Handling Appx with DEM

[cbaptiste]

I just finished analyzing my logon time. It has been creeping up since 1809 and it turns out about 40 seconds is spent on Appx. This is an open discussing on how can we tackle this. I have done a tone of research and thus far nothing concrete.

I am not an expert on Appx. But, like to know what does it do? What information is captured for personalization? Also, can you share full session log file for us to understand what's going on.

AppX are the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. There aren't any information about them in the DEM logs.
