Windows 10 slow logon preparing windows
Hi everyone, I posted this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/434889/windows-10-slow-logon-preparing-windows.html but the answer I got didn't point me anywhere so I'm trying my luck here as well. I know this issue is around for quite some time. But, from what I experienced in my testing, whatever I tried didn't exactly help. Here is the problem: A domain user logs into a domain computer. policy applies within 10-15 seconds which is good because we deploy preferences like drive maps, printers, file and folder options and internet settings. after applying the policies the display shows "Please wait for the local session manager" for a second or two and than we get the "Preparing Windows" message for 30 seconds. I tried configuring the following: Disabled logon script delay Disabled run logon script synchronously Added the DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout DWORD registry and set the value to 0 Although the logon time got shortened I still get a black screen for 10 seconds or more which could alert the users. Our active directory is 2016 but our domain functional level is 2008 r2 because of historic reasons. our windows 10 are 1909 and above. Don't know where else to turn to for help.
