Hi,
I saw that there is a update for the version 2009.
whats-new
Unfortunately, this doesn’t solve the problem either.
Best regards

FsLogix - Unclean logoff causing locked files until server reboot

Problem is described by M4deman under unclean-logoff-causing-locked-files-until-server-reboot
It seems to have something to do with the 2009 version.
The latest version of FSLogix is installed whats-new
Description
After a user logoff, the "System" Process (PID 4) locks the following folders:
C:\Users\local_username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials
C:\Users\local_username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials
The user is completely logged of, according to Task Manager.
In the FSLogix Profile Log file I can see the following:
[07:53:55.601][tid:00000c90.0000ce44][ERROR:00000020] Delete profile failed for sid S-1-5-21-3364776539-3721753400-1968955100-1179, Cleaning up manually. (Der Prozess kann nicht auf die Datei zugreifen, da sie von einem anderen Prozess verwendet wird.)
The last sentence means that the process cannot access the file, because another process already uses it.
Also the whole "local_username" folder cannot be deleted:
[08:23:15.479][tid:00000c90.0000bcc4][WARN: 00000005] Failed to delete C:\Users\local_usename (Access is denied)
Access Denied
Does someone have any info on this behaviour?

Did you check affected user has full control and Owner over their FSLogix Folder and the VHDX files ?
Thanks

sorry I was going to delete my comment as it wasn't helpful, and your comment is below mine, so it seems they were deleted together. I want to restore but it doesn't has this option.
FSLogix is supported for use with versions of Windows and Office that are still included in the Microsoft Support Lifecycle.

Germain 11 Reputation points2021-02-19T11:44:10.117+00:00 We are currently experiencing the same issue. The user VHDX is locked by system and can only be unlocked by rebooting the server.
Has Microsoft acknowledged this issue?Currently using: 2.9.7654.46150

Bracko Ewald 31 Reputation points2021-02-19T12:10:09.137+00:00 Did you activate the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Apps\CleanupInvalidSessions (REG_DWORD, 0x1)?
Do you use Cloud Cache or not?Also, maybe you can check with the frx command line tool if there are still some redirects pointing to the use VHDX file. You can then use that tool to delete them manually and detach the VHDX files afterwards using diskpart.

Marius Neuhaus 1 Reputation point2021-03-09T10:31:38.737+00:00 Hello,
we have the same problem.
We use on-premise terminalserver.:
Windows Server 2019
Citrix 1912 CU2 LTSR
FSLogix 2.9.7621.30127I've tried the CleanupInvalidSessions RegKey, but it doesn't effect.
We don't use Cloud Cache.
FSLogix Configuration only local and not per gpo.
The frx command line tool dont show redirects pointing to the use VHDX file.
Permission are set correct. Users work correctly with the containers.
Luckily the problem occurs only randomly and not at every logoff.In the FSLogix Configuration we include the group domain-users and exclude the domain-administrators.
Could it be a Problem?Best Regards,
Marius -

itsupport 1 Reputation point2021-05-26T12:40:37.147+00:00 When this happens are you left with multiple <USERNAME>.original folders? I've seen it go as high as <USERNAME>.original11 before I just manually delete all the folders.

Farooq 5 Reputation points2024-02-14T12:02:36.9533333+00:00 We are having the same issue. We have an RDS environment and time to time users get logged in with Temporary profile, when I check the FSlogix logs I am seeing the following error - Failed to open virtual disk: \server\Profiles\S-1-5-21-26711-2174_user\Profile_user.vhd (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)
What we done to try resolve this or at least try find the cause and reduce downtime is, we have removed AV from all RDS host, we have created a script which logs out all users at midnight but issue is still occurring. We have a case opened with Microsoft but unfortunately there has been no resolution. Another issue we had is where users could not sign into their Outlook, teams, Office profile on the host. Has anyone else experiencing this issue and has anyone managed to resolve this? Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.

I found Marco's article describing the same problem.
He also confirms the problem with the new version of FSLogix

2021-01-15T15:23:03.35+00:00 Hi there,
Thanks to everyone for the answers.
@ KarlieWeng-MSFT:
- We only used FSLogix on Windows 2019 RDS server.
- Software is only installed with admin users.
- I already know the article. It also happens to users with a new profile.
- The error with the GPO occurs when the folders described above are blocked by "System" or "lsass.exe". Only a restart releases the folder again. Then the logon works without any problems. Even several days ...
@ FredrikEndresen-9130:
We do not use a GPO to distribute or configure the groups. I do this manually for each RDS server.Thanks

Fredrik Endresen 96 Reputation points2021-01-15T13:11:34.21+00:00 Check your GPO settings that defines the local FSLogix include\exclude groups.
FSLogix now uses the SID of the local include\exclude groups. So if the GPO is set up to "replace" instead of "update", it will stop working after a gpupdate within users session. This because the local groups get recreated and get new SIDs.
This may cause the problem you describe.

2021-01-15T08:27:39.347+00:00 Fix: The Group Policy Client Service Failed the Logon
"Therefore this error is caused by a group policy that fails to respond or if it stops running. This could be due to bad registry calls or a corrupt registry. Usually, this is caused by system updates and upgrades that might mess with the registry. A bad shutdown or startup process can also cause this issue.
This can also happen when you try to logon using a non admin account in a PC that had some applications or drivers that were installed with admin privileges before. "
FAQ: FSLogix Troubleshooting Guide
"Some registry settings cannot be set through a GPO as they need to be read too early in the boot process that a GPO can’t set them early enough."
