looks like the reading of the hibernation file is slow:

hiberread="77696000"

your Hitachi Travelstar 5K250 160GB is not the fastest HDD.

Oh yeah, those HDD is my secondary Drive and I installed at HDD Caddy, I got it from my old laptop. My Primary is SSD Team Xtreem S3 120GB and I install windows 8 in SSD.

Maybe I will try to tweak hibermate settings :-/ (size to 100%)

is this normal?

yes, those are 3 critical Windows processes which run all the time. Ignore this.

I was asking because my fresh install of Windows 8 takes 5+ minutes or so to boot.

SMSSInit is very slow.

<interval name="SMSSInit" startTime="5376" endTime="429690" duration="424314">

I need the ETL file to see more. Why are you not using the new fast startup?

The fast startup option in the power options? I am using it.
My ETL is 100mb

you have disk IO. Check if Autochk.exe is the cause (click on the left icon next to the disk io graph)

If you use fast boot, run the faststartup xbootmgr command at the end of the guide. You did the normal "old-school" boot.

All I got from the graph was ' System Processes (4) '
Also I renamed Autochk.exe, but there was no difference in the boot time.

compress the ETL file, upload it to SkyDrive or Dropbox and send me the link.

[MagicAndre1981]

the trace shows autochk runs at this time. Delete the autochk entry from BootExecute in the registry and run chkdsk yourself.

Again there was little to no difference in boot time.
Any idea why smss.exe would be taking so long?

[MagicAndre1981]

smss.exe runs so long because autochk runs during boot (smss:BootExecute)

I stopped autochk from running, there is no difference in boot time.

[MagicAndre1981]

make a new boottrace.

[MagicAndre1981]

this time InitializeRegistry takes so much time.

Add +Registry+REG_HIVE to the command (after POWER) and -stackwalk RegQueryKey+RegDeleteKey+RegCreateKey+RegOpenKey+RegSetValue+RegDeleteValue+RegQueryValue+RegCloseKey+RegCloseKey

xbootmgr -trace boot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER+Registry+REG_HIVE -stackwalk RegQueryKey+RegDeleteKey+RegCreateKey+RegOpenKey+RegSetValue+RegDeleteValue+RegQueryValue+RegCloseKey -resultPath C:\TEMP

this activates registry data collection.

I have been watching this for a while now and would like to add that there is a tracer in windows 8 that will prevent shut down. and when you try to force shut down it will tell you people are conect to your computer do you really want to shut down. The people are Microsoft !!!!! Remove t he tracer and will shut down no problem! This is what I found and did to windows 8. Get a program that will find it.

Hi!

I am having a big problem with windows 8 :

We are in a windows domain, and the 1rst login takes 2-3+ mins.
Once a user has logged on, the following logins are very fast (max 10secs).

I see after following your instructions and doing the trace that it is the explorer step that is taking extremely long (over 170s).
Can you please help me? I don't see why it would do that !!

I will attach the xml.

WinLogonInit and ExplorerInit are slow. I see you use GPOs. tweak them to as much as possible.

opening the key \Registry\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\FileSystems\Ntfs takes so much time. Open regedit.exe and look which data you have in this key.

There is no \FileSystems\ ?
