Windows 8 Apps fail to open

Hello everyone

If an AppStack is attached during login, the Windows 8 apps fail to open (see attachment). They are faulty and have to be repaired or reinstalled.

If we attach the AppStack after login, everything works fine.

We have AppVolumes 2.10 & Horizon View 6.2.1

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hullo,

from your snapshot the issue is not very clear. You mean every application fails to open? Metro Apps? Desktop apps?

How did you capture the app?

As you can see in the attachement picture, I mean the Metro apps.

I do not have a problem with the appstack applications, they work fine. Just with the Metro apps.

As soon as the appstacks are attached during login, the Metro apps are broken.

If I attach the appstack after the login process, the Metro apps work fine.

This happens with every appstack, not just a specific.

We found a solution that works for us, but it's more like a workaround.

We set the Registry key "VolDelayLoadTime" to 10 seconds, so the appstack attachment is delayed by 10 seconds.

The appstack and logon process seemed to interfere somehow...
