Symptoms

A black screen is observed right after the RDS session login:

Cause

Windows AppReadiness service activity is stalling Desktop appearance. Possibly due to some other bug.

Confirmed to happen in User Profile Disk and AVD + FSLogix environments. Possibly not noticed in usual RDS since it is less affected.

Resolution

Stop and Disable App Readiness service. Login time should improve after this change.

NOTE: App Readiness service may need to be started before installing Windows Updates that require restart.
