Authentication) does not work for Windows Server 2016 VDAs that have "KB3213986" installed. Upgrade to VDA 7.14.
67 On 64-bit Firefox browsers with the "Electrolysis" or "e10s" feature enabled, unexpected terminations occur. Upgrade to XenApp or XenDesktop 7.14 to resolve the Firefox terminations or contact Citrix Support for a private fix for older builds. You could also disable Citrix API hooks for Firefox. To resolve Chrome, create an "ExcludedImageNames" string with value "chrome.exe,nacl64.exe". Citrix XenApp 6.5, XenApp 7.x or XenDesktop 7.x. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224067
68 Users are unable to launch desktops or applications after a XenApp or XenDesktop database is set up for mirroring. The Delivery Controller's event logs record "An unexpected exception occured while the Citrix Broker Service processed an HTTP request". Either remove mirroring or update all FMA service connection strings to reflect the new failover SQL partner. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX224035
69 Running a basic search in Studio may be slow or time out. This is due to a large deployment containing a substantial amount of data and lack of selectivity in the search query. You should use the advanced search options to increase selectivity and target the SQL database more precisely and efficiently. Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 to XenDesktop 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223990
70 Client-side content fetching does not work when accesing a video using the "mms" protocol. When accessing the same video via HTTP, client-side content fetching works. When video is played back using the mms protocol, Windows Media Player loads and uses an original DirectShow source filter which interferes with cleint-side content fetching. Instead, continue to access videos on a web server via HTTP. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223982
71 After a XenDesktop and PVS upgrade, the XenDesktop Setup Wizard in PVS does not list existing catalogs that were created before the upgrade. Upgrade existing Machine Catalogs to the latest functional level or else run the PVS XenDesktop Setup Wizard choosing a lower functional level when asked. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6/7.8. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223899
72 XenDesktop 7.x Site creation fails with error "XDDS:7205050FF6" and in Event Viewer ID 1000 is logged with error "0xc0000005". Upgrade SQL to the latest service pack, run a repair/reinstall of SQL and make sure the instance is configured properly and all services are up. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223896
73 Citrix Studio shows the incorrect site name. Open file "Studio" found in "%AppData%\Microsoft\MMC\" and search for the incorrect site name, replacing it with the correct site name. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX216268
74 Dragging windows inside of a seamless published application may show in some instances the window contents or background colour of the server VDA. At other times the window will appear to snap into place once the mouse button is released. This may make you believe that the "View window contents while dragging" policy is not behaving as expected. This is expected behaviour as you are dragging content from within the server rather than dragging content from the client window that Receiver handles. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223876
75 Logons hang at "Please wait for Citrix Profile Management". Make a copy of the vDisk and mount it to a machine, load the System Registry hive and set service "Citrix Telemetry Service" startup to "Automatic (Delayed Startup)". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX219468
76 WMIPrvSE.exe consumes a high amount of CPU whilst BrokerAgent.exe starts performance queries through WMI. WMI corruption can cause this issue. Reset the WMI counter. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223754
77 Users cannot resume their disconnected sessions from Dell Xenith Wyse thin clients. In the .ini file of your WYSE clients, "ReconnectAtLogon" was set to a value of "0". Change the "ReconnectAtLogon" value to "2". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX215928
78 After launching a desktop, CDViewer appears with a grey connecting background and then disappears with the following error logged in Event Viewer "Vanadium: TW Protocol error: Execution failed (Code 5)". Make sure "Legacy Graphics Mode" is enabled if the VDA is Windows 7 or below. If that does not resolve the issue, reinstall the VDA. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223643
79 The Summary page of a VDA installation may contain a message indicating that there was a failure connecting to a Delivery Controller even though the connection test was successful. Ignore this message as it is a bug. This is resolved in VDA 7.14. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.13.
80 Installation of the VDA on Windows 10 Anniversary Update fails with error code "MSI File ICAWS_x64.msi' failed with code InstallFailure (1603)". Reset the Performance Counters on the machine you are using to install VDA software on. If that does not work run the VDA Cleanup Utility and attempt an install. If that does not work rebuild the WMI repository. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.13. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX222477

