Hi ,
We are moving from a Unidesk environment to trying to get UEM / APP Stacks and Writables to all play nice together.
We are also new to Instant Clones.. Unidesk was nice as the VM's were persistent. ( at least imo ).
We had horrible issues with creating our Gold Image at the start ( Win 10 ). After trying Every Flavor of Win 10.. and removing All agents one by one and then pushing them out to an Instant Clone Pool - we found out it was the App Vol Agent that was the culprit.
As i was speaking w/ the VMware tech I told him this corruption issue didn't happen to everyone He quickly stated to delete my Writable.
This fixed the corruption issue immediately.
What's ODD was i had Nothing intentionally installed on my Writable. I simply had it attached to my machine.
All Apps were in an APP STACK.
Today I updated the GI for Cylance - disabled Defender and uninstalled OneDrive. Pushed out the update ( Win 10 had been working ok prior ).
It refused to allow me to log in - could not mount the app stacks. ( took four attempts to get an error msg )
Went ahead out of Frustration and just Deleted my Writable ( with nothing installed on it ).. and after that i could get in fine.
Apologies i don't have a lot of technical data to draw from.. i get it.. this could be Anything.
ITs just kinda weird that Deleting my not currently ( actively ) used Writable is fixing things.
When this rolls out to our users.. they probably are going to get upset if i keep deleting their C: Drive .
Sorry for the WALL-O-TXT.
thanks ,
