AppReadiness Service and Black Screen
OffColour1972 Using Windows 10, Version 2004, Multi-Session, WVD, FSlogix, and Azure files... all users started getting this after a few weeks use of WVD. True, if I disable app readiness service and reboot the login is quick and works as expected. However, Outlook and Office issues start arising and it has to be enabled again. All updates are installed but no fix found at present. Anyone else found a fix?
Sponge405 We reboot our VMs daily to save cost and still have the issue. But, since we know "App Readiness" is part of the problem. I ran a performance test on a VM and rebooted. The test linked Skype to using a lot of CPU and time on loading, even though we don't use it or even login to it. I downloaded Autoruns and stopped One Drive (since we don't use or login to that either) and Skype from loading at start up and from loading browser extensions just to be sure. I then rebooted the VM and the desktop appeared after a black screen for approx. 10 seconds rather than 1-3 minutes. I am not sure why this would affect app readiness unless it skips trying to configure registry keys etc. on start up for one drive and skype. Now I need to try and implement on mass.
