Resolution

[Workaround]
 
The issue could be resolved by deleting records in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\. 

Note: This issue was caused that there are a huge number of records under this registry path, so gpedit process maybe hang once you try to enter it.

Alternatively, You can use the below command to delete all records on the VDA,

REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedServices\Configurable\System" /f 

IMPORTANT: Back up the registry before you implement any change in it.

[Solution]
 
1. Enable UPM policy  “delete locally cached profiles on logoff” 
2. Add registry key :
 
Path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedServices\Configurable\System
Type: DWORD
Key name: DeleteUserAppContainersOnLogoff
Value: 1
 
Alternatively, You can use the below command to delete all records on the VDA,
Reg add ”HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedServices\Configurable\System“ /v DeleteUserAppContainersOnLogoff /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
