Getting a new Citrix Session

Issue

There are many things that can cause the need to get a new citrix session, including (but not limited to):

  • Interaction Desktop slow or laggy
  • Outlook Signatures are missing
  • Citrix profile errors
  • Autocorrect error messages in Outlook or Word
  • Normal.dotm error messages in Outlook or Word
  • Errors opening files
  • Favorites are missing from your web browser (chrome/IE) or File Explorer 
  • Outlook error: "The server is unavailable."
  • Windows not maximizing to the full size of your screen

Resolution

  1. First, please refrain from closing your Citrix page or rebooting your computer! It does not actually do anything useful with regards to Citrix issues, and may cause other problems.
  2. Open the Citrix Workspace on your computer. 
  3. In the top right select the capital letter on the top right of the window with the 3 Squares and the 1 Wheel iconUploaded Image (Thumbnail)

  • This does not work on a Mac. Please close all your Citrix apps, wait at least 6 minutes, and then try again. If this does not work, please reach out to techdesk to kill your Citrix session at x4040.
  1. Wait 10-15 seconds.
  2. Re-launch your Citrix Applications.

You may not necessarily get onto a new server, but you will have a new session. If you continue to have trouble, please call techdesk at x4040 (full number: (978) 323-4040)!
