Assigned desktop power management

Power status

The desktop tile may displays the power status if:

  • The machine catalog has a single-session OS where the Desktop Experience is set to Connect to the same (static) desktop each time the users log in..
  • The machine catalogue must be configured as power managed.
  • The machine is published by Citrix DaaS. It is not currently available for desktops published by Citrix Virtual Apps™ and Desktops.
  • App protection is not enabled for the desktop.

Screenshot of machine powered on

The following power statuses may be displayed:

  • Powered off: The machine has been shut down and is not currently running.

  • In hibernation: The machine is in a hibernation state, where its current session is saved to disk, and the machine is using minimal power.

  • Powering on: A machine that was in the Powered Off or In hibernation has been recently started but is not yet ready to use.

  • Powered on: The desktop is active and running. With dedicated resources, the power state typically remains in a “Powered On” state even if the user disconnects from their session.

  • Shutting down: The user has initiated a shut down.

The status is refreshed every two minutes or when the user clicks the ellipsis menu on the desktop tile. When the user hovers over the power state it displays when the last refresh occurred.

Known issues

  • When you launch one of multiple power-managed desktops, Workspace might show inconsistent power statuses for the other desktops until the first desktop completes launching. [WSUI-10870]
