which other tools do you run? one of them is also using ETW.

yes ,this is ugly. Very often you have 2 icons (1 of the program and 1 of the uninstaller) which look the same, so it is difficult to see which is the one you want. So you must unpin the uninstaller first. Doing this after each install is horrible. :realmad: :realmad: this is the default setting for the last Windows version. Uncheck the option in the advanced system properties. when you try a rightcclick you see a new bar at the button with advanced settings and the option to unpin apps. Here you can choose to run applications as admin. press SHIFT and F8 the same time. This took me 2 weeks to figure this out

you get this error because you run again a tool which use ETW (Process Explorer, Process Hacker, resource Monitor). You must use Process Explorer 12.04 because this is the last version which doesn't use ETW.

the boot trace command from here: Does this work or does it also fail?

can you zip the trace, upload it adn send me a link?

Run this command in background: xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl and do your normal work (DON'T RUN LATENCYMON!!!!!!!!!!!) If you have issues (drops), go to the CMD prompt and press a key to dump the data into the file. The file is limited to 256MB, so it should capture the last few minutes so that it includes the required data.

Your Windows satrts extremely slow: timing bootDoneViaExplorer="532027" bootDoneViaPostBoot="577827" 532s to the desktop and 567s to boot completely (over 8 minutes!) starting the services is extremely slow: <services autoStartStartTime="54996" autoStartEndTime="498464" autoStartDuration="443467"> The Multimedia Class Scheduler Service takes 43s to start: MMCSS" group="AudioGroup" transition="stop" totalTransitionTimeDelta="42865" Do you use the latest audio drivers? If not update them. Next the Akamai service takes 20s to start. serviceTransition name="Akamai" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="20941" The largest slowdown are the SQL Server services: serviceTransition name="MSSQLSERVER" totalTransitionTimeDelta="417300" serviceTransition name="MSSQLServerOLAPService" totalTransitionTimeDelta="401192" serviceTransition name="ReportServer" totalTransitionTimeDelta="407688" Do you need them directly at start? If not, set the starttyp to "on demand /manual" and start them via CMD script (net start MSSQLSERVER, net start MSSQLServerOLAPService and net start ReportServer) teamviewer is also very slow: serviceTransition name="TeamViewer7" totalTransitionTimeDelta="390061" Next you run your Toshiba MK6465GSX in IDE mode (IDE\DiskTOSHIBA_MK6465GSX), try AHCI if possible. Also look at the optimization I linked in the first topic. Install the hotfixes, reboot and run the optimization command. If this doesn't speedup Windows, make a new trace and this time upload the compressed ETL file.

have you now made a trace which can be used or do you still run LatencyMon the same time?

can you make a normal trace with the commands I posted in the other topic?

upload the compressed ETL file if you're unsure.

create a new profile (start firefox.exe -p)

Ask the VMWare support if they can fix the nigh ndis/tcpip.sys spikes when using VMWare workstation.

open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction Is the value Enable set to "Y". Is the prefetcher value also 3?

try only this: xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem

can you please attach the xbootmgr.log?

is the superfetch service running?

the values you have are ok. Do you have any issues (audio, video drops)?

yes, negative feedback on the B8 Blog is not published and than he said, that there is only a small number of users who don't like it: "We've seen some small amount of visceral feedback focused on "choice" or "disable"—a natural reaction to change". Also in Office he used this arrogant way to threat users like idiots if they don't like what he thinks is the best.

yes, Procexp shows high usage f you have it. As I said, you can't run t programs side by side which use ETW to capture data. This is a Windows limitation.

hm, for me I solved it by removing any USB devices from the PC. Have you made a new trace without the DRIVERS flag?

look for high CPU usage of the nodes DPC/Interrupt. If you see this, run the command inside ProcExp with File->Run (CTRL+R) when you see the high CPU usage.

yes, but good news. The end of one thing is the beginning of something new. A world without Microsoft monopole. The Ancient Rome also died after being a one of the largest empires and Windows will have the same result. It will be dead MSFT doesn't want to sell products any longer, ok so they must go to insolvency like Kodak, if they are so stupid and try to sell something which nobody wants. Business = selling producs/services others need. If MSFT doesn't understand this, it's there problem. But I think in a few years google will bring an OS for daily usage, maybe with a *nix Kernel and then we all ask, who the f*ck was MSFT. And it's not only Ballmer, "Napoleon" Sinosfsky has the largest influence in this suicide. His antisocial behavior (censorship of negative feedback and saying that there is no negative feedback) will be the death of Windows.

don't run LatancyMon the same time. run an older ProcExpl version (12.04) or ProcessHacker with NetWork/Disk IO tracing disabled.

you haven't used the correct commands I posted. the file doesn't contain any useful data. Don't run LatancyMon and xperf the same time.

I did this. The next LTS Ubuntu will be my next main operating system. Windows is dead for me. I will NEVER use this Metro nonsense. Vista/7 go into a VM for Windows only software.
