Workaround

Disable any USB device scanning or blocking software

Uninstall or disable the Landesk agents

Solution

This is more than likely related to the citrixusb driver installation so disable any USB driver or device blocking software.

In our instance (and after much troubleshooting) turns out it was a conflict with the Landesk (blocking USB device insert / install) 9.5 SP2 (“C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\Shared Files\residentAgent.exe” version = 9.0.3.45)

Upgrade Landesk agents to 9.6 SP1

(“C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\Shared Files\residentAgent.exe” version will = 9.60.0.225)

Lock and Windows Security Slow to Appear in XenApp 6.5 desktop session

Clients – Windows XP Thin Client T5740, Receiver 3.1

Servers – Windows 2008 R2, XenApp 6.5

Problem: When end users were selecting the Start> Windows Security or Start > Arrow > Lock option in the desktop menus there is a 10 – 20 second delay before the menu appears. It also affected volume control speed and even the ability to select the Speaker icon on the task bar.

Solution: Microphone redirection. Disable anything to do with microphone redirection and then the menus listed above should then appear instantly.
