We are currently getting the following logon times for different desktop configurations:
- Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (non-GPU accelerated): 10-11 seconds
- Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (nVidia M10 GPU accererated): 14-16 seconds
- Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (nVidia M10 GPU accererated) with full application suite (Adobe CC, Office, Statistics, etc): 26-28 seconds
Our environment is similar to yours (Horizon 7.2; UEM 9.2; App Volumes 2.12). GPU drivers have some per-user setup that adds a few seconds no matter what, but we feel this is as good as it is going to get.
We've done the following to achieve this logon time:
- Use W10 LTSB - much of the W10 fluff is stripped out
- VMware OSOT
- Disable as much user experience stuff as you can via Group Policy.
- Disable OneDrive and Defender (local group policy is the only way for OneDrive)
- Disable as many scheduled tasks as possible (there are tons and tons set to "at user logon")
- Use QuickPrep or Instant Clones
- Disable scanner redirection and unneeded Horizon client features.
