oskingen Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) this is Superfetch. It load a lot of files into the RAM so that you can start programs much faster. Try to disable Superfetch temporary and restart your PC to test if it starts faster.I tried this too. even with superfetch disable. it's the same. my drive is clean, defragmented.tell me if i have to delete also all files in Windows\Prefetch folder.

anarkhy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 This happens to me too, at beginning vista loads faster but after some time booting slows a lot. don´t know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 According to this, we go from the initial call into starting smss.exe at 10:26:11 to winlogon.exe starting to begin processing for the "Welcome" screen at 10:26:23 (12 seconds), and almost all of the time between is csrss.exe parsing the registry hives that are being loaded (this does take time, so if your registry gets "large" over time, booting WILL be slower). Winlogon takes ~1second to get to it's LSA call to be ready to accept credentials, and from there I see lsass.exe and wininit.exe starting up (meaning we're loading the security subsystem) and then services.exe kick in to start up the "delayed start" services (at approximately 10:26:26), and then the logonui.exe begins (to actually display the Welcome page). From there, we go through svchost parsing the power settings and event logging, and then we start processing group policy extensions at 10:26:36 (10 seconds later). This takes less than a second, and I see you started to get a desktop (explorer.exe) at 10:26:37, and from there everything appears to be working swimmingly.Therefore, it appears that we're parsing the registry hives for power and service start information where the largest delay is, so perhaps this is either registry bloat, or a driver that's causing the delay? It's not obvious here, and the event log stating that policy processing caused the delay is not entirely accurate - we weren't able to process policies until the registry and power scheme checks completed, and those are the things that are taking most of the boot time you would notice...

oskingen Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) yeah and i'm not able to diagnostic this. i don't know what to do. I'll make some tests. the thing strange is that i installed all my softwares, drivers the same day because i use a script to make this in silent install and the problem appeared 2 weeks later.

Have you added or modified any software since you built the box?We will probably have to break out the more advanced tools to get this:1. Download and install the Windows Performance Tools Kit (x64 package for 64 bit) - choose the "complete" option during install2. Open a command prompt, and type the following command:"xbootmgr -trace rebootCycle -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP"replace C:\TEMP with any temp directory on your machine as necessary to store the output filesThis will reboot your box. Once it does, log back in and once the countdown time finishes, you should now have some files in C:\TEMP. I'm interested in the .cab file, specifically.

cluberti Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well, I won't get into the debate between French and French-Canadian since you may actually be from France, but I do have something you can try - we will probably have to break out the more advanced tools to get this:1. Download and install the Windows Performance Tools Kit (x64 package for 64 bit) - choose the "complete" option during install2.

puntoMX Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 what do you mean by built the box?"Box" in this case means "computer", without the screen, so the housing and all what´s inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well, I speak in software terms unless I'm in the hardware forums, so in this case I do actually mean "installed Windows+apps" == built the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need the other two files as well (they're probably much larger), but I wanted to save you the trouble just in case it didn't work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskingen Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) I gave it an other try. This time i did not disable superfetch but only delete all .pf files in the window\prefetch folder. And my box started in 2 loading. That's good so far. Thank Cluberti for your help Edited May 10, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskingen Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) One more thing. Is it safe to remove the Layout.ini, all *.bin, all *.trx and all *.db files in the Prefetch folder ? Edited May 11, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