348 If setting the Scroll Bar size on a VDA by using the "ScrollWidth" and "ScrollHeigh" registry strings under "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowsMetrics\", the values are ignored and instead the client side values are used. You can force the published application to use the server values by setting the "SeamlessFlags" DWORD to "0x4000" under "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX241131
349 With "Limit to one instance per user" set to prevent a user launching the same application twice, it doesn't work and the user can launch multiple instances. If the user is clicking to launch the app multiple times in a few seconds, this can happen as the initial launch has not yet registered with the broker and therefore the broker allowed another instance of the app to be launched. Check the multi-click duration setting in StoreFront which by default should be 3 seconds. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX236169
350 Server VDAs during a scheduled reboot remain powered off. This usually happens then the VDA does not shut down gracefully in the default time allocated, which is 10 minutes.

427 AutoCAD keeps crashing on a Windows 7 64-bit virtual desktop. When using RDP to the desktop, the same issue does not occur. Using ProcDump to generate a crash dump and then analysing it with Winbg found that .NET Framework 4.7 was causing the issue. Once uninstalled, the issue was resolved. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX229205
428 After an upgrade to Virtual Apps and Desktops 1903 and 1906 with VDAs that use NVIDIA GRID, graphics appear distorted particularly when moving windows around or maximising a window. Downgrading the VDA to 7.15 LTSR CU4 has resolved the issue. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1903, 1906. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/403374-xd-vda-1903-graphic-errors-and-overlays/
429 A published application which is set to download a ".jar" file and then launch that file does not launch. The "Path to the executable file" and "Command line argument (optional)" paths in Studio had values that exceeded the 204 character limit that exists for published applications. A workaround is to place the commands in a batch file, and point your published application to the batch file. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/403357-publish-powershell-command-as-a-xenapp/
430 Redirecting devices from Chrome OS to published desktops does not work. This is currently being investigated by Google. Google Chrome OS. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/403248-usb-redirection-not-working-in-chrome-os/
431 Virtual machines show as "Stuck on boot" in Studio, although the machines are registered with a Controller. After a machine is rebooted, it waits for a HCL notification to confirm that VM tools are installed or not. If the wait for this notification times out, it causes the "Stuck on boot" status. Set DWORD "MaxTimeBeforeStuckOnBootFaultSecs" to "500" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Citrix\DesktopServer\". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220455
432 In a dual monitor setup, the mouse cursor freezes every 5 seconds. Disabling hardware acceleration for both monitors solved the problem. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404126-mouse-freeze-issue-with-dual-monitor-setup-xenapp-715-server-2016/
433 When using AutoCAD, the screen flickers/flashes during certain workflows within AutoCAD. Disabling Citrix policy "Optimize for 3D graphics workload" solved the problem. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404151-screen-flashing-black-after-panning-in-autocad-2019/
434 On an HDX 3D Pro enabled VDA, the mouse cursor does not display correctly. Navigate to "Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options" and set "Display pointer trails" to the shortest length. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX206528
435 Opening a file locally using a published app works for the first time, but opening further local files whilst the published app is already running throws a "file not found" error. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404195-issue-opening-multiple-files-with-published-app/
436 Users receive a black screen and when disconnecting and reconnecting to virtual desktops, they receive error "Desktop cannot be started". The Event Log on the Delivery Controller shows "The virtual machine rejected a request to prepare itself for a connection". Bitdefender was updating itself to a version which has a memory leak. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404242-desktops-boots-up-black-and-rejecting-connections/
437 With Windows Explorer as a published app, creating, deleting, or renaming files will only show as complete after hitting F5 to refresh. Setting "SeamlessFlags" to "0x20" under "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI" solved the problem. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404254-windows-explorer-on-server-2019-in-seamless-mode-dont-refresh/
438 Users are able to pin items to the taskbar but the items are not following the user after logging off and on to a different server. The "DefaultLayout.xml" file was misconfigured, and was causing the problem. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404288-terminal-server-pinned-icons/
439 Upgrading to VDA 1906.2 silently fails as when the machine reboots after installing various components, the installer does not start back up. This behaviour did not exist in older VDA versions. Adding switch "/NORESUME" to the silent installer fixed the issue. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404329-vda-19062-silent-install-requires-logon-to-complete/
440 Citrix policies are not refreshed when connecting back to a disconnected session. Deleting the "DisableGPCalculation" DWORD under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Reconnect" fixed the issue. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/404366-force-reapply-citrix-polices-cvad-715-cu3-server-2016/

