It works fine , but the Start Menu layout is then filled with missing applcations as shown in the following screenshot : And it will be looking like this for each new user logging-in […]
An interesting script from Technet forums to remove Windows 10 Bulit-in Apps and Windows Store for a corporate build :

Sacha Thomet who was one of my competitors for the “Geekovation” contest at Synergy (he won!) wrote a PVS documentation script (http://blog.appcloud.ch/citrix-pvs-healthcheck/).

NOTE: Very important!! If you do this to a XD/XA gateway – all users connected through […]
