Here is a quick look at what´s new in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops – CVAD 7 2103 release. Citrix CVAD 7 2103 of the Windows single-session OS and multi-session OS VDAs includes the following enhancements.
This release provides new features including HDX enhancements such as the Graphics Quality Slider, a feature that was a key request from several customers of graphically intensive design applications. With this feature, users can toggle between having their Citrix sessions focused more on performance or image quality, based on their use case.
The HDX team at Citrix has in the CVAD 7 2103 is now introducing Rendezvous Proxy support for UDP. They also continue to make enhancements for their Citrix user base leveraging Linux VDAs. This release will feature Debian 10 support, as well as allowing admins to now use a single Linux VDA image for the domain mode they choose to use (whether it is domain joined or non-domain joined).
Additional improvements in the CVAD 7 2103 release include feature enhancements to Session Recording, Workspace Environment Management, and the Citrix Workspace app, particularly support for Apple’s Silicon M1 Chip.
SOCKS5 proxy support for Rendezvous connections
The VDA in CVAD 7 2103, now supports SOCKS5 proxies to establish a Rendezvous connection. When you use a non-transparent proxy in your network, you can specify either the address of the proxy or the path to the PAC file. For more information, see Rendezvous proxy configuration.
New browser content redirection policy setting
The new Browser content redirection server fetch web proxy authentication setting in CVAD 7 2103, lets you route HTTP traffic originating at an overlay through a downstream web proxy. The downstream web proxy authorizes and authenticates HTTP traffic using the VDA user’s domain credentials through the Negotiate authentication scheme. For more information, see Browser content redirection server fetch web proxy authentication setting.
Optimization of webcam video streaming
Citrix Workspace App Apple M1
HDX webcam compression no longer requires the VDA to encode, transcode, and decode H.264 video resources. By default, the server streams video directly to the video conferencing applications running in the virtual session. To disable this feature, see HDX webcam video compression.
Graphics status indicator update
New functionality has been added to the graphics status indicator, including a quality slider.
Windows Image Acquisition scanner redirection update
An allow list has been added to give administrators control over which applications on the VDA are allowed access to Windows Image Acquisition scanner redirection. The allow list is input using the registry on each VDA where Windows Image Acquisition is used. By default, no applications have access to Windows Image Acquisition.
To adjust Windows Image Acquisition for applications on the VDA:
- In Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrix.
- Right-click and select New > Key.
- Rename the new key to WIAAllowedProcesses.
- Select WIAAllowedProcesses.
- Right-click and select New > Multi-String Value.
- Rename the new value to AllowProcesses.
- Double-click AllowProcesses.
- Enter the full path and process name for each application that is allowed to access Windows Image Acquisition. Each application must be on a new line.
Any changes are available next time a session is launched on the VDA.
Keyboard enhancements for Russian language
This release addresses keyboard issues for Russian language.
Citrix Web Studio now generally available!
Citrix has also announced that all Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service customers now have access to the new Citrix Web Studio!
With the new Citrix Web Studio, they claim to see 15 percent faster interactions across the board compared to the previous Studio console. Customers in their preview have seen performance gains of up to 2x. They’ve also introduced new features, such as machine restart schedules. The feature was built for scenarios where the restart schedules can be set around end user’s usage patterns instead of rigid restarts based on set times.

A typical Citrix environment can be so complex. What might seem like a simple problem in the Citrix Receiver can turn out to be very hard to troubleshoot. For instance, if a user’s Citrix Receiver is not launching applications, you need to consider a number of factors.
A lot of the solutions involve editing the Windows Registry—a high-risk operation that, if done wrong, can have serious consequences.
Citrix Receiver not Launching Applications: Misconfigured LogoffCheckSysModules registry value in HKLM
When published applications don’t launch and the user doesn’t see any error message, then admins don’t see any entry that stands out in the Event Log of your Citrix server. One of the places you’ll want to check is the value of LogoffCheckSysModules. This is found in the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCitrixwfshellTWI
The value of this registry key SHOULD NOT contain the executable for the application the user is attempting to launch. If the name of the executable in question is there, create a backup of the registry key and then remove the executable’s name from the key.
Application launch attempts in a published desktop get disconnected
When you attempt to launch a published application from a published desktop, that action may disconnect the session of the published desktop. That’s because Citrix receiver is configured by default to reconnect all open sessions upon launch.
To make the application launch succeed, you need to change the value of the WSCReconnectMode key from 3 to 0 in one of the following:
- 64-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCitrixDazzle
- 32-bit system: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARECitrixDazzle
Application not given enough time to launch
Some launch-related issues occur because certain applications need more time to launch. There are two registry key values you can change that might remedy the problem. Both are in the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCitrixwfshellTWI
The first is LogoffCheckerStartupDelayInSeconds. Try setting this initially to 10 seconds and then increase by 10 seconds until 600 seconds.
The second one is ApplicationLaunchWaitTimeoutMS. Try setting this initially to 10,000 milliseconds and then increase up to 30,000.
Notice that, for these two registry key values alone, much time can be spent trying out different values. And these are just some of the many possible causes why Citrix Receiver is not launching applications.
Citrix Receiver not Launching in Windows 10
Citrix Receiver for Windows 10 has a list of arguably smart features, however there are several issues that constantly pop-up and prevent Citrix Receiver from launching in Windows 10. For instance, launching Citrix with the regular domain user account fails to launch the desktops and applications. If your Citrix Receiver is not launching in Windows 10, mentioned below are the steps you can undertake to fix these errors.
1. Refresh Citrix Receiver applications.
Click on the drop-down next to your name in the upper-right corner of the menu, and click Refresh Apps.
2. Allocate full permissions to the user count being used.
Assign full permissions for the user account under HKEY_USERUSER_SIDSOFTWARECitrix on the client machine.
3. Download the latest available version to prevent compatibility issues.
Navigate to the Citrix Receiver icon >> Advanced Preferences >> About to check the version. Compare it with the latest available version and download a new one if it does not match.
4. Reset the Citrix Receiver if everything else fails. This might cause accounts, apps, and cached files to be removed.
Navigate to Receiver icon >> Advanced Preferences >> Reset Receiver. A prompt appears, asking if you want to reset the receiver. Click Yes, Reset Receiver and type the URL remote.ptlgateway.net in the popup box that appears next. Enter your credentials again.
Applications not launching on Apple Safari 12
Apple has removed the support for NPAPI, hence Citrix applications now fail to launch in Apple Safari 12. This problem can be solved by carrying out some changes in the server side or the client side. You can modify the web config under the Receiver for Web (RfWeb) site in the server. The client-side change includes enabling the Develop tab at the Safari menu, using which the Safari cache and all Safari Windows are closed prior to starting Safari to browse the Storefront’s receiver.
Avoid Citrix receiver not launching applications issues for good with Parallels RAS
To avoid Citrix Receiver application launch issues for good, shift to Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS). Parallels RAS is a virtual application and desktop delivery solution with a much simpler architecture. Complex issues like those mentioned above are eliminated from the client-side and can usually be addressed by simply reinstalling or restarting the Parallels Client. In addition, users can also switch to the HTML5 Client until any issue is resolved.
