Trace Windows 7 boot/shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume issues

ok, got an answer. You also have NTFS issues. Also run chkdsk to check your HDD and later defrag the HDD if it is fine.

Ok, thanks, will do.

Hello, Andre!

I have run chkdsk and defragmentation (as it was described here http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/140262-how-to-speed-up-boot-process-under-windows-vista-or-windows-7/ except hotfixes installation) and the result is still the same - slow PreSMSS phase.

Here is the etl file (with stackwalking): https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8643ABC91E5D0AD4!110&authkey=!AOjnhTraZ_S9a20&ithint=file%2c.zip

When I try and run chkdsk on my new SSD, when it reboots to do it, it says it can't due to a recent install of something and that I should uninstall it but I have no idea what it's talking about!

Have you got any ideas how to fix this?

Other than that it says the volume is clean.

is the boot now faster? Or do you still see the autochk in the trace?

@doveman

can you capture a picture of the message?

Here you go. I accidentally chopped a bit off the right-side when taking the photo but I think it's not important.

Which AV suite do you use?

This user fixed it by removing AV suite:

it is still the same. Try to install the Enterprise Hotfix Rollup.

Hello, Andre!

Thanks for you reply!

Is this the single update? The problem here is that I can't find the link to download it. I've found hotfix description here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511, but there is no link to download there.

For example http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2510636/ contains such link, so it is clear how to download it, while 2775511 doesn't.

Thanks. I use Avast but I'll try uninstalling it, see if chkdsk then works and then reinstall it.

I don't actually need to chkdsk the SSD at the moment as I managed to do so by booting into Windows installed on my HDD but it would be nice to fix the problem so this isn't necessary in future.

It seems that KB22775511 is not for home users, so I can't download and install it.

Should I install any other updates instead of this?

get the update from the Update catalog (use the IE to download it):

Hello, Andre!

After Enterprise Hotfix Rollup installation it seems it becomes boot faster, at least now I see "Starting Windows" screen during 1 minute instead of 2-2.5.

So, PreSMSS stage decreased significantly - 50 sec instead of 137, though other stages' duration grown up.

But as I see in logs now PreSMSS stage duration is 50 sec, and Idle takes 90% of it - is this normal?

the Rdbss.sys is slow to start.

<phase name="systemStart" startTime="20896" endTime="55351" duration="34456">  <pnpObject name="rdbss" type="Driver" activity="Load" startTime="24016" endTime="54986" duration="30970" prePendTime="30970" /> 

install the 3 updates linked in the KB page:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511

Also run the optimization again. I see a lot of black (cache misses).

3 hotfixes were installed as it was described, etl was generated after installation of all of them (2775511 + 3 updates).

So, will try to optimize again.

Btw, will it be reasonable to install updates you've meant here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/152622-hotfixes-for-faster-windows-7-bootstartup/ ?

I've run optimization again and now it seems it is much better!

Fixes from http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/152622-hotfixes-for-faster-windows-7-bootstartup/ weren't installed.

Here is the etl: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8643ABC91E5D0AD4!112&authkey=!AIfnquCcKI0r2GI&ithint=file%2c.zip

Btw, as I see, now there is no rdbss in the log.

yes, boot is a bit better but still slow (60s to desktop and 90s to be fully booted):

- <timing bootDoneViaExplorer="62430" bootDoneViaPostBoot="103730" 

The PreSMSS is now down to 19s:

+ <interval name="PreSMSS" startTime="0" endTime="19794" duration="19794">

But your HDD is still slow and busy all the time.

There is a firmware update for your ST2000DM001-9YN164, maybe this makes it a bit faster:

but the only fix is to buy a SSD. This eliminates the HDD bottleneck.
