looks like you've uploaded the kernel.etl. This file is useless for me. The file only works on the PC where the data were captured.

this is a huge improvment To activate GPO logging do this: 1.) create the folder C:\Windows\Debug\UserMode 2.) add this to a new .reg file and import it to the registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics] "GPsvcDebugLevel"=dword:00030002 now reboot t capture the GPO run and analyze the file: http://www.sysprosoft.com/policyreporter.shtml

nice. But you should not provide Windows 7 files in our tool. MSFN doesn't allow redist of Windows files.

why do you use the old 570? They use more power compared to the 670. Or you can try the AMD Radeon HD 7950 or 7870. The rest seems to be ok. If you only do gaming the CPU is over-sized. Games need a fast GPU. The CPu is less important here. Only a quadcore is required for todays games. So an i5 (with K) is enough.

I also never liked the GUI. The Vista Explorer is faster for me. But this is my personal taste.

nope, DISM would use the engine from the Win7 image which doesn't support this operation.

no, no, no. I don't need a new teletubbies Windows like XP :no:

this version is now out. Check your email account which you used to download it.

delete the cookies in the IE options.

if you are in doubt open the MUM file and look at the description.

That's quite possibly the best joke I've ever heard! now you act like Sinofsky. Respect his opinion. If he likes it, he can do this.

Also activate GPO logging and check the GP log and ask the admin to optimize them.

You must use the Audit Mode or install them silently with setupcomplete.cmd

Have you removed them off- or online? The Scavenging cleans the files later. In Win8 you can force the Scavenging with a DISM command.

BLB schould be Windows Backup and Bitlocker should be SecureBoot: "C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-SecureStartup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514.mum"

Win8 will be RTM in first week of August and GA in October: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/09/upcoming-windows-milestones-shared-with-partners-at-wpc.aspx Also Microsoft will use 500Mio $ for Windows 8 ads: http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heise.de%2Fnewsticker%2Fmeldung%2FBericht-Halbe-Milliarde-US-Dollar-fuer-Windows-8-Werbung-1634284.html

this is very confusing. I have no real idea why this is so

Run OpenHardwareMonitorand check the temperature of CPU/GPU/Motherboard/HDD:

A workaround for the network would be to disable a GPO: Computer/Administrative Templates/System/Logon/Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon This can reduce the time when Windows tries to restore network drives when you are not connected to the network. When you generate the XML you can see that WinLogonInit takes most time: And the GPClient takes 65s. Now open the ETL with the viewer, select the WinLogonInit phase, clone the section and go to generic events, make a rightclick an select "summary table". Now expand the Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon entry and you'll see this: This shows the other delay, here it is the Restoring of the network connections.

ok, you have 2 issues: 1st: running the group policies takes 65s 2nd: restoring the network connections takes 137s. so fix both and your boot is fast again.

it means I have no idea why you can use the RTM picture The code is still there but doesn't work.

I've checked the code for RTM and Sp2 and have no idea why Vista no longer allows you to use custom pictures. The code in OslDisplayInitialize for RTM and Sp2 does the same and tries to load the osload800x600.bmp or osload1024x768.bmp from the WIM which is includes as a resource :blink: :wacko:

The MediaPortal may hang becasue it waits. I can see it causes ntkrpamp.exe!KiProcessThreadWaitList calls which calls ntkrpamp.exe!KiReadyThread. So we must capture ReadyThread data, too. xperf -on latency+POWER+DISPATCHER -stackwalk profile+CSwitch+ReadyThread -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl But I must say I never used xperf to analyze hangs. I've uses the Builin profiler of Visual Studio 2010 which uses xperf/ETW in background and shiows me nice list.

WUSA checkes if a feature is enabled. With DISM it only checks that the feature is present (even if not activated the update installs). Next time you aktiivate the Ink componnent Windows will use the updated files so you avoid the installation of the update.

correct and THIS IS GREAT. Everyone can use what he links and not what MSFT thinks it is the best :realmad:
