Roaming taskbar in Windows 10 v1703

We are running Windows 10 v1703 in VMWare Horizon 7 with UEM v9.2.0.

Using the following link we are able to roam the startmenu: FIXED! Roam the Windows 10 Start Menu in your VDI environment.

But we are unable to reliably roam the taskbar when using the builtin Taskbar setting in UEM:

[IncludeRegistryTrees]

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\StartMenu2\Programs

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist

[IncludeIndividualRegistryValues]

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarSizeMove

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\EnableAutoTray

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2\Settings

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3\Settings

[IncludeFolderTrees]

<AppData>\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

<RecentFiles>

We want to only show IE and Explorer in taskbar. Sometimes the taskbar is shown correctly, sometimes the Mail and Store icon reappear.

Using floating or dedicated pools makes no difference it seems.

Does anyone have any idea to why this is happening?

Do you store HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced ?

maybe in another configuration?

At least the value  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarSizeMove

seems to be useful here.

Thx HartmutEhl

We added

[IncludeRegistryTrees]

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

And now roaming taskbar on Windows 10 v1703 is working properly.

For reference, we were using the default Taskbar template of UEM but that didn't work consistent. Simply adding the abore solution fixed it for us.

Full Taskbar config now is:

[IncludeRegistryTrees]

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\StartMenu2\Programs

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

[IncludeIndividualRegistryValues]

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarSizeMove

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\EnableAutoTray

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2\Settings

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3\Settings

[IncludeFolderTrees]

<AppData>\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
