We need to wait until File Explorer has loaded before making our changes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, near the end of DEM's logon run, we schedule a separate run of FlexEngine.exe to apply the collected settings, by registering it to run via File Explorer's &lt;EM&gt;RunOnce&lt;/EM&gt; functionality. Is there anything near the end of the normal FlexEngine log file that might point at an issue with this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've been trying to get DEM 9.10's new &lt;STRONG&gt;Default File Association&lt;/STRONG&gt; working in our environment and cannot get it to work....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Horizon 7.6&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Windows 10 1809&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;DEM 9.10&amp;nbsp; (DEM runs as via Group Policy)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One thing I've noticed, is that I have never seen the new &lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;FlexEngine-DefaultApplications.log&lt;/EM&gt; generated.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;I normally use the &lt;EM&gt;FlexDebug.txt&lt;/EM&gt; file to turn on logging per user.&amp;nbsp; I've tried turning up the logging to Debug levels in GPO... &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;I see that the policy is being processed:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(Export)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.198 [INFO ] Exporting profile using config file 'Save User File Type Associations.INI' (\\SERVER\VDI_UEMConfig\General\Windows Settings\Save User File Type Associations.INI)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.198 [INFO ] Binary Settings: Applied Common Setting 'Default applications - File type associations and protocols'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.204 [INFO ] Exporting Registry information&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.301 [INFO ] Exported Registry information successfully&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.314 [INFO ] Exported default applications configuration&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:04:09.324 [DEBUG] Stored 2 entries in profile archive (size: 642013; compressed: 36119)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(Import)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:06:19.678 [INFO ] Importing profile archive 'Save User File Type Associations.zip' (\\server\VDI_UEMProfiles\USERID\Archives\Windows Settings\Save User File Type Associations.zip)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:06:19.688 [DEBUG] ImportRegistry::Import: Calling '"C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE" /S "C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Temp\FLX10D5.tmp"' (RPAL: l=0 (F/E), r=0)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:06:20.163 [INFO ] Processed configuration for default applications&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;2020-01-10 12:06:20.164 [DEBUG] Read 2 entries from profile archive (size: 642013; compressed: 36119; took 484 ms; largest file: 639918 bytes; slowest import took 3 ms; registry took 483 ms)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;File associations are not altered in any way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And no log file is created.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The only logs generated are the FlexEngine.log &amp;amp; FlexEngine-async.log&amp;nbsp; &amp;amp; FlexEngine-ADMX.log&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have no File Type Associations created in the User Environment, that could interfere.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas on troubleshooting this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;OK.&amp;nbsp; That makes sense.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've looked in both &lt;STRONG&gt;HKCU&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;STRONG&gt;HKLM &lt;/STRONG&gt; Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\&amp;nbsp; and both are blank.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At the end on the FlexEngine.log I see the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2020-01-10 12:33:48.507 [ERROR] Policy setting '&lt;EM&gt;Do not process the run once list&lt;/EM&gt;' is enabled -- cannot schedule DEM actions&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2020-01-10 12:33:48.508 [INFO ] Triggering scheduled DEM actions&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe that has something to do with it.&amp;nbsp; I'll track down that policy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bingo.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;DEM 9.10 &lt;STRONG&gt;Default File Associations&lt;/STRONG&gt; will NOT work if you have a policy to "&lt;STRONG&gt;Do Not Process the run once list&lt;/STRONG&gt;"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We had added that to prevent OneDrive and other apps from installing post login.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I now see the &lt;EM&gt;FlexEngine-DefaultApplications.log&lt;/EM&gt;, which is created a few seconds after getting a desktop.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for clarifying the process.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Annotation 2020-01-10 125318.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/16486i3E5082063590FA98/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Annotation 2020-01-10 125318.png" alt="Annotation 2020-01-10 125318.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Per User file type associations are now working as expected.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
