No answer for you, but if you give this a try you'll not regret it: If you want to cut on costs, make your work way easier AND be prepared for the future (Cloud + MSIX support PLUS auto conversion appv to MSIX) I'd say; pick 2 hrs and give @Bram Wolfs his Appventix a try. It's easy to install/upgrade, only needs 2 shares or blop storage and it has many more benefits (PVS integration, AVD, etc etc).

Could not agree more ^^

have you checked the scheduled tasks to make sure that the its not being applied by a script. A couple of jobs ago we used that method to set the publishing server. I'm not sure why upgrading a vda would stop that from running but perhaps its an area you've not checked yet for the data? From memory though I think the upgrade of the app-v component isn't far off an uninstall/reinstall and the citrix component is probably cleared the data for use with the studio features.

Appventix is App-V scheduler isnt it (New name) if so yes i used it in past and indeed it does rock
