ok, this explains why I don't get this message. Nice find

the .net 3.5 files are on your ISO/DVD. To install .net 3.5 run this: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess (replace D with your mounted ISO/DVD drive)

buy a SSD to solve the boot issue when HDD is busy all the time.

I also use the theme and have no issues.

Starting with XP Windows only loads some hive and not the whole registry. So only in Win9x it had a perf impact. Users often do things which make no sense.

I also tested it in a VM and it works

Mark Russinovich also uses a Startmenu in Windows 8: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/WCA-B306#fbid=Pa0ls4wnMJj :lol:

does this mean I can use custom themes without patching uxtheme dlls? Is this feature working with the RC3?

can you make some pictures or videos? I have no idea what you mean. Btw, the Windg issue is still there. strange that it worked with the other dump I opened 2 hours ago

Yes, I activated the shaderOptimization. Look at the title of the TortoiseGit Window when updating (pull) or getting the changelog. Here I see flickering in the old version. Can I get the symcache file to trace the cpu usage with xperf?

bootDoneViaPostBoot shows when boot is fully done. I explained this in the first post. CPU usage can be found in the CPU sampling graph in xperfview.

registry cleaners are useless and improve nothing. Only when the registry is very large (over 1GB) cleaning improves boot perf.

for me taskmanager works. Which issue do you have?

I have no other ideas. The disk is still heavily used. Reduce the amount of started programs to the bare minimum if you don't want to buy a SSD.

thanks for the new version The glitches with TGit are gone for 99%. I only see a small glitch after opening it. The scroll issue with WinDbg is also gone But I have a new glitch with XML Explorer: http://xmlexplorer.codeplex.com/ When I open a XML I see nothing. I have to minimize and restore the XML explorer. And I think the new version casues a bit more CPU usage compared to the older version.

the data show me that the reading is slow.l

reading the hibernation file is the cause of the slowdown: hiberread="440503000" 440s is too long. You use an old 40GB HDD (SEAGATE ST340014A 40.0GB), maybe the drive is now at is end of lifetime. Install Windows to a different HDD.

because Vista was much better and usable compared to Windows 8. without 3rd party tools Windows 8 is unusable.

why was msfn down today? again the DB server?

check the value mediabootinstall in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/. If the value is 1 you used a full version, if 0 you installed an upgrade.

no, the update DOESN'T contain all Updates. It is a collection of 90 HOTFIXES which fix performance and Network issues.

I found an issue with WinDbg. When I opend a dmp file and run the command lmo D sm to list all loaded modules, the screen is not updated. I have to scroll a bit to see that result. Can anyone repro this?

so MS shows some new things: http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2013/05/30/continuing-the-windows-8-vision-with-windows-8-1.aspx You can now have different tile sizes and use the desktop wallpaper as "metro" background: and you'll get the startbutton (not the menu ) back. Win 8.1 will also include the IE11.

MS explained this in a KB article: AppInit_DLLs in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2853424/en-us
