Issues with Visual Studio 2019 + Writable Profile + UIA

We're running:

App Volumes 4

Vmware Horizon Agent 7.12

DEM 9.11 ( no folder redirection - controlled by writable volumes )

Windows 10 1809 LTSC

Linked clones

Dedicated desktops, persistent disks.

Users are reporting that they cannot login to their VM after updating/ adding features to Visual Studio 2019 and Writable Volumes breaks.

We installed Visual Studio 2019 on the Golden Image.

Attached 30 gb of Writable Volume to the user, the user installs a couple of applications and in the end he decides he needs to update Visual Studio 2019.

As soon as that is done, the writable volumes break.

And the user gets the error:

What are the best methods for deploying Visual Studio with Writable Volumes?

When Visual Studio is installed on the Golden Image, is it recommended that it's installed with all features that come with Visual Studio?

I'm not sure about installing on the writable volume, I installed Visual Studio 2019 in an App Stack and attach it to the user's non-persistent desktop.  The user's settings are captured using VMware Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM).  I ensured the additonal components were installed prior to sealing the image and kept a copy of the offline install for updates.
