Trace Windows 7 boot/shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume issues
Posted on Dec 08 2009 02:23 AM by MagicAndre1981 in Guides | Viewed 6825 Times
This is an updated tutorial of the one cluberti posted here. To get started you need the Windows Performance Tools Kit. Read here how to install it:
http://www.msfn.org/...howtopic=146919
Now open a command prompt with admin rights and run the following commands:
For boot tracing:
For shutdown tracing:
For Standby+Resume:
For Hibernate+Resume:
replace C:\TEMP with any temp directory on your machine as necessary to store the output files
All of these will shutdown, hibernate, or standby your box, and then reboot to finish tracing. Once Vista/Server 2008(R2) or Windows 7 does reboot, log back in as necessary and once the countdown timer finishes, you should now have some tracing files in C:\TEMP. If asked, upload or provide the file(s) generated in C:\TEMP (or the directory you chose) on a download share for analysis.
Analyses of the boot trace:
To start create a summary xml file, run this command (replace the name with the name of your etl file)
Now you see this picture.:
You have too look at the timing node. All time values are in ms.
The value timing bootDoneViaExplorer shows the time, Windows needs to boot to the desktop.
The value bootDoneViaPostBoot is the time (+10s idle detection) which Windows needs to boot completly after finishing all startup applications.
those values show you a summary.

Now open a command prompt with admin rights and run the following commands:
For boot tracing:
xbootmgr -trace boot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP
For shutdown tracing:
xbootmgr -trace shutdown -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP
For Standby+Resume:
xbootmgr -trace standby -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP
For Hibernate+Resume:
xbootmgr -trace hibernate -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP
replace C:\TEMP with any temp directory on your machine as necessary to store the output files
All of these will shutdown, hibernate, or standby your box, and then reboot to finish tracing. Once Vista/Server 2008(R2) or Windows 7 does reboot, log back in as necessary and once the countdown timer finishes, you should now have some tracing files in C:\TEMP. If asked, upload or provide the file(s) generated in C:\TEMP (or the directory you chose) on a download share for analysis.
Analyses of the boot trace:
To start create a summary xml file, run this command (replace the name with the name of your etl file)
xperf /tti -i boot_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl -o summary_boot.xml -a boot

During the OSLoader phase (shown in the value osLoaderDuration), the Windows loader binary (Winload.exe) loads essential system drivers that are required to read minimal data from the disk and initializes the system to the point where the Windows kernel can begin execution. When the kernel starts to run, the loader loads into memory the system registry hive and additional drivers that are marked as BOOT_START.
Visual Cues
This phase begins approximately when the BIOS splash and diagnostic screens are cleared and ends approximately when the “Loading Windows” splash screen appears.

those values show you a summary.
