Tools to identify the reasons for slow performance of PC

I want to know if there are tools by which I can identify why my PC takes so long to boot and load applications.

I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager, but it goes much further.

For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

In process Explorer, please add a column. Select View, Select, columns, process, performance, and check the box before the start time. Then, select "Show processes from all Users" and click on the 'Start Time' column header. This will sort so that you can see start with the first sooner. You may need to click twice or three times.

How long it take to smss.exe loading to the main files to load? What are the files and towards the end? How long it take so that they appear after smss.exe?

Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • Is there a way to identify the reason for the disk activity?

    I am running Windows XP SP3. I often hear my hard drive makes a lot of disk activity as long as 20 minutes or more. No request probably appear in the Task Manager, and I don't think that the application using the more memory is necessarily the same responsible for application of the disk activity. I have not all the scheduled running backups, so this isn't the reason. Is there a software to help me identify what kind of reading/writing happens in the middle of this?

    Hello

    For long time I wrote the problem of my computer that is on the performance and today that I realized its hard drive is ATA. You have an idea the reason for the slow performance is?
    Satellite A300D 17F

    By the way who advised thanks me avira antivirus, perfect :)

    Hello

    I put t know if the HARD drive is the reason for the slow performance. The Satellite A300D is normally very good laptop and quite fast for all applications.

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe the performance issue is software partners and so a reinstall of Windows would be very useful.

  • Information on the performance and tools: Visual effects adjust - adjust for a performance/appearance: influence on the photos and video?

    When I enter: Information on the performance and tools: Visual effects adjust - adjust for a performance/appearance, it affects pictures and video? What is the display of the video?

    I really like what I see with better appearance. But my laptop is slow a little, and I get this Green spinning circle and programs not opening.

    But since I intend to make some photos and video editing in the computer and watch a few videos, I wondered if the work will be compromised.

    I have a few tutorials to speed up my laptop, but can someone also suggest to speed up my laptop here? I'm always willing to learn some things.

  • How to find the reason for the high use of the processor - shared server process?

    Hello

    I have a Linux server with instance and an oracle 11.2.0.3. The database is configured for shared server. I do not know the application using the database, but they have performance problems. When I check the server I see, that ora_s001 use a processor Core with 90 to 100%. Is there a way to know the reason for the high CPU load? I'm not very adept at finding bottlenecks or bad sql statements. What I found ist, that some users have very high logical_io and the same users have much cpu_usage.

    What can I do next? Thanks for the tips.

    You must Server multi-user shared for this number of sessions. The main objective os using MTS is reducing the memory usage on the server for the UGA and PGA of sessions.

    About the CPU usage, you must session which uses this server shared at the time, with process $ v and v$ session to trace. From there, check the SQL_ID running and then get his stats. This is probably one or two SQLs with large number of I/o logic. This happens most of the time due to incorrect cardinality estimates and/or bad statistics on the subject which causes suboptimal plans to generate.

  • Qosmio F20-137: is decoder Mpeg-2, the reason for freezing of digital television?

    Hello
    I posted a message to wonder about the digital TV freezing on my Qosmio problem, a problem shared with many other users it seems a few weeks ago.

    While studying this problem, I used the available program of diagnostics of Microsoft Media Center, from the Microsoft Download Center. When it runs everything passes the test apart from the following:

    First MPEG2 Audio decoder & initial MPEG2 Video decoder. According to the program, they are both inconsistent with the media library.

    Anyone know if this could cause a problem with the TV?

    Dave Shackleton

    Hello

    It is not easy to tell if this decoder is the reason for the freeze of digital television in the United Kingdom.
    I also read a few comments on this strange problem on Qosmio with digital television in the United Kingdom.
    I think that the best way to get the answer to this question is to remove this decoder application and try to use the digital TV without this software.
    It would be very interesting for me and for everyone else to know the result.
    However, check it out and please post again if you will get further information and results.

  • How can I inform the operator of the reason for the failure?

    I inherited several TestStand sequences with about 35-40 pass/fail and tests digital limits. The sequence is made to fail if a step fails.

    There seems to be several ways to warn the operator on the nature or the reason for the failure. Everything that happens now is that the Red 'sequence Failed' popup appears, and the operator gets to install UUT following. This example uses the template of "Sequential" standard.

