The default for 7.6 and later versions is 180 seconds (the default for 7.0-7.5 is 90 seconds). If a desktop VDA closes before the logon process completes, you can allocate more time to the process. Note: Start with 100000 milliseconds (I choose 70K ms) and move up from there to 300000 milliseconds if needed.ĭesktop VDAs have an additional registry value that can be tweaked. Note: Start with 10 seconds and move up from there 10 seconds at a time if needed. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI For example, if you are publishing Explorer, then Explorer will not launch unless LogoffCheckerStartupDelayInSeconds is set to 10 seconds (hexadecimal) or higher.

There are a couple registry values that can be tweaked to give the application more time to launch. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved.

WARNING! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Taking a snapshot of the VDA is not a bad idea. You need to perform these changes on one VDA first, put the rest of the machine on the maintenance mode to test and verify the results. You should ensure the Citrix Receiver or Citrix Workspace app is not running in the background, and then go to the Applications of your Mac.
#CITRIX ON MAC OPENING APPS OPENS THE DESKTOP FOR MAC#
If you see any of the above issues then the following setting should fix the session load VDA end issues. Citrix Receiver for Mac version was superseded by Citrix Workspace app starting from the August of 2018. If you see Remote Desktop took too long to load then it means your session is not getting enough time to load the app and it needs more time to successfully load profile/session before projecting to the client machines.

The issue can present 2 different symptoms: There are no errors presented to the user, Event Log of the XenApp server or VDA hosting the application reports the following “EventID:20499 – Remote Desktop Services took too long to load the user configuration from server for the user XYZ”. Published Applications or Desktops don’t launch, or disappear during launch.
