I had the following issue with an Enterprise Studio App-V package: users reported they where no longer able to add a storage place.

I’ve recently started looking for a way to boost performance of our VDI environment. One aspect of the performance degradation is that the User Settings stored by Ivanti Workspace Control are taking their sweet time to load.
