Which feature should be enabled to reduce the perceived startup time for users when launching published apps at logon?

• A. Application Limits
• B. Application Keyword
• C. Application Lingering
• D. Application Prelaunch

Answer: (D)

Prelaunch is the feature that reduces perceived startup time by starting the application in the background during user logon so it’s ready when the user clicks to launch. When a user logs on, the delivery system can start selected published apps on the host ahead of the user actually launching them. The app goes through its initialization, resources are loaded, and the process is kept warm. Then, when the user later opens the app, the launch feels almost instant because much of the work has already been done. This is especially helpful for apps that typically take longer to start. Keep in mind that prelaunch uses host resources during logon, so it should be enabled for commonly used or heavyweight apps where the payoff in faster perceived startup is worth the extra CPU and memory use. Other options, like lingering (keeping apps running after logoff) or features that manage search keywords or enforce limits, don’t address the goal of reducing the initial startup delay at logon.
