[Trace why Windows 8 boots, shutsdown or hibernates slowly]

Thanks. I have installed a new RAID driver going from a version 8.x to a version 12.x (!). However, I don't think I have any GPO policies. I have checked rsop.msc and nothing showing there either.

So I am still puzzled.

[Trace why Windows 8 boots, shutsdown or hibernates slowly]

Dear MagicAndre, I also have a very slow Windows 8 boot. I have followed your instructions and have looked at the trace in the graphic Windows Performance analyser. I seem to have a very long WinLogin time. If my interpretation is correct, this is linked to a long time in the "None" group linked to a long FDResPub and SSDPSRV.

But - what does this mean and what can I do about it? Summary_boot.xml in link below.
