bootVis for x64

[BigDaddy]

I know bootvis is no longer public but I don't want to use it for the

optimization system, I want the boot time details. Because my shutdown now takes more than half a minute and bootup around 1 min. So I wanna see which app/driver is the problem. Does anyone know where I

can find a piece of software, if there is no bootvis for x64?

try process monitor for the startup portion, you could do it as well for Shut down it will give you the info that you are looking for

[BigDaddy]

will this application tell me also about driver and application delays?

You could always enable maximum 5000ms for closing programs and services. I've runned with those tweaks for years on end, no troubles. I'm sure system needs more time sometimes, but screw that.

that's the first thing I do on my fresh Windows install.

it's not just the shutdown its also the start up. Its sitting there for almost 10sec doing absolutely nothing during boot. Not to much it takes about 3min to get into safe mode

[TranceEnergy]

well that could be because of many things. How much software do you have in startup? Do you run anti virus? memory scanning on boot? those kind of things.

Check for driver conflicts, event viewer logs. Prefetch enabled ? There's like a billion reasons. bootvis x64 doesnt exist google says, which is weird. I could have sworn i used to use it some years back.

that is exactly why I would need a bootvis because there can be a milion reasons. I also went into MSCONFIG in disabled all non microsoft services and startup items and nothing helped. In device manager all is ok.

pa. about the bootvis. It works on X32 just not on X64

[TranceEnergy]

Since it doesnt exist, how can you then expect someone to give it to you? If you have prefetching active you can check that log for seeing what windows loads in what order.

bootvis does exist but only works in 32bit Windows XP.

ps. how do I check the log of prefetching?

[TranceEnergy]

I dont have it enabled so i cant check the filename, but as i recall there should be a .ini file in prefetch\ directory along with the prefetch files. This file will show you in what order windows loads prefetched files.

It will also show you if you should clean up some prefetch files. Also startup menu directories etc are prefetched, usually.

[BigDaddy]

the only .ini file is called layout.ini and that one is full of strange code.

[TranceEnergy]

Well that is the file.. It should contain path\file names. What do you mean by strange code?
