2. Click the Desktop icon to launch the VDA.

3. Expected the "Desktop Launching" notification pops out in the lower right corner soon.

4. Wait about one minute, the "Desktop Launching" notification is popped out. 

5. Desktop Launch is completed within few seconds.

Cause

Workspace App for Windows will clear MUICACHE entries to assure that application name is shown properly when stacking apps in task-bar.

If there are too many entries under this key, it will take long time to enumerate all entries, which causes the launch slowly issue.

Resolution

1. Open "Regedit" with administrator permission.

2. Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell"

3. Delete the key "MuiCache"
