Office 2016 apps not being displayed for some students

[cheaptonersucks]

Hi,

some students are reporting that office apps such as word etc are not always showing up in the start menu. Logging off resolves it temporarily, but I had half a class with this issue the other day. We are running Windows 10 build 1909 with roaming profiles. Not all students are experiencing this and I haven’t been made aware of any staff that have either. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Roaming profiles are no longer supported. Switch to using local profiles, far fewer problems.

Thanks, we have been looking at moving to local profiles. It’s just finding the time to get it done. Is there a good guide on how to setup local profiles?

Is it just the matter of removing the roaming profile and the local profile will be automatically created?

It's a little more complex, there is a GPO that makes it a lot easier (not needing to edit hundreds of users):

Computer Policy \System\User Profiles\[Only allow local user profiles]

Yes it is difficult to remove 1000 users' profile but it is an option. Is this correct?

Thanks, it will have to be done as roaming profiles seem to be breaking everything! OneDrive does appear for some users in file explorer sometimes! Programs not appearing in the start menu...sometimes...etc etc.
