HotFix Released: App-V Applications worked in win 10 1607 fails in win 10 1703

Many packages that completely worked in inbox App-V in windows 10 1607 failed after upgrading to windows 10 1703. The reason for failure is due to Microsoft changed the way to load registries in containers CREG instead of usual virtual registry VREG.

There was a temporary fix which was available and Roy Essers posted it in twitter a long back.
It was adding the below registry entry manually in the 1703/1709 machines.


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Compatibility]
"RegistryCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001





This issue is fixed in windows 10 1703 with the new hotfix released.

We can clearly see that they have made use of the temporary fix to change the registry virtualization to use the VREG instead of the modern CREG that was mentioned earlier to permanently fix this issue.



Apart from the registry fix, this update also fixes many other App-V issues which can bee seen below.




This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update.
