Here are a few things we've found that made a difference: We've been tinkering with it for a couple months now, and have non persistent Windows 10 logins down to about 16 seconds as a baseline, which grows to around 24-27 when using GPU (Tesla M10), UEM 9.1 clients, and AppVolumes 2.12 agent in the base image. When someone logs in it says "Preparing Windows" then you get the "We're Happy You're Here" followed by a few more messages and finally the desktop appearsĬouple things on this.
Login times are 1:10 which is twice as long as Win7. Took a snapshot, and made a new pool with just 3 desktops. HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components. Deleted all stub paths in the registry under. We took all the defaults except we also checked most of the built-in apps to have them removed Our storage is a Nimble All Flash Array so IOPS and latency is not an issue Installed Windows 10, 64 bit, build 1607 which is the latest available for download. We are running View 7.0.2 under ESXi 6.0 Update 2. I am working on building a master image for Window 10. It takes about 35 seconds to login to a Win7 desktop. We have been running Window 7 using View for several years. I gave this another go since my original post was March 2016 and several things have changed including the version of View, ESXi, and Win10 we are running Would things improve under ESXi 6.0 Update 2? We are upgrading to the newest version of vSphere in about 2 weeks Is Windows 10 under View just not a good choice?
We use non-persistent desktops so they are refreshed after each log off. Using a console session in the client to login twice does not refresh the desktop. Of course a desktop will only realize you have logged in before if it is a persistent desktop. In other words, logging in the second time cuts login time significantly. I then just went to the vSphere client, got a console session to one of the desktops, logged in (which took 1:50), logged off, and logged back in again, it took about 35 seconds. When someone logs in it says "Preparing Windows" then you get the "We're Happy You're Here" followed by a few more messages and finally the desktop appears
Login times are 1:50, more than a minute longer than Win7. Took a snapshot, made a new pool with just 2 desktops. VMware OS Optimization Tool – VMware Labs Ran the optimization tool found here taking all the defaults. This is the same resources that we use under Win7 Ran Windows updates and installed all available. Installed Windows 10, 32 bit, build 1511 which is the latest available for download. We are running View 6.2.1 under ESXi 5.5 Update 2. I am working on building a master image for Window 10 but found logins to be very slow. It takes about 35 seconds to login to a Win7 desktop