444 When connecting to a virtual desktop error "Access is denied" is displayed. The DNS settings on one of the Delivery Controllers was incorrect.
445 At random times desktops BSOD. Changing the virtual machine's NIC from E1000E to VMXNet3 solved this issue. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/405675-constant-crashing-715-ltsr-cu1/
446 Client redirected printers appear within a Windows 10 1903 desktop but jobs sent to the printers do not print. The same issue is not encountered when connected to a Windows 10 1809 desktop. Updating the VDA to 7.15 LTSR CU5 solved the issue. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR CU3. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/405667-citrix-xendesktop-715-cu3-and-windows-10-1903-and-client-printers/
447 Trying to launch a published application from within a published desktop (double hop) causes a new published desktop session starting with the published app running, and an "Access Denied" message showing in the background. A number of Citrix related registry values were missing and needed to be created, as shown in the CTX article. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/403168-strange-published-app-behavior-in-remote-desktop/
448 When launching a published application Receiver or Workspace app hangs at "Please wait for the Local Session Manager". Not all applications are affected. This issue occurred for particular users that had an existing session on a hung VDA. After the affected VDA was rebooted, the issue cleared.
449 Odd numbered VDAs all appear with a "Power State" of "Unknown" and they do not accept connections. Even numbered VDAs are fine. Rebooting the VDAs solved this issue.
450 With multiple monitors in use, the mouse pointer is being pushed outside of the publsihed application window. Setting the resolution on each monitor to be the same as the laptop resolved the issue.
451 A Windows Defender update released by Microsoft breaks broker communication as it detects the "Citrix Broker Service" and "Citrix High Availability Service" as trojans and removes the files associated with those services. This occurs when Windows Defender is installed on Delivery Controllers. There are three workarounds available in the CTX article, such as disabling/downgrading Windows Defender, or restoring the missing files including excluding them from Windows Defender. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX279897
452 After launching a published application, the window of the application cannot be expanded to cover the entire screen, and a large portion of the application window is filled by a black box. This was caused by a docking station, or the external monitor connected to it. After disconnecting the docking station, the application window displayed normally.
453 When opening Studio you receive message "Is your License Server compatible? Your License Server must be compatible with this upgrade to make sure that users can access their applications and desktops". However, no upgrade has been performed. A service stuck on any of the Delivery Controllers can cause this. On each Delivery Controller, launch PowerShell and run cmdlet "Get-Command Get-*ServiceStatus" followed by running all of the returned cmdlets such as "Get-ConfigServiceStatus". Check the output of each cmdlet returns "OK". If any return "DBUnconfigured" then reboot the affected Delivery Controller and recheck. If the cmdlet continues to return DBUnconfigured, you can configure it manually using for example "Set-ConfigServiceStatus".
454 VDAs reboot out of schedule just after midnight before daylight savings time ends. Upgrade to Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.15 LTSR CU6, 1912 LTSR CU1, or Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2003 and newer versions. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.15 LTSR before CU5, 1912 LTSR before CU1, and Current Release before 2003.
455 Users fail to enumerate and launch published resources, and VDAs may attempt to re-register with Delivery Controllers. The Delivery Controllers may also log Event ID 1200 and 1201 "The connection between the Citrix Broker Service and the database has been lost". Running "Get-BrokerServiceStatus" from Delivery Controllers may return "PendingFailure". This happens because many access requests to the "Chb_State.Sessions" SQL table are blocked. This is resolved in Virtual Apps and Desktops 1912 LTSR CU2. Otherwise, you can reach out to Citrix support to obtain a fix by referring to bug ID "CVADHELP-14876". https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX286221
456 Server VDAs do not complete a reboot and are left in a powered off state. Set the "MaxShutdownTimeSecs", "MaxShutdownDelayMin" and "ShutdownTimeoutRecovery" DWORD values to decimal "20", "60" and "1" respectively as outlined in the CTX article. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX237058
457 After an upgrade to 1912 LTSR CU2, the Azure Hosting connection may fail to work. When using the "Test Connection" feature you receive error "Error Id: XDDS:D2089BCC". Upgrade .NET Framework to 4.7.2 or higher. Citrix is working on incorporating the .NET Framework 4.7.2 install into the Virtual Apps and Desktops meta-installer in a future release. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 1912 LTSR CU2. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX292869
458 Upgrading VDA 2003 to 2009 or 2012 fails with error "1721" and "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Citrix Monitor Service VDA Plugin. Product Version: 7.28.0.11. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Citrix Systems, Inc. Installation success or error status: 1603.". Follow the steps in CTX article such as adding new System variables, running the VDA cleanup utility, and then retrying an install. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX292909
459 With URL redirection configured, particular users working remotely click on URL links within published apps, however the web page attempts to load through the client's local browser and subsequently fails. This issue affects Virgin Media (UK) broadband customers. Opting out of ANES (Advanced Network Error Search) resolves the issue.
460 Citrix Site upgrade from 1903 to 2103 gets stuck in a loop and the upgrade fails with error "Update requires all services to be stopped" or "Update requires all Citrix Broker service instances to be stopped" until you stop services "Citrix Host Service", "Citrix Broker Service", and "Citrix Machine Creation Service". Rolling back the upgraded Delivery Controllers and restoring the Site database, and then attempting the upgrade again resolved the issue.
461 User profiles are not being deleted at logoff. Upon investigating, some folders under "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WER" are locked and cannot be deleted. Symantec Endpoint Protection was found to be causing this issue. The issue is resolved in version 14.3 RU1 and above. There is also a workaround posted in the linked article. https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/184245/endpoint-protection-142-prevents-termina.html
462 Applications launch with a black screen. Updating the graphics card drivers on the machine experiencing the issue resolved this.
463 When copying data from a published application or desktop to the local endpoint, the data can become corrupt or appear to lose its formatting. This appears to be an issue affecting the VDA. Upgrade to 2106. Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2103.
464 VDAs fail to register with any Delivery Controller and log Event ID 1023 "The registration was refused due to 'AgentNotContactable'". Add each Delivery Controller to the "Access this computer from the network" policy, which can be controlled via Group Policy.
465 When connecting to a Virtual Delivery Agent running 2112, you receive a Windows Firewall popup on your client asking if you want to allow access for "Citrix HDX Engine". Only occurs when the VDA is version 2112. You can allow access if you have the elevated rights. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2112.
466 Mac users experience the Citrix Viewer crashing and session connection issues. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2203 and older versions.
467 Microsoft 365 build 16.0.7967 and later when published as applications from a Windows Server 2019 Virtual Delivery Agent may freeze after a user enters their email address as part of the license activation prompt. This is resolved in VDA versions 2203 CU1 and above. Upgrade to 2203 CU1, create a 'Shellbridge' DWORD with value '0x1' under 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent' and ensure Microsoft KB5014022 is installed on the VDA.
468 When attempting to remove the VDA component you receive message "There are no components available to remove". From a Process Monitor trace the uninstall was trying to reference VDA media from a remote share to execute the uninstall and the share no longer existed. Changing all registry values to the equivalent local path where the VDA media resided resolved the issue.
469 After launching a Citrix session a blank white screen is displayed. Creating a 'UseSoftwareOnlyRendering' DWORD with value '0x1' under 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle' resolved the issue. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX484461
470 After upgrading the VDA software the machines in Studio show as unregistered due to "Registration Missing". The command "LODCTR /R" was run twice on each of the affected VDAs and then the Citrix Desktop Service restarted. This resets the counters.
471 A Server OS VDA running version 2203 or 2206 may experience a BSO with BugCheck code 0x0000007e due to an access violation by tdica.sys. The issue has been resolved in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2209 and 2203 LTSR Cumulative Update 2. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 and 2206. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX463756/2203-or-2206-server-os-vda-may-experience-bsod-on-tdicasys
472 When users launch Internet Explorer 11 they receive message 'Citrix HDXJsInjectr from Citrix Systems, Inc. is incompatible with Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Features'. The Citrix HDXJsInjector plugin is incompatible with Internet Explorer Enhanced Protected Mode. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX547350/citrix-hdxjsinjectr-is-incompatible-with-internet-explorers-enhanced-security-features
473 A Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) occurs with BugCheck code 0x96 "INVALID_WORK_QUEUE_ITEM" after upgrading the VDA to 2203 LTSR CU4. This issue is resolved in 2204 LTSR CU4 Update 1. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2203 LTSR CU4. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX584794
474 When logging in users see a warning "Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Warning: Your corporate Citrix environment is currently unsupported. Please contact your IT department to resolve.". CVAD 2311 and later will check for expired software maintenance and this causes end-user notifications to be displayed inside the session after launch.

