Explanation

In a non-persistent VDI environment, the virtual desktop reverts to its base golden image at the end of each session. This means any application installations (A), locally saved user data (B), and installed peripheral drivers (C) are wiped on logoff. However, saving application configurations (D) can persist because application settings are stored in the user's profile (HKCU registry hive, AppData folders), which is typically managed separately - redirected to a network location or handled by a profile management solution. This is the one capability that survives the session reset because user profile data is outside the scope of the non-persistent image.
