Re-Install Client Application

4. Run the Citrix Uninstall Cleaner found at, https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX137494.
5. Restart PC.
6. Install Citrix Workplace.
   Must use Run as Administrator as there may be C++ libraries that require updating, and these can only be updated with elevated permissions.

Windows Install Self-Check

1. From an elevated command prompt, run SFC /SCANNOW.
2. Restart PC.

Remove "Ghost" Printers

Basically, any non-functioning printer. They will have messages like, "Driver not available," or "Error."

Ghost printers are those with "grayed" or faded images.

Set a Default Printer

Set the preferred, primary printer as the default.

Reset Network Devices

In the Windows OS, Devices, like Users, have profiles. It's easy to recreate these device profiles for your network interface cards.

1. Run from an elevated command prompt, NETCFG /d.
2. Immediately restart PC.

What this does is it performs a cleanup on all networking devices by uninstalling all of your network devices from the Windows Operating System.

You must restart the PC immediately upon which it will load all network adapters into clean, new device profiles.

Check .Net Framework

Run Microsoft's .NET Framework Repair Tool found at, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135.

Check C++ Redistributable Libraries

See, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170.

Installing the 2015-2022 C++ Redistributable covers a lot of applications.
