RDS not saving user customizations at log off
On a new 2016 RDS deployment, I have an issue where any customization made by a user is lost when they sign off.
Examples:
user pins outlook to taskbar, it's gone the next time they log in
all plugins to google are gone
desktop icons 'referesh' as if windows is just seeing everything for the first time
We are using User Profile Disks.
I originally had selected 'store all user settings and data on the user profile disk'
I've since tried moving to 'store only the following folders' and un-checking 'roaming user profile data' and 'user registry data'
Nothing seems to work and I can't figure out why this data is not being saved.

Hi,
Check in regedit the following DWORD "NoSaveSettings" in right-side pane under following keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Softwa
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Softwa
Do they have value 1?

The dword of "NoSaveSettings" does not exist anywhere in the registry.
Additionally, these keys did not exist
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Softwa
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Softwa

Found that un-checking 'roaming user profile data' and 'user registry data' from the profile disk was causing the issue. once this was put back in place, the issue was resolved for everything but Chrome extensions.
Corrected the ability for chrome extension install but adding the following batch file to GPO
md C:\Temp\%USERNAME%
setx TEMP C:\Temp\%USERNAME%
setx TMP C:\Temp\%USERNAME%

Check that you are not using domain guest? This behavior is typical of this account.
