We are testing a Win 8.1 x64 deployment and are finding it is very slow at the 'Apply Device Drivers' stage. The wim file applies to the machine and it moves on to apply the drivers and stalls. It does eventually work but the TS takes about 4 hours in total.
All the driver packs and the WIM are on local DP's so it should take about 40mins in my estimation. In fact running a Win7 image on the machine takes about 40 mins (and the drivers section only takes a few minutes).
The TS we are running is very default (ie I just ran through the wizard without adding any apps).
Is anyone else seeing this with 8.1, or has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks.
