Using a Windows roaming user profile may lead to corruption issues in the Workspace browser extension. This typically occurs in environments where large user profiles are synchronized and copied during log-on or log-off. As the profile size increases, the time required to complete these operations also increases.

1. Prevent the following folder from being included in the roaming profile: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data.

2. Use the UserDataFolderMode and UserDataFolderPath properties to configure a custom, persistent user data folder. These properties can be applied in:

   • Classic open browser activity

   • Modern use application/Browser activity

Workspace browser extension may become corrupted if the browser’s user profile is damaged or misconfigured.

1. To avoid interference, exclude the following path from the anti-virus allowlist: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data.

2. For environments using roaming profiles or redirected folders, consider specifying a different location for the browser user data folder to avoid conflicts.
