AndreiLis Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hello, Andre!I think it is a great result to decrease boot time so significantly, at least this is acceptable for me.Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper12321 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi Andre, I could use a hand with my extremely long boot up. Cheers!Boot trace and Summary XML:http://sdrv.ms/1b6o47B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 your HDD is busy all the time. This is the bottleneck. Remove as much tools from startup you can or replace the Hitachi HDS721010KLA330 with a SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove as much tools from startup you can or replace the Hitachi HDS721010KLA330 with a SSD.Do you think using Intel's Smart Response SSD caching would provide any meaningful benefit? Prices for larger SSDs are rather prohibitive for me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have no experience with this Cache technology. So I can't tell you how much it improves boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper12321 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks Andre. Short of replacing my HDD, is there anything else I can do in the meanwhile to improve my boot performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 not really. A SSD is the only real way to improve boot perf a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheApocalyptican Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I'm trying to diagnose slow resume from hibernate/sleep. Cold boot is fine. When running the command for the hibernate trace, it all works fine. However when I try to create xml file, all I get is a 1kb file that says "Boot action failed: No Winlogon notifications found.^" inside of it. Nothing else. What might I be doing wrong?

spectre56 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Hi I am trying to find out why my Windows 7 Ultimate 64*bit is taking 12 minutes to shutdown. This just started about 4 days ago. You can access my shutdown trace at:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwn39Ds6xxytdnlLOGVTb3J1djQ/edit?usp=sharingI was not able to create the summary xml file for some reason.Thanks DaveOkay here is the file on Skydrive. I didn't realize that you couldn't reach it on my google drive.https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=309906858EA22F0A%21120Looking forward to what ever you can do to help me out.

TheApocalyptican Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Ok...so I figured out my previous issue. I have tracked the problem down to the "resume". It is a long amount of time. I am not able to see in the xml why the resume is so long, so I'm adding a link to my skydrive and the trace.https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=901462CA8A88F20D!168&authkey=!ALQ-ntzaGMesvV0&ithint=file%2c.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 reading the hibermation file is slow for you:hiberread="18835000" that are 19s. The WD green is an extremely slow HDD. Use a different drive (SSD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheApocalyptican Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah...I know that's part of the problem, but I think I finally discovered the real issue. Something with thumbnails causing a problem. I disabled thumbnails and cut the resume down to 50xxxxxx rather than the 198xxxxxx it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 interesting find. I can't see this in the trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheApocalyptican Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I tracked it to a dllhost.exe I believe, and then "in" the dllhost the acutal process name was just a bunch of random characters. I searched for the string of characters online, and it lead me to something about DCOM and thumbnails.edit: it was dllhost.exe (6044) which the command line section in performance analyzer said "C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe /Processid:{AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}". That process id leads to "Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server DCOM entry". Since this is an HTPC, and not a desktop, I really don't care about thumbnails, so I just disabled them, and cut my time to 1/3 of what it was.
