Christiaan_Brinkhoff Great to see that MS is helping the customers to optimize Windows 10 in a virtualized environment. It would be nice to get official support by Microsoft for using optimization tools like this. It would be even nicer to be able to deploy an optimized Window 10 image out of the box :-).

2 remarks:

- Feature request: to be able to select optimizations. Now it's all or nothing.

- In the current version, there is an optimization that disables the inline videos in Internet Explorer. This will artificially increase the Login VSI results, because playing videos from a browser is one of the tasks in the Login VSI workload. 

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Display Inline Videos"="no"
