Hi.<br />
<br />
It should not be the templates. I have read many threads about this and hardly anyone fond out why, it seems.<br />
Please do the following tests one by one:<br />
<br />
1 delete the profile of a user that has the problem and recreate it - better?<br />
2 if not, create a test domain user in a test OU that gets no user GPOs at all and log on as him - better?<br />
3 if 2 helped, add the user GPOs one by one to that test OU and logoff and on again after each GPO and test.
</div>


<div>
That's what I actually did:<br />
<br />
- Created a separate user<br />
- moved the user and the machine to the fresh OU<br />
- created a new GPO and started adding settings<br />
- with each setting I had to log off/in to test<br />
- I'm recreating a default policy which is applies to all on the domain and that's what's causing a problem; it has just now about 10 settings and already one of them has caused the apps to stop working. <br />
<br />
I'll attach a screen capture to explain.
</div>


<div>
&quot;default policy which is apples to all on the domain&quot; - apples? What do you mean?<br />
Please add the screenshot.<br />
<br />
With only 10 settings, it should be easy to locate the culprit now, shouldn't it?
</div>


<div>
Sorry, auto corrected to &quot;apples&quot;, corrected to &quot;applies&quot;. Also, sample image is now uploaded.
</div>


<div>
Also, this test user is a local admin.

Yes, so far this one is one of the culprits:<br />
Computer Configuration-&gt;Policies-&gt;A<wbr />dmin Templates-&gt;System-&gt;User Profiles-&gt;Delete cached copies of roaming profiles.<br />
<br />
I remember in XP world there used to be a spreadsheet that had a list of all of the settings and explanations. Is there something like that still around? The reason I'm trying to find it is that maybe some settings are not compatible with Windows 10? I'm adding more and testing. Unless I am doing something wrong and should be going about it differently?
</div>


<div>
Don't worry about incompatibilities. Just find out what policy it is and we'll see.<br />
Remove 5 of ten and test. If problem remains, remove another 3 and test. if it remains, remove another two. That way you will get the culprit fast.
</div>


<div>
I appears that the first culprit was related to roaming profiles; we are school and I was wondering if we should steer away from using roaming profiles.
</div>


<div>
Possibly the only culprit. Did you ensure that? We never used roaming profiles

[embed=file 1417420]I’m adding Windows 10 to my domain and I’m noticing apps don’t work when logged in as domain users. They work just fine as local admin. The GPOs worked perfectly for Windows 7. I disabled all, moved the computer and user to a blocked OU. Everything worked. Something is not with the GPOs and tried recreating GPOs. It’s a hit or miss with the settings as I have to log off and test if the apps are still working, frustrating to say the least. Do I need to update my templates to windows 10? The AD servers are Windows Server 2016. <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Windows 10 apps won’t open

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
