Microsoft(Azure) Virtual Desktop Optimization Tool now available
Optimizing images has always been an important component of preparing images as part of a traditional Remote Desktop Services (RDS) infrastructure or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)....
Hello Christian,
Firstly thank you for all your work on the optimisation front. I have been using these scripts for a few years on Windows 10 for AVD for my client.
Been having an issue with W11 23H2 where the start menu crashes. I tried 3 variants:
1) Using the scripts I applied to W10 which has only the AppPackages.json customisation.
2) Using ALL settings as default (no changes in any of the config files)
3) Using minor tweaks in the AppPackages.json
In all cases I am running:
.\Windows_VDOT.ps1 -Optimizations All -AdvancedOptimizations All -AcceptEULA -Verbose
So applying everything. Been working on this for two weeks now, and got totally stuck. If I dont use the scripts it works fine btw. So not sure what is breaking the start menu. Tried with local profiles and FSlogix, and makes no difference.
Works perfectly well on W10, but same scripts on W11 cause the start menu issue. When you click on the start menu, then click on the name of the logged on user, in order to sign out, the start menu disappears and when you check app logs, its crashed. Here is the event log:
I realise I have been too dependant on your 'default' out of the box settings, and will need to tailor them.
Many Thanks
Stuart
