SlowLinkUIEnabled

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0 (Not in registry) | 1 0

Description

Notifies users when their roaming profile is slow to load. The notice lets users decide whether to use a local copy or to wait for the roaming user profile.

This entry stores the setting of the Prompt user when slow link is detected Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Prompt user when slow link is detected policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.

Value Meaning
0 | (Entry does not appear.) Users are not notified when their roaming profile is slow to load. By default, the system loads the local copy of the profile. However, if the value of SlowLinkDefault is 1, then the system loads the remote copy of the user profile.
1 Users are notified when their roaming profile is slow to load and are asked how to proceed.

This entry and the related entries in this subkey together define the system's response when roaming user profiles are slow to load.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Prompt user when slow link is detected policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon).

Note Image Note

If the value of SlowLinkDetectEnabled is 1, this entry is ignored. Also, if the value of DeleteRoamingCache is 1, there is no local copy of the roaming profile to load when the system detects a slow connection.
