Last day for the savings!

During World of EUC Amplify in Milwaukee, EDCI, Liquidware, 10ZiG, and Parallels are running an extra ‘fun’ activity outside of the show hours. We can’t say what it is yet, but it is pretty awesome. Details aren’t live yet, but it is booked and there will be raffle prizes up for grabs too. Whilst we will be inviting people LIVE at Amplify itself, initially we are looking for end users who would like to be given first refusal on attending when the registration is live. This isn’t commitment, but if you’d like to be kept informed, then please drop me, Jackson or Ray an email expressing your interest. tomd@10zig.com, ray.swanson@liquidware.com, jackson.grise@alludo.com

I'm not sure this is the right channel for this, but has anyone successfully created a script or something to add to Autopilot deployment to remove bloatware from HP machines? We don't have them imaged before we buy them.

Bring your ugliest legacy Windows app. We'll bring the wine. 🍷 At EUC World Amplify 2026, we're doing something we've never tried before: a live wine tasting where the "tasting menu" is your legacy applications. The WINE Studio Migration Bar — Mon, Sept 28, 8–10 PM, at The Chophouse (Hilton Milwaukee City Center). Here's the deal: bring a Windows .exe or .msi on a USB drive — that Delphi inventory tracker, that VB6 billing engine, that SCADA console nobody's touched since 2014. While a professional sommelier walks us through a curated flight of wines and dessert pairings, our engineers will run your app through WINE Studio live on the big screen — a dual-AI-agent pipeline that diagnoses, configures, and containerizes it in real time. If it converts, you walk out with a working container recipe. If it doesn't, you walk out with a great story and better wine than you expected at a tech conference. Seats are strictly limited 🔗 Reserve your seat : kasmbrand.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/winestudio/index.html I'll also be speaking in another session at Amplify this year — details soon. See you in Milwaukee.

Happy 🎂 day @Richard Faulkner!

Can anyone get https://status.cogentco.com to load? I can't get it from my Office, home or LTE... but downforeveryoneorjustme.com shows it's still up?

Time for a rant ----- is it just me or does anyone else lose their f*cking loaf when they see support DELETING ENTIRE USER PROFILES for the flimsiest of goddamn reasons? "User can't open Outlook" --> DELETES ENTIRE PROFILE (when they could just use a bit of nous and maybe JUST DELETE THE OUTLOOK-RELATED STUFF). "User's microphone isn't working" --> DELETES ENTIRE PROFILE (when the damn thing was probably faulty) Or even, hey, just rename the profile, see if that fixes the issue, then escalate it to someone with a bit more technical knowhow, if you're not sure how to remove the pertinent filesystem and Registry values for a particular app or feature. Hey, ask me nicely, I'll write some scripts that users can run that "reset Teams", "reset Outlook", "reset Office", etc. BUT JUST STOP DELETING USER'S PROFILES FOR NO REASON! Just had one come in, user had a session that disconnected a few times. So they deleted the profile. Amazingly, the problem hasn't gone away, so now the user is still getting disconnects but now has no f*cking profile either. End of rant. Sorry.

We are planning to deploy Google meet in vdis (Citrix\W365). Any idea if it can support any advanced redirection like Teams? I noticed https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2022/11/improved-meeting-quality-for-virtual-machines.html?m=1 but it talks more of a vdi resource level optimisation instead of any media offload capabilities?

Just a heads up to folks. Noticing some issues with blank screen, or "The system detected an overrun of stack-based buffer" when logging on to non-persistent VMs after the latest September 2026 Windows Updates. Manually starting explorer.exe allows desktop to proceed. Subsequent logins work fine after doing that (in my lab). In my lab it's only occuring on FSLogix based non-persistent VDI, and not when using DEM.

Seems like the latest version of Adobe Reader x86 no longer installs on ARM processors on Windows 11. Anyone see the same issue? 26.002.21901 fails to install saying it's not supported on that processor, but earlier versions work.

I've got av bit of a conundrum.... just started working with a new customer. I just got sent a case that Office 365 apps wouldn't start for 2 out of a few hundred concurrent users. After some investigation I find that shared computer activation is not configured on the servers. Even if I am still not sure that is the root cause in this specific, how has this not caused some major issues over the last 6 - 7 months since the site was put in to production? I will fix the shared activation configuration of course, but I can't understand why this has not been a major issue for a while for more users.

They just got lucky, I guess....

Interesting read. I have always set VDI desktops to High Performance but looks like there's no real benefit. Would be interested to see if the same results apply across different hypervisors. Beyond Balanced: Benchmarking Windows 11 Power Plans | GO-EUC

Hi everyone, I want to check is anyone faces this issue. Again it happened after patching. We are running Omnissa Horizon 2603+DEM+Appvolume+FSLogix (version 2.9 profile+ODFC) on Windows 11 23H2 (we are in a process of testing to upgrade to 25H2) instant clones. We do see now in Teams the following message after September patching. We tried to delete the Teams Cache and all configs no luck. Also if we delete the ODFC container the banner is gone, but it come back on the next login. Same with brand new profile. We also tested on the 25H2 (with FSLogix 26.01 CU1 and 26.08 thinking about outdated 2.9 version) and is happening the same. It seems that Teams is working, but for some reason is not recognizing the Windows edition properly. After checking in the vdi_debud.txt Teams logs it is show up the correct detection of the OS as Windows 11 enterprise. Really not sure why is prompting for server 2025 on Windows 11. I'm using using the script v2 from Koetzing to deploy Teams thru MDT Automated method. Thanks

World of EUC - We gave a taster a few weeks ago, but the details are now LIVE and you can register here. Space is limited though, so be quick and await your confirmation of a ticket to join us on-board! - edci.com/thank-you/world-of-euc-milwaukee-cruise-event

Dumb question, but where does everyone get latest EUC related updates? Anything similar to the newsletter Carl Stalhood used to curate?

So, I quit my EUC job 3 weeks in, due to mental health. 9hrs a day in the office (no wfh) and a build room that's a closet. With managers questioning everything and allowing no flexibility or innovation. Got Autopilot V2 with device association working though. Except, after I left, they don't know how to get it working. Lucky escape maybe. So it's back to the drawing board for me!

See you all next week for those who are attending! There’s still time to join us!

Excited to see everyone later today! 😎

Just thinking out loud: How difficult would it be to change "World of EUC" to just "EUC World"?

Anybody noticing an increase of crashes with Chrome/Edge. Page hang like you access GitHub after a few times. It's quite bad. I use Chrome 32 bits and latest 64 bits Edge

For the folks attending WoEUC Amplify and got a glimpse of my session there, @Julian Mooren just posted this:
