@ncbrady @manelrodero @JenMsft Re: win32 vs UWP apps … that isn’t always the case … not sure what causes the nuances. It’s a hard issue to describe but easily reproduced.

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@ncbrady @manelrodero @JenMsft for me, this only happens when there are exe files on the desktop (w/OneDrive KFM). There is no correlation between the exe and the missing icons in the taskbar/file explorer. UWP apps in the taskbar render icons correctly. Seems Win32 apps are the ones whose icons go missing.

Are some of your icons not showing properly on your Windows 11 taskbar ? try this, it worked for me! > https://t.co/zocJB2L6n5 #Windows11 thanks to Andrew (@Blurn) for the tip

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@ncbrady Oohh, that’s interesting. I wonder if offline files plays a part in this. This one drove me insane. I think I kept CMTrace.exe and https://t.co/OgNjH2Zb3J cli on my desktop for convenience… ended up moving them. Hope this ends up helping you!

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@ncbrady I think rebooting after the .exe on the desktop is removed gets all of your icons back. It’s a weird bug and I have no idea where to start to get it reported.

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@ncbrady Do you have a .exe on your desktop? If so, do you use OneDrive known folder mover (desktop synced to OneDrive)? We have this happen and deleting the .exe from the desktop resolves.

@MikeDanoski Surprisingly, no, at least not where I work. I wonder if the thresholds for notifications are public. I think it has to follow you for some time before notifying you. I bet student to student would be more common.

@richardhicks @jgkps I think the ‘Troubleshooting + support’ page (last option on the admin center sidebar) has a feature that lets you enter a user, or device, and see policies that are assigned to them (plus more).

@acjuelich No, single campus with fast internet/lots of bandwidth… haven’t seen any disadvantages yet…unsure what the benefits would help with.

@NathanMcNulty @richardhicks @sebawern Workaround I am referring to: https://t.co/5HIPYiN4mi

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@NathanMcNulty @richardhicks @sebawern As someone that has worked around the NPS limitations, I would very much recommend what Nathan is suggesting. The workaround works well with the new SID ext and SAN, still, I feel like its a timebomb. Will prob move away from NPS for that…plus it reduces reliance on our NPS/ADCS

[Andrew Blackburn @Blurn]

@acjuelich Yeah, that said, I think most motherboards use AMI BIOS/UEFI which works with this tool. I haven’t run into any that have issues and we’ve used MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, and ASRock. I bet if the tool can read the SMBIOS without issue, it can also program it.
