| Internet Explorer New Tab Black Background |
Cause
I discovered the cause on our Remote Desktop Server / Citrix XenApp 6.5 environment was that the (mandatory) profile was missing theme related registry settings. This profile was created by copying the default user profile or a new user without enabling a theme for this user first.
Solution
The solution was to configure a Windows Aero / Basic theme for the template user before copying or converting it into a mandatory profile.

Other suggested solutions include:
- Add the missing registry keys related to the Windows theme manually, through a logon script or Group Policy Preferences. [1]
- Change to and fro a different theme. [2]
- Reset Internet Explorer settings to defaults.
- Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) before installing the Desktop Experience Feature of Remote Desktop Services.
