Windows 10: How to load systray apps and programs BEFORE Windows Sign In?

Hi, Have been a lurker for many years and I can usually solve problems myself but this his been niggling me since the Fall Creators Update.

I have 6 machines on my local home network, all are running Microsoft Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.592). It is standard practice that when we turn a machine on, that we wait 5 minutes for all disk activity to stop before we sign in.

Now after signing/logging in at the Windows Login/Sign In Screen, 3 of the machines will have already loaded ALL the icons in the system tray, notification area and taskbar and the systems will be ready for immediate use. The other 3 machines will only just start loading the icons and programs and it can take 3-5 minutes before they have finished and then they are ready to use.

I have checked numerous settings and options but not found a way to have these 3 machines load and be ready to start BEFORE signing/logging in.

Having searched online it seems that several people have experienced this but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on how to make all the machines behave identically (fast load before login). Any help, advice and suggestions would be most welcome.

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

Hi Suzanne,

There's a possibility that you are currently signed in on your computer using your local account. For us to sort this out, we suggest that you sign in with your Microsoft account instead. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings > Accounts > Your email and accounts.
• Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once signed in with your Microsoft account on your computer, try signing into the Windows Store app.

Update us with the result.

Regards.
