KB0056 - App Pages Are Missing After Service Restart

Affected Versions

- PowerShell Universal 4.0.0 through 4.2.5 

Problem

When restarting the PowerShell Universal service, pages that were defined in Apps are no longer displayed in the admin console. The apps are still functional, but they cannot be edited properly. 

Root Cause

The root cause of this issue is having a PowerShell Universal app module (like Active Directory) installed. Modules run in a different scope than the regular configuration files but a bug in the configuration system is causing them to affect the global scope of the configuration files. 

Workaround

Remove the PowerShell Universal app module from the Modules directory to avoid this issue.
