Deployment with fastest time from login to usable desktop

Question

Hi there,

 

we are investigating windows 10 deployments, and so far have all our major software working on all our hardware.

What we would like now is the best way to ensure a fast logon. Our current situation would have 5-6 users per day logging on to a machine (1 each hour), with the possibility of them using new machines.

Im trying to add a package that removes the preinstalled apps, but no luck with that working from the TS yet (it works if i run it manually).

 

Are there any other modifications that can be made to improve logon time? (Remove the "Hi" screens, etc)

What is everyone else doing in regards to this - do you just accept the increased logon time?

 

Look forward to some opinions or thoughts
