Standard windows apps missing when enabling “UIA Only” writable volumes

We are using the “UIA Only” template (2.12 version) to capture the installed applications and using UEM (9.2 version) to capture the user profile. When the writable volume are attachted to a vdi desktop, then we cannot find any standard windows applications e.g. sticky notes, agenda... But if we detached it , we can see them again on our windows 10 Enterprise Build 1703. Anyone else knows this odd issue?

Add the following to the sanpvol.cfg on the writable volumes.

exclude_path=\Windows\SystemApps

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\USER\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppHost

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppReadiness

techguy129​ Thanks for this info. We tested this and all seems to work fine now!

For our reference, is this info publicly available and documented somewhere (KB?). Other words, how should we found out about this info when installing and configuring writable volumes?

This info is usually shared by other users in the community.  Currently, app volumes doesn't support 1703 and usually settings like this would be included in the next update.

I'll understand, thank you for the feedback! We'll await the next iteration of app volumes, hope 1703 is supported + documented and in the meanwhile, make use of all the knowledge on this forum.
