    We are experimenting with publishing apps, Vmware as a broker and over PCoIP as protocol.

    Behavior:

    Launch Word – launches fine but cannot minimize it to the task bar. When you do, you don’t see the desktop of the thin client – just black window.

    If you press Ctrl+Alt+ down arrow you can see the desktop and Word minimized on the taskbar.

    If you launch Powerpoint, it launches but it doesn’t create another “tab” on the taskbar – you have to click on the “Word 2016” to display Powerpoint. Basically everything you launch is “stacked” into the same tab on the task bar. Does not create separate windows or tabs for applications.

    Grouping sessions is disabled. Latest 8.6_27 firmware.

    We also see the following message (screenshot):

    • PCoIP: Connecting to “Powerpoint 2016” …
    • Horizon: not found application session window!

    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

    We use WMS (cloud based) so I exported the ini from the thin client itself. If there is a better way I’d be happy to try it. (sanitized a few fields like password and domain name)

    I have checked and seamless mode is not supported. Therefore, all sessions will run on a black, hidden Windows Server desktop.

    Thank you very much for looking into this. Saved me sinking more hours of futile further attempts.

    Just for posterity – this is what you are referring to (it’s from the 8.6 admin guide):
