Windows 7 Taskbar Issues

Really banging my head against the wall on this one. I have sporadic issue where when a user logs back in, or unlocks their Windows 7 64-bit virtual desktop the task bar will blank out, and the machine is frozen for 15ish seconds.  Have found killing explorer.exe or sending a ctrl+alt+del helps resolve the issue faster, but have been unable to find a root cause.

Environment:

-Horizon 7.4

-View Agent 7.4

-Windows 7 64-bit

-2 vCPU and 6 GB vRAM

-vmxnet 3 NIC

-PCoIP protocol

Items attempted so far:

  • Ensure power settings are set to optimal
  • Ensure Symantec is not hanging a process
  • Boot to safe mode and remove iconcache.db (way to much googling here)
  • Remove profile
  • Gave user new machine
  • Re-imaged physical device
  • Re-install View Agent and VMTools
  • Ensure no other monitor drivers were present from 3rd party software.

The problem I am having is it is difficult to troubleshoot as it doesn't happen every time. I see it more when users are switching between dual monitor thin clients to laptops or vice-versa. Logs haven't given me much direction. Anyone else ever experience this?
