Description

Black screen after Welcome Screen when launching Desktop VDA. Usually occurs on 1st Logon, when no existing profile exists.

Resolution

  • To remove the black screen ensure  "Show First-Logon-Animation" group policy  is enabled so that the user will see the animation and not a black screen.

Problem Cause

  • This is expected behavior when the policy is disabled. Microsoft must be engaged if solution is required instead of workaround.
  • On this current issue we are investigating : Microsoft policy makes the ICA session show a black screen when logon to an account for the first time. 
  • This behaviour is expected if "Show First-Logon-Animation" GPO is disabled.
