About this tag
Non persistent VDI environments on Windows 11 have been significantly impacted by a provisioning-time regression introduced with July 2025 cumulative updates. This regression causes core shell components—Start menu, Taskbar, File Explorer, and Settings—to fail initialization due to XAML package registration failures. The issue primarily affects first sign-in scenarios and non persistent virtual desktop infrastructure, where user profiles are not retained between sessions. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem in advisory KB5072911 and provided temporary mitigations while a permanent fix is developed. IT administrators managing non persistent VDI deployments should review these workarounds to minimize operational disruption.
