Hi together

Anyone who’s delivered Windows 2012R2 or Windows 8.1 with XenApp/XenDesktop 7.x, was wondered that the right-click on the start button doesn’t work:

RCStartmenu1

That happend because Citrix User Profile Management overwrights or delete the folder AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX .

You can restore the content of this folder with a simple Logon script:

$WinxDst = "$env:userprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX"
$WinxSrc = "$env:SystemDrive\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\"

If(!(Test-Path -Path $WinxDst)){
    Copy-Item -Path $WinxSrc -Destination $WinxDst -recurse }Else{
    Write-Host "WinX Work"
}

The result looks like common:

RCStartmenu2

To save this permanently you should include following path in Citrix UPM: !ctx_localsettings!\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

A special thank goes to the system engineers from the company Unico Data AG, which have explored this in the broad Internet :-)
