microboom Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Your Windows boots in 36s to the desktop and is fully booted in 65s: <timing bootDoneViaExplorer="36634" bootDoneViaPostBoot="75334"What I can see is that 2 services start slowly:<serviceTransition name="MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="8525"<serviceTransition name="WSearch" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="8668" if you don't need MS SQL Server Express all the time, start the service on demand.The largest delay is caused by starting all apps at logon. Do you really need all those Logitech tools at startup?I don't, they must have popped in with Visual Studio, or something else.How many Logitech tools do I have at startup? I thought I only had one (setpoint). I thought I disabled like my webcam, and what not. I'll disable the entry in MSCONFIG for Logitech anyways. What other applications are starting up? I try to keep stuff clean in MSCONFIG and services. I'm new to working in the services section so I'm sure there must be stuff I'm missing. But in MSCONFIG I only have:MSERealtek HD Audio MangerHD Audio Background ProcessMicrosoft Windows Operating SystemJMB36X IDE SetupUSB 3.0 MonitorDropboxI feel like one of those audio items can be disabled, but I'm not sure which one. The Windows OS one is for gadgets, JMB I'm pretty sure is for my external esata drive, and I think I need the USB3 for my USB3 ports to work. Dropbox I guess could be disabled, and I could just start it up manually, but I like the convenience of it starting on its own. Since I use it a lot.But, I'll disable some of the above, and see what happens. Are there any other stuff starting up that I did not mention above? Thanks for the boot trace decrypt https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14475416/boottrace2.rarThere is a more updated boot trace. After turning some stuff off, and some more.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 boot is now much, much better:<timing bootDoneViaExplorer="25069" bootDoneViaPostBoot="40769" osLoaderDuration="2073" postBootRequiredIdleTime="10000" postBootDisturbance="5700" so booting to the desktop takes 25s and running all tools at startup only impacts Windows by 5.7s and Windows is fully booted in 30.7s I think this should be ok.

ElGringo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi, i have with success done the trick for speeding up my system boot, but now i have a small question... is the xbootmgr.exe the cause i now have apparently new files in the Windows/Prefetch/Readyboot folder?Those files have extension *.avail, *.dqpafm, *..dqpafmsg, *.dqpa, *.dqpaf and seems to be refreshed after every bootup. Are they necessary for the OS, or only a logging purpose? They also make extra hard disk activity immediately after the system seems to be operational. Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for my bad english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 those files belongs to ReadyBoot, the advanced prefetcher which makes Windows booting faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGringo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) those files belongs to ReadyBoot, the advanced prefetcher which makes Windows booting faster.Last week i have formatted and installed in a brand new laptop Windows 7 Home X86 Service Pack 1 (with all Windows Updates), and i see in this folder only five Trace*.fx files, with one Readyboot.etl file. I have also rebooted it so many times, but the new files that i have in my pc don't appear in the laptop. Sounds strange Edited August 27, 2012 by ElGringo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Simply ignore the new files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladv Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 MagicAndre1981,I tried the boot optimization process you suggest in this guide.But it seems that I get those two error popups after only one reboot , I get the following messages: first one is ” Waiting for prefetcher...” which stays on screen around 3 minutes or so and after that comes this one:” Microsoft Windows Performance Analyser : Gave up waiting for virtual prefetcher after 300 seconds.Could not wait for prefetcher.Couldnt find kernel logger in active logger list.Couldnt find user-mode logger in active logger list” and no more boot from now on (it should be 5 more times , or not ?),please help me with this problem when you have the time!

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 First, update the WPT. I've replaced the links with the Win8 version and if this doesn't help, try the suggestions from here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wptk_v4/thread/b88aa183-d3ee-4cd1-92d6-e466c07e1a2f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) looks like you are using the 64bit version on a 32Bit Windows Vista. On a 32Bit Windows you can only use the 32Bit version. Edited September 17, 2012 by MagicAndre1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
