Vagrant: creating windows 10 box

Over the course of the past 2 years, I have not been able to find a dependable windows10 box, so these instructions are for creating my own.

NOTE:

If you disable the 'Windows Update' service, some software packages (like maya) will not be able to install their dependencies. You will need to temporarily re-enable them for the installation.

run:  services
    windows update:
        properties:
            startup type: disabled

install virtual box guest additions

run: UAC
    disable UAC

reboot

taskbar > network:
    network (connected):
        private

cmd (rclick and run as Administrator):
    winrm quickconfig -q
    winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="512"}
    winrm set winrm/config @{MaxTimeoutms="1800000"} 
    winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
    winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"} 
    sc config WinRM start= auto

powershell (rclick and run as Administrator)
    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

control panel (search):
    allow remote connections to this computer

Other Preferences:

#### Enable linux-subsystem for linux
powershell.exe
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

#
# restart
#

Install Linux Subsystem for Windows:
   - (Temporarily re-enable windows-update)
   - Edge:
      - https://aka.ms/wslstore
      - install ubuntu
