Windows 11: slow loading to desktop after login prompt

 On some of my computers Windows 11 was taking a long time to show the desktop after logging in with your user credentials.

What happens is you get a build up of data in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp.

Pre-cleansing, one of mine was 35.1GB. It was full of folders named with GUIDs.

Deleting this significantly speeds up the desktop load.
