Investigating Bogus Framebuffer Memory Usage with ControlUp
A user reported experiencing strange values in framebuffer memory usage for certain processes in a customer's Citrix environment with NVIDIA L4-4Q. They discovered that this issue can be caused by a broken Citrix XenDesktop graphics driver and was able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the VDA. This issue has also been observed by Microsoft, who have a similar issue with GPU process memory counters reporting incorrect values. A support ticket has been opened for this issue and the ControlUp community has also seen similar cases.

Troubleshooting W365 CPC Integration and Visibility Issues
A group of ControlUp members discuss issues with the integration between W365 CPC and HDX. They note that EdgeDX does not detect brokering of a Cloud PC session, but the current configuration does show access to TURN and use of UDP. The group mentions that this may be due to the VDA configured on the device. There is also mention of potential confusion around which agent to use for the CPC Desktop, and a suggestion to pull a query to track the number of CPCs with a VDA installed and see what is reported. It is noted that there is interest from established enterprises to go this route.
