yes, first always look for 3rd party tools/drivers. The mrxdav.sys belongs to the WebDAV Client, so stop this service for testing purpose.

I can see delays from the mozy.sys (MozyBackup), and Intel® Active Management Technology driver (IAMTVE.sys ). update or remove them.

I think MS does the same stupid beta program like Windows 7. So the technical beta and the public get the same builds at the same time. So the test is useless if MS also closes all feedback entries on connect with "can't repro, won't fix or by design".

you miss the DRIVERS flag to see if some drivers hang. IoShutdownSystem stops the file systems so driver delays can occur. I see you have Apple/IPod service. So remove the IPod before shutting down Windows. If this doesn't fix it, make a new trace which includes the DRIVERS flag.

Is this enabled? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/configure-disk-defragmenter-schedule-in-windows-vista/

I mean the scheduled task in Windows which runs defrag when the PC is idle.

can you run the defrag from the command line? Have you disabled the automatic disk defragmentation of Windows?

is the Superfetch Service running? Also check the steps from this reply: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wptk_v4/thread/447f8512-9a33-43bd-a1cf-f0ca25b4b33a

upload at least the dmp files from the folder C:\Windows\Minidump or better the large dump (memory.dmp) from C:\Windows

Open regedit and go to here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction what do you see there?Is OptimizeComplete set to Yes? If not what do you see in OptimizeError?

because Aero Glass is rendered by the GPU and not by the CPU.

zip the ETL file as 7z and upload it to mediafire.com

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f) This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc) 0x00000008, or Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a call to the handler for a prior exception. Typically, the two exceptions are handled serially. However, there are several exceptions that cannot be handled serially, and in this situation the processor signals a double fault. There are two common causes of a double fault: A kernel stack overflow. This overflow occurs when a guard page is hit, and the kernel tries to push a trap frame. Because there is no stack left, a stack overflow results, causing the double fault. If you think this overview has occurred, use !thread to determine the stack limits, and then use kb (Display Stack Backtrace) with a large parameter (for example, kb 100) to display the full stack. A hardware problem. nt!KeBugCheckEx nt!KiBugCheckDispatch+0x69 nt!KiDoubleFaultAbort+0xb2 [b]amdppm!C1Halt[/b]+0x2 so you get a crash while sending the CPU to C1 ACPI Processor state. have you tested a new CPU and not your AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor?

run ProcessMonitor (from sysinterals) and enable boot logging. DON't reboot and run this xbootmgr command: xbootmgr -trace boot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER+Network -stackwalk profile -resultPath C:\TEMP this reboots the PC. When the xbootmgr countdown is done, run ProcMon again and stop the trace. Save the trace as a PMl file. Now generate the XML and look at which time you have the delays in loading the profiles. Now go into the ProcMon trace and exlude 8set the filer) the events before and after the profile loading. Now look at the Duration column what takes some time.

use the Trial and test if you need the features of the Ultimate (both have the same, only Enterprise is Volume licensed based and the only Trial edition offered by MS).

Hi Derek, the productivity PC hangs while loading the profile. Is this a roaming profile? I can also see that the repdrvfs.dll causes CPU usage on your second CPU core during this time. This DLL belongs to the WMI service. My guess is that McAfee is doing WMI queries. Update it to McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Patch 5 or completely disable it for testing. Is it better?

if you never heard about it and never used it why paying a lot of money for things you don't use? download the 90day Win7 Enterprise Trial and play with the VHD feature.

If you never heard about VHD boot get the Home Premium or Prof. Check the chart which feature you need: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions#Comparison_chart

you run MSE. Does it happen without MSE, too? I still see the filter and NTFS driver delays.

which tool do you use to change the resources?

I use VHD boot to test several Windows versions (Server 2008 R2, Win8, Win Embedded) side by side. I don't have to care about partitions any longer. I've I don't need the Windows any longer, I delete the VHD and the BCD entry. I can also copy the VHD to a safe location and make an easy backup.

yes, but vboot doesn't really work. It crashes so often and damages the VHDs. I gave it up to use the tool.

no, this is not possible. Create a new DVD and reinstall.

VHD is not a sandbox. Here is a topic about it: Instead of installing Windows to a partition on your HDD you install it into a VHD and boot from it. This feature is only part of Enterprise/Ultimate and all Server Editions.
