killing the crss process requires admin rights. If you do this all the time it is your fault.

1. has MinWin with kernel 2. much better file manager 3. not so agressive with RAM pre-alocating aka eating it 4. much improved taskbar, the old stacking was terrible and thumbnails in vista were useless 5. Win7 was built on top of Vista SP1 codebase, so yeah its better by default 6. is more modular with components/removal than vista is 7. ... ? 1. irrelevant for daily usage. This is only a marketing fact. 2. where is is better? Explorer is mostly the same only rewritten to support libraries but the copy algorithm is the same like it is used since Vista Sp1. 3. for me Vista is better (500MB usage compared to 800MB from Windows 7 when using 32Bit and 800MB compared to 1.6GB when using the 64Bit Versions). So Vista is all times much better in terms of memory usage. Also apps start slower in Win7 because of Cache Manager/Superfetch changes to suggest users Win7 uses less RAM. overall Win7 is here disappointing. 4. This is the only advantage of Windows 7, the progressbar in the taskbar. This is the ONLY feature I miss in Vista.

clean the CPU cooler and fan.

run xbootmgr -remove. This removes the logging.

which power plan do you use? Select "balanced" and look if this is better.

@WillMahler try this update, maybe it includes the fix for your slow booting issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553141/en-us

No, I also don't like WIndows 8 with Metro and tell this here. But Firewall is fine. But running a VM with your slow system is no good idea. remove Kaspersky and use NOD32.

I use the same combination (NOD32 + Windows Firewall) and this is ok.

have you selected in RMCLock that the cpu should use other multipliers?

did you use the same Kaspersky version during the test? For me Kaspersky was always a performance hog that's why I never used it. So try to disable the anti-phishing scanning and stop all background tools which are not needed.

ok. Which CPU do you have?

why? which issue do you have?

the AMD V140 Processor seems to be the bootleneck. It is a cheap Single Core CPU. Chrome internally has a message loop and this causes fr a example 9/13% cpu usage (chrome.dll!MessageLoop::DeferOrRunPendingTask, 12.37, chrome.dll!base::MessagePumpWin::Run, 9.37)). Kaskerspy scans the HTTP traffic (HTTPProtocoller.PPL, anti-phishing http filter.dll) while surfing. So try to disable this scanning. Maybe this helps a bit, but the CPU is simply to slow for todays software. You should use at least a Dual Core cpu with 2GHz. Look if it is possible to upgrade the CPU.

nope, still doesn't work Try RATTV3 and post the result.

I can't open the files (unexpected error). Run this command to capture the data: xperf -on latency -buffersize 2048 && timeout -1 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl

use RMClock to adjust the cpu speed.

here are also good comments in the b8 blog: it really shows that you can't build 1 thing which is best everywhere. The result is totally ugly (like Metro for Desktop users). this is also my BLOCKER issue. This permanent switching is a nightmare for my eyes The same happens to some users at work. They all have the same eye issue with Windows 8 and that's why they also skip Windows 8. But as you can see MS doesn't accept this.

hmm, this is strange. I have no idea why IDE is shown. check startup with autoruns to reduce the 18s delay.

all tools fail to read the key if you run slmgr.vbs /cpky to remove the product key.

Do you want to try one of my xperf guides (DPC, CPU usage and it fails becasue you get this error message? xperf: error: NT Kernel Logger: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0xb7) The error message is misleading and has nothing to do with a file that already exists. It happens when a different tool already started a NT Kernel Logger to capture ETW data. Example of tools are Process Explorer (starting with Version 14), the Resource Monitor form Windows Vista/7 and Process hacker (with the extended tools plugin). All use ETW to capture Network and Disk IO statistics. This conflicts with xperf because xperf also captures ETW data. So before running xperf close those tools or disable disk/network IO tracing in the options of Process Hacker or use Process Explorer 12.04, which was the latest version without disk/network IO tracing. I hope this helps you to fix the issue

I see that the inbox driver only supports the GTX 295 as highest card (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_lh.inf_amd64_neutral_bc69f20e3115af59). Try to select the GTX 295 and force the driver installation. if this works and you still have the high DPC issues run a new trace. If not, make a BIOS reset, restore the powersaving options/power plans, try also older drivers. Also check the temperature of the GPU, maybe the GPUs are too hot. Also which PSU do you use? Maybe the PSU not not powerful enough for 2 cards.

the code was removed in Windows 7 and the only chance is to install Classic Shell.

your boottime is ok: - <timing bootDoneViaExplorer="30078" bootDoneViaPostBoot="46978" 30s to the desktop and 36s to boot completely. The AVG driver causes a 2s delay during boot: <pnpObject name="Avgldx64" type="Driver" activity="Load" startTime="4959" endTime="7367" duration="2408" prePendTime="2408" /> <pnpObject name="\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\Avgldx64" type="unknown" activity="unknown" startTime="4963" endTime="7367" duration="2404" prePendTime="2404" /> Also the AVG services take 5s to start: <serviceTransition name="avgfws" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="1107" <serviceTransition name="avgwd" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="3705" so try to update AVG.

so now you use the VGA driver? Can you use the 185.93 which is part of Windows 7?

please uninstall all nVIDIA drivers and rollback to the original inbox drivers of Windows 7. MS provides debug symbols for those driver version and maybe I can see more.
