have you tried it? I tried CTP1 and was unable to install a version with a GUI. Setup fails or I had no GUI.

does it make a difference with the offloading option enabled? Is it better now?

I can't see a link to the trace. Compress the tarce file (the large ETL) als 7z or RAR and uplaod to your SkyDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive and send me a link.

last trace shows NDIS.sys again as cause: Go to the device manager, open the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller options and make sure all Offloading options are enabled. Do you have a different Ethernet card to test?

you can't delete it when Windows runs. Windows can only add a new pagefile when it runs, but you can't remove it.

you have ACPI and HAL issues. This is often a sign of CPU temperature issues. trace 4 is fine. Trace 5 shows USBport issues:

@markstrelecki does it still happen in the Release Preview?

For all the Touch enabled Notebooks which are now presented by several companies: Steve Jobs: Touchscreen Laptops Don't Work http://articles.businessinsider.com/2010-10-20/tech/29974850_1_multitouch-trackpad-notebook

the last trace is fine. No DPC or ISR spikes: the second to last trace still had issue: So removing the network related software fixed it. Figure out which of them was the cause.

yes, DEP = NX Bit. So disabling this feature let Windows think your CPU doesn't support it.

So in what way is Classic Shell more limited in Windows 8 than what it is in Windows 7? I have not noticed anything different. Andrea Borman. I refer to the statusbar. From what I see it has been replaced so that ClassicShell can't add new information. here we can see that tastes are different. I always hated this MS Agent animation and removed it to get the Windows 2000 look back. So, adding an option to show or hide is the best to make all users happy.

Hi, good news. According to the new traces, the DPC and ISR issues for the graphic driver are gone 512µ is the highest and this is ok: You only have the NDIS.sys spikes: so check again all network related software and updaet them. If nothing works uninstall them and test if this fixes it.

The fiels are too large (over 1GB and 500MB). xperfview needs too much RAM to open them. My 8GB are not enough. You can run this command: xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl This limits the captured data to 256MB which is ok to open. But 1GB is too much. from the generated summary I can see that you still have NDIS, USB3 and graphic DPC issues: Your GA-X58A-UD3R has 4 PCI slots. Put the graphic card into a different slot: Now look if you still have issues.

Already done. You're great. Thanks

For me this looks the same on Windows 8 with IE9 or in Metro. Looks horrible. I'm using Firefox which allows me to use the old GDI metric or some fonts and I have a clear brilliant picture back not this horrible crap.

Reset the BIOS settings and enable VT and NX Bit again. If not, Mr Snub should fill a bug. And on the MS forums, other users with Intel CPUs have the same issue. So MS will properly investigate this.

I not. He knows nothing and only speculates. His "knowledge" only comes from Rafael Reviera and from the advantage of getting newer builds from his contacts. it depends on finding well defined Windows (everything in Windows Desktop GUI is internally a Window). They can replace the taskbar with undocumented DirectUI code to prevent all tools from running. They did this with Windows Explorer taskbar, that why Classic Shell is already limited in Win8.

this Mackie device is the cause: It sens again data to the device and ths causes the high DPC/ISR CPU usage. Do you use the latest drivers? Also update the Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller drivers.

have you tried it? Maybe it calls functions which are not available.

I'm waiting for the next marketing lie of Sinofsky where he writes that Win8 is used 3 times more compared to Win7 RC :lol: http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.de/2012/05/fear-and-loathing-and-windows-8.html

You still have NDIS DPC spikes and this time USB3 driver spikes: Is this the latest driver version for your USB3 (NUSB3XHC.SYS - Version 2.0.30.0)? There are also small ISR spikes: So, try drivers from nVIDIA drivers from 2011 until you found a driver which is better.

the button is back in Release Preview

yes.

yes, new ADK is out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg454513
