Windows 10: Latest update -- Citrix receiver Breaks.

Hi there

When I need to logon to several clients computers remotely I use the Citrix receiver software (Yes I know not the best solution for VPN's / VDI's but that's not my call).

Latest (Windows -- not the Citrix package) update -- start the receiver program - but nothing appears -- it never starts.

Before update -- works fine.

Citrix also have an update but didn't make any difference.

Probably a problem that very few on this board use but it's an annoyance -- the client's I.T help desk was as helpful as they could be but most of their "Permanent" employees using company supplied laptops are on W7 Enterprise.

I'm external and using my own laptop - I've even tested it disabling firewalls and sharing every possible directory etc on my system so it's not "permissions" etc. -- Citrix just never starts.

I've set up a W10 VM with the previous version (of Windows before latest update) running as OS - and temporarily disabled updates. Citrix is working fine on that. No prob whatsoever !!!! - Even works when W10 VM with that version is run on a Linux Host (technically Citrix not supported for this) but also works 100%. !!!!!!

Perhaps W10 Pro isn't quite ready for Prime time Enterprise use -- it's usually in things like networking where I have my main problems with Windows.

Anybody else on these Forums who logon on to a clients site remotely via Citrix receiver having problems with W10 - or even if it works OK -- please post your config etc.

Note that current Citrix also requires IE11 so I can't run on Firefox or other browsers for this application.

I don't want to have to rely on using VM's for accessing my clients network !!! as if there are any problems their I.T help desk won't be able to do anything - and I don't want to go back to installing W7 on the laptop.

Cheers
jimbo

Citrix receiver stopped working with latest update

I recommend you rollback then block the update. If you decide to upgrade, backup first, update Citrix then attempt the upgrade.

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Recovery > under Go back to my previous version of Windows 10, click Get started.

Press Control + Alt + Delete

Click Sign out

At the Sign In screen, hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Power button on the screen

Continue to hold down the shift key while clicking Restart

Continue to hold down the shift key until the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears

Click Troubleshoot

Click Advanced options

Click Go back to the previous version of Windows

Here is how you can block the upgrade if you rather not install it:

Citrix receiver stopped working with latest update

Thursday I updated my computer with the latest windows 10 update. Afterward my CITRIX receiver stopped working ( I need this to access my work virtual desktop) I got an message saying to uninstall and install he latest version which I did. Then it said
I should install Mozilla which I did. Then it kept saying I should install Mozilla so I uninstalled the Mozilla and the CITRIX again but the CITRIX will not fully uninstall. I get a message saying view log and contact help desk. CITRIX will not help me
and my employer will not assist us on our personal computers.
