I'm running 7 on my Dell Mini which has been upgraded to 2GB RAM and shut down is taking anywhere between 30-40 seconds. Checking the Event Viewer shows a lot of Event ID 200 entries, but very little information in them to allow me pinpoint exactly what is causing the issue. Any ideas on what I can do to improve it?

Edit: Here's one of the entries from Event Viewer.

those both values are too high:

<Data Name="ShutdownPreShutdownNotificationsTime">7932</Data>

it takes 8 seconds to notify the running programs, that Windows wants to shutdown

<Data Name="ShutdownKernelTime">13190</Data>

this is the time which Windows needed to shutdown the rest (devices, drivers and windows itself)

follow this guide:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=117154

to trace the shutdown process. Open the resulting etl file and look if you can see which applications need a long time to close correctly and if you can see why the kernel shutdown takes some time.

But you have to use the WPT 4.6 from the Windows 7 SDK. The version 4.1.1 from the linked page doesn't work on Windows 7.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
