make a full boot trace like shown here: compress the ETL as 7z or RAR and upload it to your SkyDrive orDropboxand send me a link or post the link here.

Yes, I like the Vista/7 style It is MUCH, MUCH better for me. I always hated the classic flyout style menu, that's why I've hammerd my desktop with icons in Win95. Starting with Vista this changed because of the new Menu layout.

same here. Startmenu is my starting point to use Windows.

extract the MSU and use DISM to add the CAB (/online /Add-Package).

it is the same. MediaPortal calls the CPU affinity function and this causes the DPC/ISR issues. But during the time, the CPU is idle and only goes to 1,6GHz (2nd Cool'n'Quiet state) Is the HighPerformance mode better? I can't really see a difference.

for me not. This is my main issue with ClassicStartmenu. Otherwise I would install it everywhere

this is really strange. Can you add a dummy boot entry (clone current one) and add a timeout (1min) to warm up the hardware. Does this also fixes it?

I always diasble the hybrid thing after installation because I want always want to directly go to hibernation, so I have no idea why Standby fails with hybrid enabled.

yes, I watch this video daily it is SO great Looks like MSFT has panic that nobady buys Windows 8. Becasue of this MSFT starts a Promo when Win8 is RTM. You can buy theWin8 Pro as an upgrade for 39.99$: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/02/upgrade-to-windows-8-pro-for-39-99.aspx

the trace shows USBport issues, the hal is gone (maybe because of the BCD entry). so again, play with the USb devices and connect them to different ports. Test every combination and hopefully this fixes it.

great to hear that it improved your boot so much

Compress the etl as 7z (LZMA2 and Ultra ratio) to reduce the size.

? you asked it in your previous post? With hybrid disabled you can select hibernation from shutdown options. Does this work?

the etl only contains relative time information not absolute. I can see the high CPU usage spikes by mediaPortal and the ISR/DPC. I can see that the amdppm.sys driver with the function C1Halt causes it. This is the power management driver for your AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor. This call causes halmacpi.dll!HalpClockInterruptPn CPU usage. This repeats very 100s. The MediaPortal changes the CPU affinity (kernel32.dll!SetThreadAffinityMask) and this seems to cause the spikes. Which powerplan do you use? Do you use the latets BIOS? I've not told you to capture the CPU frequency data xperf -on latency+POWER -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl this (POWER) captures CPU power stats data.

it writes the hibernation file at the beginning of standby. If the power is lost Windows can resume from this hibernation file.

ok, thanks for the feedback. I don't have a 3TB HDD so I can't really test this.

Windows embedded 7 is what you look for.

create a new topic here in the Windows 7 forums and upload the following files: the complete folder C:\Windows\logs\CBS, C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log, C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log and the C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log /compress them to 1 zip) set the starttype to manual (open the services MMC snapin (services.msc) find the service, doublclick on it and set the startype to manual). Now Windows no longer starts it by default only if a programs/service needs it. the hotfix applies to Win7 RTM he already uses Win7 Sp1 which includes the fix.

this tool is slow. I'm using http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ but this requires XP and newer.

when will this version be released?

Happy Birthday cluberti :thumbup :thumbup

Here some videos and pictures about the Surface demo with the hanging Metro IE What does Steve Jobs think about it?

the new trace is more worse: And I can see HAL issues caused by HalpHpetClockInterrupt Hpet = High Precision Event Timer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer). Try to disable this in the BIOS.
