Known Issue: Some device config settings are not being applied correctly after Windows 11 feature update was installed

Prior to Windows 11 feature update installation, when users logged into Windows on these devices they were only able to see the Downloads folder but now are able to see and save to the local C: drive. In addition, Windows profiles of users who signed into these machines in the past as well as multiple guest account profiles were no longer being deleted when disk space gets low. As a result, some computers ran out of free space.

This issue is mainly affecting classroom and lab computers with shared PC mode enabled, where local storage was disabled and account management was enabled via the device configuration profile in Endpoint Manager. Affected devices have been joined to Azure AD as Windows 10 devices, and then Windows 11 feature update was applied on them. Devices that have been updated to Windows 11 or shipped with Windows 11 and then joined to Azure AD are not affected.
