Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2311 includes the following fixed issues:

General

  • The name of the audio devices is truncated to 32 characters while passing from the Citrix Workspace app to VDA. As a result, the device might not be recognized in the client session by some apps. [HDX-53084]
  • After visiting a browser content redirected site, if you sign out from the user session, an error message might appear. As a workaround, ignore the error message. [HDX-54552]
  • The Allow applications to use the physical location of the client device policy that is used to enable location access to the client is broken. [HDX-47197]
  • If you migrate from on-premises to Cloud environments using Automated Configuration tool (ACT), then User Logoff Notifications data in Manage Autoscale interface changes to Send logoff reminders without forcing user logoff after migration is complete. To resolve the issue, download the latest version of ACT from Automated Configuration for Virtual Apps and Desktops.

Citrix Policy

  • When you select a user from Citrix Group Policy Modelling Wizard and choose the Skip to the final page of the wizard without collecting additional data option, this error message might appear on the Summary page:

    Value cannot be null. Parameter name key

    [CVADHELP-23211]

  • After a profile reset, folder redirection might fail intermittently. [CVADHELP-23397]

Delivery Controller

  • Certain Citrix XML performance counters might not be added to the performance monitor graph. [CVADHELP-21785]

  • The published resources might fail to enumerate when the password field is empty. [CVADHELP-23948]

Graphics

  • Webcams in double-hop sessions don’t work as expected. This issue occurs when you use any of the following clients to launch virtual desktops or applications from within a virtual desktop session. [HDX-47317]

    • Citrix Workspace app for Windows
    • Citrix Workspace app for Linux
    • Citrix Workspace app for Mac

  • Webcam redirection might fail for some applications on Windows Virtual Desktop Agent. [HDX-56620]

  • Setting the policy View window contents while dragging to Prohibited does not work on ESXi and Hyper-V. [HDX-22002]

  • If you press the ALT+TAB keys in a session, Graphics Status Indicator appears as an app. If you click on the app, a gray window appears without any buttons. Hence, you cannot close the window properly. If you close it via ALT+F4, Graphics Status Indicator is closed and not available during the session. [HDX-58242]

HDX USB devices

  • Bloomberg Keyboard 5 Biometric Module might fail to connect automatically even when automatic redirection of client USB devices is on. [CVADHELP-22673]

Machine Creation Services

  • The PowerShell command Remove-ProvVM with ForgetVM parameter might not function correctly if the Delivery Controller and remote PowerShell versions are not compatible. This implies that the Delivery Controller and remote PowerShell versions must be both earlier than 2212, or 2212 or later. For example, if the Delivery Controller version is later than 2212 and the remote PowerShell version is earlier than 2212, then the Remove-ProvVM command with ForgetVM parameter does not function as expected. As a workaround, download the latest PowerShell version to work with the latest Delivery controller version. [PMCS-40278]

Metainstaller

  • Attempt to upgrade Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops from version 1912 LTSR to version 2305 or 2203 LTSR might fail with this error message: We have discovered unsupported configuration. [CVADHELP-23760]

  • The Print Spooler service might exit unexpectedly while printing a file using Citrix Universal Print Server. [CVADHELP-23548]
  • The Citrix Universal Print Server might not work as expected when you remove the Everyone group from the printer security permissions. [CVADHELP-23653]

Client

  • HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS driver installed as described in the Knowledge Center article CTX140208, might be uninstalled during VDA upgrade. [CVADHELP-23628]
