Changing Windows 10 Registry setting in Base Image

Looking to improve Windows 10 login times.  It has been suggested that this Key might help.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

Value name: FSIASleepTimeInMs

Value type: REG_DWORD

My question is which is the best way to apply it, as I'm not sure in what order a registry key would be applied.

We Apply Appstacks to a Base Image.

Should I apply the change in the Appstack, Base Image or both?

The Template for the Appstack was created from the Base Image but quite some time ago.

Those types of settings you want to put it in the base image. If you put it in an appstack, you run the risk of it capturing the deletion of the registry key in the stack which would not give you the desired result. Appstacks are mainly for capturing applications.

On a side note, if your template was created awhile ago and you've updated your app volume versions since, you may want to go through and updated all your appstacks with the latest default template. There has been many tweaks to the snapvol.cfg that has fixed slowness at login.
