If not done already, maybe you can try the Start Menu and Profile options listed here: https://4sysops.com/archives/improving-windows-10-logon-time/

Please also note, the OneDrive setup executable is in the default user registry key, so this will always be automatically installed with each logon. (Thanks Microsoft)

This applies also for Windows 10 LTSB.

Check my VDI lab login time with Windows 10 at : ITCloudStream.com  It takes about 30 seconds or less to login depending on your network connection.

I put a lot of hours and even days on this golden image. You need to run the  "VMware OS Optimization Tool" more than once and also Google for:

- VMware Horizon View – Windows 10 Golden Image Creation

- Decrapifying Windows 10

- How-to-uninstall-and-remove-HERE YOU TYPE THE APP NAME-in-windows-10


Login info for my VDI: Username: vg-1 - Password: Passw0rd

You can always use vg-1  vg-2  vg-3  vg-4  vg-5 with the same Password!

If anyone else is interesting to check..

Windows 10 Pro - 32 BIT, vSphere 6.0, Horizon 6.1.1

You might consider the following when using Windows 10 as a VDI OS

- Windows 10 LTSB (No new feature updates, only security, No Cortana, Store, Edge and Store Apps)

- Consider a mandatory profile (https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2017/01/vmware-user-environment-manager-mandatory-profiles-part-1.html)

- When using UEM for profile management, use direct flex as much as possibe to reduce logon times.

- Use VMware OS Optimization tool like already mentioned in other replies. There is also a public template coming from LoginVSI with #VDILIKEAPRO https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vmware-os-optimization-tool

- Remove OneDrive setup

- Check registry for RUN and Active Setup items

Good luck!

Here's something I've noticed recently - the Windows 10 Start Menu is hosed, exhibiting the same thing you mention, you can see the icons, but they are unclickable.

Turns out that for us, UEM is the culprit. I was able to solve this by DISABLING the Windows Explorer setting in UEM. Yes: UEM default config is somehow gakking Windows 10 start menu - by default. So, by default, I now pretty much disable most of the user environment stuff in UEM and stick to ADMX template method of customizations.

Hi,

I don't know if you're using Persona Management.

With Windows 10, I've noticed if I redirect the AppData folder, login times increases dramatically, from 30-40 seconds to more than 100 seconds.

Thanks for this. I have been struggling with logon times ranging from 100 to 150 seconds lately.  I noticed that a group of users i tested that had no redirected folders logged in a lot quicker, so i was already suspecting redirecting to be the culprit, and when i removed appdata from being redirected, login dropped to 25-29 seconds. This on Horizon version 7.11, W10 1909.

The random login times could be due to difference in size and amount of files under appdata for the various profiles.
