    This is horrible. I run several different environments of VMware Instant Clone VDIs and use the SetUserFTA to help a users default browser and other file extension defaults to persist for a user from session to session on a non-persistent VDI. Now it’s broken.

    Thanks a lot Microsoft. 😤

      I said literally like two days ago “fine then; keep using windows until they take a feature you rely on and all your data is either gone, or trapped in an impenetrably useless shell”

      Theres no practical value to being right, but fsmn does it feel good.

      Uh, sorry about your shit. If you want to still have your computer in a year; switch to linux

        We have 80,000 people that work for my company. That’s not going to happen. Now we have 10,000 VMs running a combination of Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, and Centos. But our employees choose the OS they want to run on their own work devices whether it be Linux, MacOS, or Windows and no way is everyone is going to Linux, even if that is my own OS of choice. Especially the C-Level and board member types.

          Well, back up all their shit and have a compatible open source alternative on the table, for the day it suddenly dies.

        How do you know if someone is a bisexual vegan economics major who uses Linux? They’ve already told you.

          How do you know if someone has never eaten a vegetable? They won’t shut the fuck up about vegans. Same for windows fanboys, etc.

        We are using Instant Clones. It’s a non-persistent Virtual Desktop.

        We want to give our users the choice and then be able to persist those choices. Not force them to use just one option with a GPO that defines what they have to use.

        SetUserFTA and Dynamic Environment Manager allowed it until the last Windows CU came along…

            We do: Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. That’s not the problem.

            The problem is with Microsofts new driver we can’t allow users to set the default browser in their VMwaee Instant Clone using SetUserFTA via Dynamic Environment Manager.

      Awesome tool, that one. Not often we use it (and usually inside a virtual application environment), but it’s great to rely on…
