I just recently purchased a new lenovo laptop and joined it to my home windows server (V.2019). Upon logging in I attempted to go to Lenovo Vantage to do something, I discovered it was nowhere to be found on my profile, so I searched for the windows store and that was nowhere to be found either. I switch users to a different domain user and was able to access both Lenovo vantage and Windows store. I just now tried to open Defender and it could not find an application to open it, odd. I logged into a different domain joined PC with the same profile and was able to access everything without an issue. I unjoined and rejoined the new PC and reattempted but am still having the same issues. The profile is a roaming profile, don't know if that's the issue.

    Hello @Colby ,

    Thank you for posting here.

    To better understnad our question, please confirm the following information:

    How do you configure user roaming profile?

    The option 1
    74715-pro1.png

    The option 2
    Via GPO: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Set roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer

    If you set roaming profile on user Properties, on new domain-joined machine, you need to sign in and sign out and sign in again to check roaming profile.

    If you set roaming profile via Computer configuration GPO, on new domain-joined machine, you need to sign in and sign out and run command gpupdate /force through CMD, sign out then sign in again to check roaming profile.

    Reference

    By the way, do you have RDP environment?

    Hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,