    I am looking or the other

    1. change each affected step and change in 'Action', then adding a step later that displays a message if the stage previous "failed", then fail the sequence. Or perhaps a variant of that, to change the step so he can skip the next step if 'Pass', the next step was to pop the message and fail.

    2. having learned about the UI and then implementation. (Exaggerated this feeling but I'm open to suggestions.)

    Or y at - it another simpler way? I'd just like to bring up a text with suggested corrective action, just before the red notice "Test failed".

    Thank you.

    Take a look at the use of the callback SequenceFilePostStepFailure engine.

    There is an example found in \Examples\Callbacks\PostStepFailureCallback\FailureHandlerExample.seq

  • Anyone know the reason for the change in content of list TDMS in 2015 of LabVIEW?

    Hello

    In LabVIEW 2014 and earlier, when the TDMS content list function is used, if no group or no channel in the PDM, the function file to view the contents of the DDHN will display an empty string for the name or the name of the channel. However in 2015 of LabVIEW, for the same situation, the TDMS function content list the previous contents for group names or output channel and generate an error message (error code:-2532). Anyone know the reason for this change?

    Thank you

    Steve

    So I used a file Virgin PDM with any group and contained content in 2014 and no error and output was empty.  I then opened that VI in 2015 and it automatically inserted manifest error of the-2532.  I'm guessing that NEITHER changed something which can cause this error be seen, they will have to chime explain why.

    I tried listing the contents of the Virgin TDMS in 2015 with and without clear errors, no error is generated and the release of the content of the list was always empty.  Can you post an example of when this error occurs, as well as the odd output.

    EDIT: Also a decent work around just wouldn't be, if this generated output an error, then clear the output of this function?  An example is attached.

  • The content of my site is misplaced and shrunken Apple desktop devices. The browser provides information on devices, but the content do not place nor scale properly. The reason for this problem would be failure to adjust the size of the browser in Muse? I

    The content of my site is misplaced and shrunken Apple desktop devices. The browser provides information on devices, but the content do not place nor scale properly. The reason for this problem would be failure to adjust the size of the browser in Muse? I conceive on a 23 inches HD Windows desktop base. My site is displayed as it should, except on Apple desktop devices.

    This may depend on several things as if contents are pinned, scrolling is applied etc.

    Try to resize the browser preview in the Muse for verification, site url will help you to study.

  • What could be the reasons for overlays of Folio no do not build a scrolling region?

    What could be the reasons for overlays of Folio no not to build a scroll on a box group of texts-photos-paintings, places (in the usual way for a slider) in a container?

    Now, I found a way to do it. Save the Illustrator .eps files (curves/text converted to curves or not) in an old format (CS4) .ai files and paste illustrations in containers and adding them to the group the problem go away. The scroll box works now, but I really don't like this solution. So, I would appreciate a guru to explain this point. Thank you!

    Please read the readme.txt file. It clearly states:

    ""If you wish, include display_reject_reason could be used to display the reason.". (i.e. it has not yet been added to any page)

    What you need to do is add a line

    <$include display_reject_reason$>
    

    somewhere in workflow_review_frames.htm (or find an inclusion where it can be added).

  • What are the reasons for blocking a thread?

    There is a question in the PL/SQL forum, that as is often the case, is not to the point. I asked for more information, and the OP provided. Now, I know what the OP really intends to ask, and I can answer.

    Or at least I could answer, except that the thread is now locked: ' this thread is locked - replies are not allowed. " According to the FAQ, this means that a moderator has locked the question. But why? Why block this issue and not the other threads of the same buggy? If the lock is due to an offence on the part of the OP, why not just delete?

    In short, why hang on to a question without a question? Is it zap and slightly reduce noise in the forum, or unblock and allow for a response.

    At the very least, a policy of blocking issues without apparent reason or explanation undermines the role of contributors.

    Follow-up: I noticed that the user has at least another locked thread. So maybe there's something in their behavior that deserves imprisonment? But they have other threads that are still open. So, my main point remains valid: what are the reasons for blocking a thread? Why not just ban the userf and or delete questions?

    Agreed. If I block a thread, then I often put a message to say I'm locking it and the reason why and possibly a link to other threads of the same question if it's because of the duplication of the op.
    It is not that often that I have lock son well.
