Windows 10 - Persona Management not writing back changes

Ok, we are having an issue with persona management and windows 10. I've tried multiple versions of Windows 10 build and agent, but after a while persona management stops writing back changes and GPO's stop applying on logon.

Currently on 1809 and agent 7.7 - today I've just dropped back to agent 7.4 again in hopes of some kind of resolution. Still not working.

I really don't want to go back again to an early unsecure version of windows 10 like the 1600/1700 series.

I know VMware are pushing UEM but here, its a cost issue so persona management is the only option (other than windows roaming profiles - which again seems like a step backwards). I can see from much googling that this is a big issue and VMWare are doing zero to support the issue..

Has anyone successfully found away around persona managements poor integration with windows 10?

FYI - about 7 days ago it was all working fine on build 1809 and agent 7.7

Thanks

Windows 10 1803 and Persona

It looks like that Windows 10 1709 and above is problematic. I've not tried to use Persona as I use UEM what works great but doesn't help you. Smiley Sad

Does anyone have a link to what OS is supported and working with Persona?

Please mark helpful or correct if my answer resolved your issue.

Tossing in my two cents, we're experiencing the exact same issue. Windows 10 1809 w/View agent 7.8 - persona is highly inconsistent (and I do have local appdata disabled in the GPO, so it's not roaming; per another thrd, this was a suggested "fix", which did help some, but it's still not working well).

To move to UEM is a cost issue, especially with how few VM's we run (on the desktop/client side, we have maybe 50-60 active sessions at most, at any given time - typically less).
