Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, formerly known as Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops (EVD), is a new Remote Desktop Session Host that allows multiple concurrent interactive sessions, which previously only Windows Server could do. This capability gives users a familiar Windows 10 experience while IT can benefit from the cost advantages of multi-session and use existing per-user Windows licensing instead of RDS Client Access Licenses (CALs). For more information about licenses and pricing, see [Windows Virtual Desktop pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/virtual-desktop/).

## Why do my apps disappear after I sign out?
71+
72+
This happens because you're using Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session with a profile management solution like FSLogix. Your admin or profile solution configured your system to delete user profiles when users sign out. This configuration means that when your system deletes your user profile after you sign out, it also removes any apps you installed during your session. If you want to keep the apps you installed, you'll need to ask your admin to provision these apps for all users in your Windows Virtual Desktop environment.

74+
## How do I make sure apps don't disappear when users sign out?
75+
76+
Most virtualized environments are configured by default to prevent users from installing additional apps to their profiles. If you want to make sure an app doesn't disappear when your user signs out of Windows Virtual Desktop, you have to provision that app for all user profiles in your environment. For more information about provisioning apps, check out these resources:

## How do I make sure users don't download and install apps from the Microsoft Store?
83+
84+
You can disable the Microsoft Store app to make sure users don't download extra apps beyond the apps you've already provisioned for them.
85+
86+
To disable the Store app:
87+
88+
1. Create a new Group Policy.
89+
2. Select **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components**.
90+
3. Select **Store**.
91+
4. Select **Store Application**.
92+
5. Select **Disabled**, then select **OK**.
