A typical Citrix environment can be so complex. What might seem like a simple problem in the Citrix Receiver can turn out to be very hard to troubleshoot. For instance, if a user’s Citrix Receiver is not launching applications, you need to consider a number of factors.
Citrix Systems is an American computer software company that was founded in 1989 by Ed Iacobucci. Citrix creates and sells virtualization, cloud computing, networking and SaaS products that aim to provide remote connectivity to workers on a variety of devices.
A lot of the solutions involve editing the Windows Registry—a high-risk operation that, if done wrong, can have serious consequences.
Citrix Receiver not Launching Applications: Misconfigured LogoffCheckSysModules registry value in HKLM
When published applications don’t launch and the user doesn’t see any error message, then admins don’t see any entry that stands out in the Event Log of your Citrix server. One of the places you’ll want to check is the value of LogoffCheckSysModules. This is found in the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCitrixwfshellTWI
The value of this registry key SHOULD NOT contain the executable for the application the user is attempting to launch. If the name of the executable in question is there, create a backup of the registry key and then remove the executable’s name from the key.
Application launch attempts in a published desktop get disconnected
When you attempt to launch a published application from a published desktop, that action may disconnect the session of the published desktop. That’s because Citrix receiver is configured by default to reconnect all open sessions upon launch.
To make the application launch succeed, you need to change the value of the WSCReconnectMode key from 3 to 0 in one of the following:
- 64-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCitrixDazzle
- 32-bit system: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARECitrixDazzle
Application not given enough time to launch
Some launch-related issues occur because certain applications need more time to launch. There are two registry key values you can change that might remedy the problem. Both are in the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCitrixwfshellTWI
The first is LogoffCheckerStartupDelayInSeconds. Try setting this initially to 10 seconds and then increase by 10 seconds until 600 seconds.
The second one is ApplicationLaunchWaitTimeoutMS. Try setting this initially to 10,000 milliseconds and then increase up to 30,000.
Notice that, for these two registry key values alone, much time can be spent trying out different values. And these are just some of the many possible causes why Citrix Receiver is not launching applications.
Citrix Receiver not Launching in Windows 10
Citrix Receiver for Windows 10 has a list of arguably smart features, however there are several issues that constantly pop-up and prevent Citrix Receiver from launching in Windows 10. For instance, launching Citrix with the regular domain user account fails to launch the desktops and applications. If your Citrix Receiver is not launching in Windows 10, mentioned below are the steps you can undertake to fix these errors.
1. Refresh Citrix Receiver applications.
Click on the drop-down next to your name in the upper-right corner of the menu, and click Refresh Apps.
2. Allocate full permissions to the user count being used.
Assign full permissions for the user account under HKEY_USERUSER_SIDSOFTWARECitrix on the client machine.
3. Download the latest available version to prevent compatibility issues.
Navigate to the Citrix Receiver icon >> Advanced Preferences >> About to check the version. Compare it with the latest available version and download a new one if it does not match.
4. Reset the Citrix Receiver if everything else fails. This might cause accounts, apps, and cached files to be removed.
Navigate to Receiver icon >> Advanced Preferences >> Reset Receiver. A prompt appears, asking if you want to reset the receiver. Click Yes, Reset Receiver and type the URL remote.ptlgateway.net in the popup box that appears next. Enter your credentials again.
Applications not launching on Apple Safari 12
Citrix Workspace 2005 Download
Apple has removed the support for NPAPI, hence Citrix applications now fail to launch in Apple Safari 12. This problem can be solved by carrying out some changes in the server side or the client side. You can modify the web config under the Receiver for Web (RfWeb) site in the server. The client-side change includes enabling the Develop tab at the Safari menu, using which the Safari cache and all Safari Windows are closed prior to starting Safari to browse the Storefront’s receiver.
Avoid Citrix receiver not launching applications issues for good with Parallels RAS
To avoid Citrix Receiver application launch issues for good, shift to Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS). Parallels RAS is a virtual application and desktop delivery solution with a much simpler architecture. Complex issues like those mentioned above are eliminated from the client-side and can usually be addressed by simply reinstalling or restarting the Parallels Client. In addition, users can also switch to the HTML5 Client until any issue is resolved.
Don’t just take our word for it—try it out yourself. Download your 30-day Parallels RAS trial now and say goodbye to all your application launch issues.

Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly WinFrame, MetaFrame, Presentation Server and XenApp) is application virtualizationsoftware produced by Citrix Systems that allows Windows applications to be accessed via individual devices from a shared server or cloud system.
Product overview[edit]
Citrix Virtual Apps is application virtualization software that delivers centrally-hosted Windows applications to local devices without the necessity of installing them.[1] It is the flagship product for Citrix and was formerly known under the names WinFrame, MetaFrame, and Presentation Server.[2]
Citrix Virtual Apps software uses FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA), a proprietary architecture for Citrix virtualization products.[2] It delivers individual applications, as opposed to entire desktops, to devices.[3] It is also used with Citrix Workspace to deliver apps as part of a complete virtual desktop environment.[4]
With Citrix Virtual Apps, Windows applications can be used on devices that typically could not run them, including Macintosh computers, mobile devices, GoogleChromebooks, and Linux computers.[5][6] Conversely, it enables otherwise incompatible apps to run on Windows desktops.[7]
Citrix Virtual Apps is accessed on all devices via Citrix Receiver.[5] The software can be delivered from on-premises data centers[6] or public, private, or hybrid clouds.[3][4]
History[edit]
The precursor to Virtual Apps was called WinFrame, a multi-useroperating system based on Windows NT 3.51.[8] Released in 1995, WinFrame was one of the first products distributed by Citrix.[2] At this stage of the product development Citrix Systems licensed the Windows NT 3.51 base operating system from Microsoft. The core development that Citrix delivered was the MultiWin engine. This allowed multiple users to logon and execute applications on a WinFrame server. Citrix was to later license the MultiWin technology to Microsoft, forming the basis of Microsoft's Terminal Services.
Repackaged versions of Windows 95, with Citrix WinFrame Client included, were also available from Citrix.

MetaFrame superseded WinFrame in 1998. The product was renamed several times: it became MetaFrame XP in 2002, MetaFrame XP Presentation Server in 2003, and then was rebranded as Presentation Server in 2005.[2] Each of these products focused on remote access of applications and server-based computing.[8]
In 2008, the product was renamed XenApp. The 'Xen' was taken from the company's acquisition of XenSource in 2007.[1]
Between 2010 and 2012, Citrix issued two updates of XenApp. XenApp 6 launched in 2010 and included a new central management console called AppCenter.[9] In 2012, XenApp 6.5 was released and this update included a new feature called Instant App Access, which aimed to reduce application launch time.[7]
In 2013, version 7.0 was released.[3] This update combined XenDesktop and XenApp into one application called XenDesktop under the Flex Management Architecture (FMA).[3] Prior to this, all versions of XenApp used the company's Independent Management Architecture (IMA).[2] In 2014, version 7.5 was released as XenApp, separate from XenDesktop, but it was also built on FMA.[2][3]
In 2018, XenApp was rebranded Citrix Virtual Apps.[10]
