Windows was fully up-to-date, but it took the Convenience Rollup quite some time to install anyway. I didn't even look for it in the Update History. I'm so sick of fighting with Windows 7 updates over the past year! I build my images the old fashioned way. MDT is way too complicated for me, I'm OLD!! I create the image from MVLS media, use sysprep and dism and image machines one by one from flash drives. I've used 3rd party systems in the past, e.g. Ghost and Acronis, but once I got familiar with Microsoft's native tools I stuck with them. We don't have that many desktops to worry about. If I can get a new user logon to a minute or less, I'm happy.

Thanks so much Arthur! What about the 'prerequisite' KB3020369? If I don't see it listed among installed updates, I should apply it, yes? I wish I'd registered here long ago. I sacrificed too much of the summer on trying to get a usable Windows 10 image for student lab use and let my attention to 7 lag.

This post is a few years old now, and here I am still trying to speed up new user login times on Win7 Enterprise 64 in a student computer lab. The documentation is a little daunting but there are some nice-sounding promises. If I apply this rollup to a fully updated system, what's the worst that could happen?
