mattpant Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Hi All, I've setup new Mandatory profiles to use with our students from Windows 8.1 machines using the Microsoft Method of running the copyprofile command in Unattend.xml/Sysprep - The profile is working and loading up, however - every time a user goes to logon to the computer using the profile the system runs the first time logon black screen with the following :- Hi... We're setting things up for you... You can get new apps from the store... Installing your apps... Let's Start! Then you get the Desktop This is obviously adding a delay to the time it takes a user to load up the desktop. I don't know what apps it's installing - but how can we stop this with the Mandatory profile to speed things up?!?!? I'm aware of the GPO Setting to hide this screen from showing, but that's all it does do - it hides it, but still runs and adds the delay to logon and you just see the "Preparing Desktop" message instead. Thanks Matt Edited November 10, 2014 by mattpant
tmoon-mint Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 It is installing the default Metro apps. The only way to fix this that I am aware of is to remove them from your image. Whoever thought making metro apps user install only was a good idea needs to give his/her head a shake!
mattpant Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks - the last room that I imaged - I did use the PowerShell commands to remove all the Metro Style Apps from the system before imaging the computer - but the logon still pops up with the screen as mentioned above - It is quicker tho - but it's still trying to install something! Thanks Matt
Fazza Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Hi... We're setting things up for you... You can get new apps from the store... Installing your apps... Let's Start! I got rid of this silly animation by using a Group Policy, it's seems to speed things up a little bit (not by much on our ageing computers) but it looks better than all the screens in the room mimicking a rainbow!
mattpant Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah, I've used that GPO to Hide the animation - but just looking at a way to try and stop whatever apps' it's trying to install to speed up user logons when using the mandatory profile!
browolf Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, I've used that GPO to Hide the animation - but just looking at a way to try and stop whatever apps' it's trying to install to speed up user logons when using the mandatory profile! did you find a way and what was causing it?
