Our Windows 10 machines the logins can take up to 2 minutes. I've found that if I run the below commands to remove some of the built in apps the logins are significantly faster. My question is is there any way of deploying this to many computers. I've
tried it as a Group Policy both startup and login script it doesn't run. We have too many machines for me to go to each open powershell as admin etc. Is there a goo way of deploying something like this?
