In this chapter, we have learned about how to configure the master virtual desktop image and about what makes it different than configuring a traditional desktop.

We have discussed how to customize the Windows file system cluster size before beginning the installation process, how to permanently remove Windows store apps, disabling application native updaters, Windows optimizations that can reduce the desktop resource requirements, and when to use a custom Windows default user profile.

In Chapter 11, Implementing App Volumes, we will discuss how to deploy and configure the VMware App Volumes application-layering software.
