When creating an optimized image with the Virtual Desktop Optimization tool and using that image to deploy a host pool, some users may report that certain applications such as Windows calculator and Sticky notes are missing. To resolve this issue, we need to identify which file to modify and what changes need to be made.
A. The Services.json file is used to configure Windows services. Changing the "VDIState" to "enabled" in this file will not add missing apps such as Windows calculator and Sticky notes. This option is therefore not correct.
B. The AppxPackages.json file is used to configure Windows Universal apps. Changing the "VDIState" to "enabled" in this file for the missing applications will re-enable them. Therefore, this option is correct.
C. The ScheduledTasks.json file is used to configure scheduled tasks. Changing the "VDIState" to "enabled" in this file will not add missing apps such as Windows calculator and Sticky notes. This option is therefore not correct.
D. The DefaultUserSettings.json file is used to configure default user settings. Removing the registry key for each of the missing applications and recreating the image will not add them back. This option is therefore not correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Open the AppxPackages.json file, change the "VDIState" to "enabled" for the missing applications and recreate the image. This will re-enable the missing apps such as Windows calculator and Sticky notes.
