Description

When launching VM hosted apps, the Windows logon screen might appear before the app is fully launched.
To change the duration of the grace period, set the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI Name: LogonUIHideTimeout Type: DWORD Value: Any value greater than zero in milliseconds (for example, 20000 milliseconds for 20 seconds 

Environment

Caution! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.

Resolution

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI
Name: LogonUIHideTimeout
Type: DWORD
Value: Any value greater than zero in milliseconds (for example, 20000 milliseconds for 20 seconds)

Problem Cause

There is a grace period of 15 seconds after which screen appears this is expected behavior unless you make the reg key shared in this article 
Note: During the grace period, there is no obvious indication to users that the app is launching. Configuring too high a grace period can delay application launches and cause users to inadvertently launch apps multiple times.
