How would you resolve this issue?
-
A
Open Services.json, change "VDlState" to "Unchanged" for the missing applications and recreate the image.
-
B
Open AppxPackages.json, change "VDlState" to "Unchanged" for the missing applications and recreate the image.

-
D
Open DefaultUserSettings.json, remove the registry key for each of the missing applications and recreate the image.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A. Changing the "VDlState" to "Unchanged" in the Services.json file will not resolve the issue of missing applications like Windows Calculator and Sticky Notes. This file is related to services, not applications, so modifying it will not bring back the missing apps.
B. Modifying the "VDlState" to "Unchanged" for the missing applications in the AppxPackages.json file is the correct approach to resolve the issue. This file contains information about installed applications, so changing the state to "Unchanged" will ensure that the missing apps are included in the optimized image when it is recreated.
C. The ScheduledTasks.json file is related to scheduled tasks, not applications like Windows Calculator and Sticky Notes. Changing the "VDlState" for missing applications in this file will not address the problem of the apps being missing from the deployed image.
D. Removing the registry key for missing applications in the DefaultUserSettings.json file will not bring back the apps like Windows Calculator and Sticky Notes. This file is related to user settings, not application installation, so modifying it will not resolve the issue of missing applications in the deployed image.
