Quick Desktop Launch Support

Supported on: All Citrix Workspace supported platforms

Description

Registry

HKLM SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\Dazzle

Value name: QuickDesktopLaunchSupport

Enabled: QuickDesktopLaunchSupport = true

Disabled: QuickDesktopLaunchSupport = false

REG Builder

BETA

Configure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.

These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