475 Virtual Delivery Agent is not registering with Cloud Connector and the Event Viewer logs on the VDA show Event ID 1017 and 1002. The Citrix Cloud Connector port for VDA communication was changed to a custom port by modifying 'CustomVDAPortNumber' and 'CustomVDAPortNumberHA' DWORDs under 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\XaXdCloudProxyPersist'.
476 Virtual Delivery Agent is not registering with Cloud Connector and the Event Viewer logs on the VDA show Event ID 1017 and 1002. A stale record in DNS was present for the Cloud Connector machine.
477 The recycle bin feature of FSLogix 2210 causes long logons. This issue is resolved in FSLogix 2210 Hotfix 1. Microsoft FSLogix 2210. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1179640/fslogix-2210-bug?comment=question#comment-1191395
478 The network connection is briefly interrupted every four hours. Upon review it appears that the network adapter is disconnecting and then reconnecting. In Event Viewer under the 'NetworkProfile' folder entries such as Event ID 10001 are being recorded. The DHCP lease time was 8 hours, and thus when the DHCP lease time reached 50% (known as T1) a DHCP lease renewal occurred, disconnecting the network for 1-2 seconds.

    Hi,

    We see one of the problem too. Every time the hosting connection has a problem an maschine goes to power state “unknown”, then we are not able to get a connection to multi-session hosts. Any idea ? We see that with LTSR 1912 (CU1 + CU2). A reboot still bringing up the machine with “unknown” does to fix the problem of no connection.
    Regards
    Reinhard

      This is happening to us too. Only rebooting the DDCs solves it. We’re still trying to figure out the root case and a true fix.

      From a delivery controller run get-brokerhypervisorconnection determine the preferred controller, from that preferred controller restart the citrix host connection service. I see this occasionally as well. This normally fixes the unknown power state.

    If you see servers with power state unknown log on to DDC server , open powershell as administrator and paste commands below one by one]
    asnp Citrix*
    Get-Service Citrix* | Stop-Service -Force
    Get-Service Citrix* | Start-Service
    citrix asnp*

    If it doesnt fix the issue, try executing it on all DDC.
