Good afternoon, I wanted to inform the community of the below incase anyone runs into this situation. I don't have a resolution for this scenario right now. I just wanted to make everyone aware of the below. The below response is directly from Microsoft support.
Microsoft Support response
It is not possible to run Modern Apps (UWP Apps like calculator, pictures) along with FsLogix, this is by design behavior and this will happen with any roaming profile solution, other vendors might have or offer a different workaround.
The Product Group team is aware of these incompatibilities that the Store apps are not supported with roaming profiles.
Applications installed directly into the base image by an admin will work as long as the profile is not used to roam between different OS versions. The MS engineering teams are working together to improve support and compatibility, but it will involve large changes across the Windows OS, and FsLogix.” For now the solution for these issues is not implemented and there is not ETA confirmed,
There are workarounds but we don’t guarantee that it fixes the problem. They may or may not work (In this case, not)
this issue will take some time to be addressed by our design product group, from FsLogix working with the OS design group, this could be a great change.
To give you more context of the incompatibility:
Modern apps have part of the info in the base OS and part of the info in the user profile,
and FsLogix seamlessly redirects user profiles. This causes problems with persistency.
When the Modern app version in the FsLogix user profile registry doesn’t match the version of Modern app running in the base OS, it doesn’t appear to be available for the user.
These are the workaround that I tried with no positive results.
--------------------------------------------- WORKAROUND 1 - Exclude the packages folder ---------------------------------------------
on the redirections.xml please add the following exclusion:
%localappdata%\packages
example: <Exclude Copy="0">\AppData\Local\Packages\</Exclude>
here you can find more info about how to create and configure Redirections.xml https://docs.microsoft.com/es-mx/fslogix/manage-profile-content-cncpt#redirectionsxml
--------------------------------------------- WORKAROUND 2 – Apply Exclusions ---------------------------------------------
Step 1
Exclude the following directories using redirections.xml on a test machine
•%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy
•%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy
•%localappdata%\Packages\<app package basically any folder>\AC\TokenBroker (this one would basically need to be a script to check all the directories under \Packages and then clear the TokenBroker folder if it exists; i.e. so can't really be done by redirections.xml unless you make a very long list.).
•%localappdata%\Microsoft\TokenBroker(is used to manage permissions for the Windows App Store.)
Step 2
Recommended to create an automated task that deletes the following registry keys when a user signs off:
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IdentityCRL
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AAD
--------------------------------------------- WORKAROUND 3 – Logon Script ---------------------------------------------
This is another workaround, you can create a logon script to re-register all the UWP apps:
$regkey = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications"
$apps = Get-ChildItem -Path $regkey
ForEach($key in $apps)
{
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register (Get-ItemProperty -Path $key.PsPath).Path
}
$regkey = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Applications"
$apps = Get-ChildItem -Path $regkey
ForEach($key in $apps)
{
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register (Get-ItemProperty -Path $key.PsPath).Path
}
