Apparently there are more bugs with this feature. I temporary enabled the network icon too. Then disabled it.

I ended up with two CPU icons. One of which is frozen.

dport: https://www.dropbox.com/s/olktxfl3dief7rz/dport.7z?dl=0

wireless network driver also causing grief - may also be part or all of the problem.  As of this evening I've disable that device and am using a usb wireless dongle which seem to have fixed some of those issues.

Thanks in advance.

Autoruns : Autoruns and WinPE

Posted: 27 February 2016 at 3:16pm

So I understand that as of Autoruns v10 it is now WinPE aware, but I can't get it working on my images (modified WinRE build 10586, x86 and x64)

1) The registry keys containing autorunsdisabled entries are loaded into the WinPE's local registry. Are they unloaded to the offline system's registry per chance? I just worry about issues re-enabling stuff after rebooting WinRE.

2) On both images I can't toggle a lot of stuff properly. For example, if I try and toggle anything under HKLM\software, it will let me uncheck it, but when I try to recheck it gives "Error changing item state: The system cannot find the file specified". If I restart Autoruns, the entry is checked again - as in, unchecking it appears to have no effect. Any ideas?

3) Also on the x64 image I get "Could not get WMI subscriptions: class not registered". Any clues on this? I figure I have missed something out from my syswow64 directory.

Thanks!

Probably also worth noting I can toggle stuff on the offline system under HKLM\system and it works properly on the x86 image.

EDIT: Oh, and when you double click a key, sometimes it tries to launch c:\windows\regedit.exe, which is in the recovery partition, rather than regedit in the WinPE or offline installation.

both boots are slow. But the difference is that the HDMI trace shows 157652ms delay at loading the Bootloader. This is strange that the video output has a difference at the boot loader loading. 

But the whole boot process is delayed by the HDD. It is busy all the time. replace your WD Scorpio Black HDD with a SSD and you'll never care about boot speed.

is slow boot when connected to the HDMI of a tv a new problem?
was booting with the computer connected to the TV hdmi something you just recently tried for the first time?
 
when you boot with the computer connected to the TV, is the the computer set to display only to the TV OR is is set to display to BOTH the TV & computer display at the same time?

Thank you for sharing that guys, but I had read and experimented with those already. I guess I'll keep learning and see what I can find out eventually. I thought you were going to ask me to send you dump info and that, how do I get to have someone look at stuff like that and see how they go about diagnosing my computer and at the same time learn how to do that?

My computer works ok for what I need it right now but well...

Thanks.

Hello pinscomputer,

Finally I had the time to take a closer look into the issue and to understand your quote from the "Sysinternals Administrator's Reference". What should I say? It helped! Party

Originally posted by pinscomputer pinscomputer wrote:

from the sysinternals admin reference:
 
"[...] Procexp depends on the Debug Programs privilege (which is granted to Administrators by default) to do this. [...]"


For those of you who stumble over the same issue some day: I took a look in the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment. Actually the Debug Programs entry was empty (don't ask me why). As also written in the quote above, by default it contains the "Administrators". So I added this, rebootet, and Bingo...

So, thank you pinscomputer for the hint. Clap

Greetings

I too just tried to download that handy sounding focus program, and was promptly informed by Windows Defender that it (or the compressed archive anyways) contained Trojan:Win32/Spursint.A.  Uploading it to VirusTotal however reports nothing scary.

Process Monitor : Can't open Help file in Process Monitor

Subject: Can't open Help file in Process Monitor

Unfortunately, Process Monitor v3.20 still has this problem (on Win 10).

I don't think it's fair to say that the problem is the missing registry key that Cypherdude mentioned, though. Process Explorer also looks for a registry key and doesn't find it (which is fair enough as these tools are never really "installed"), but eventually finds the help file next to the procexp.exe file. Process Monitor's problem seems to be that it never gets around to checking the location of the procmon.exe file. It does check the location of the autogenerated procmon64.exe file (as does Process Explorer), but of course there is no help file there.

By the way, for other Process Monitor newbies who try to follow Cypherdude's great example and use Process Monitor to monitor itself - don't repeat my mistake and forget to disable the default filters that exclude Process Monitor's own events. Smile

ok, thanks for posting your fix. Can you post the exact Asus Laptop that you use and also post a link to the BIOS that you flashed again?

Sorry for the delay.

It's an Asus UX501VW-DS71T, it shipped with BIOS 204 and I flashed BIOS 204 onto it.
http://www.asus.com/US/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenBook-Pro-UX501VW/HelpDesk_Download/

Before that, I also disabled every PCIe device I could find in the device manager except the SSD boot drive, to no avail. The issue doesn't show up anymore with everything enabled.

But here's the interesting part: After I flashed the BIOS (and fixed the issue), I formatted the SSD and did a fresh install of Windows 10 just to start over. The exact same issue CAME BACK.

I flashed the same BIOS again, and it disappeared again.

The StackExchange user (thanks for the link BTW) speculated that this is actually some funky Windows issue. Like his/her solution, I'm thinking that a BIOS flash reset whatever Windows component (ACPI?) was acting up.  In other words, it might not have anything to do with a BIOS version.



EDIT: Since I'm not a member (and can't comment on posts), I'd actually appreciate it if you mentioned that in the StackExchange post, Andre. Or not, if you don't think it's necessary... You're the expert here.

Thanks Andre,

For the sake of saving a few $$$ I'll put up with the slow boot rather than buy another drive - if there was some method of determining what was keeping the HDD busy that would good, but if not then I'll live with it.

Thanks for the interest Pinscomputer,

The problem has always existed - I originally installed the OS and configured hardware using a pc monitor over displayport - wasn't super quick, but was acceptable.  I then connected to a (sony) tv monitor to use as a htpc where it seemed considerably slower to boot windows.  At one stage I thought it was something to do with EDID exchange, but that's purely a guess.

Also have suspicions around the motherboard (at one stage it was sent back to manufacturer and I suspect the returned one is a refurbished unit, possibly with own issues).

Likewise the onboard wireless device (plugs into a mini pci slot, device came with MB), the drivers for this definitely cause interrupt issues (will load one cpu core to ~100%), I've recently installed later drivers and thought I had fixed the problem but the interrupt issue occurred again on the weekend so am resigned to just disabling that device and using a wireless usb dongle.

As you can see, the systems seems unstable on a number of fronts, so I'm really struggling on where to focus attention.

Would very much like to get to the bottom of it all, but if I don't I can live with it as is.  If the slow boot is because of HDD activity, that would be worth understanding as its a pretty simple pc build running win7 - there *should* be no reason for any disk intensive activity?

Again, thanks for the interest.

Thanks Pin,
 
that command does seem to have less holes and lets me at least do things like:
 
accesschk -s -w domain\username C:\Windows
 
and get a list of writeable folders that need to be excluded from AppLocker path statements.
 
For example; you can move an executable into the "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color" folder and the default set of AppLocker rules will let you run it.
