A Brief introduction to Windows Performance Toolkit
This lecture will show you how to download and install Windows Performance Toolkit.
Windows Performance Toolkit use a Windows built in facility called Event tracing, to record traces. I'll introduce the concept behind Event tracing and how WPT use this mechanism to record events and analyse them later on.
Recording a trace is the first step when troubleshooting a performance issue. In this lecture I'll show you how to use Windows Performance Recorder (WPR) to record a trace according to the issue you want to handle.
Explore graphs and tables showing CPU usage for processes over time, with synchronized highlights, tooltips, filtering to a single process, and zoom for focused analysis.
Learn to configure tables in WPA, use the view editor to add columns like thread ID and stack, and interpret the gold and blue bars to analyze explorer.exe CPU usage.
Configure symbols in WPA to reveal function names in call stacks using PDB files and online symbol servers, with a local cache or network path for performance.
Demonstrates how to generate debug symbols, record a trace with WPR, and read thread call stacks in WPA to analyze functions A, B, and C and their waits.
An introduction to Processes and threads concepts.
Explore how the Windows dispatcher schedules thread execution using priority, quantum, and thread states, and how context-switching and preemption manage ready, running, and waiting threads.
In this case study, I'll show you how to use the critical path analysis to identify what causes SQL Management Studio slow startup.
In this real case study, You will learn how to identify what causes a user logon delay on Windows domain joined machine. In this part, I'll show the how to use the critical path analysis technique.
In the second and third part I'll show you the use of the Generic Events and the Regions of Interest graphs.
Use the generic events graph to analyze winlogon events and identify gaps in the logon phase. For example, a 31-second gap illustrates how to hunt boot delays.
Use regions of interest in WPA to quickly trace boot and logon behavior from pre-session init to winlogon by loading boot catalogs and inspecting time-span events.
In this case, I will show you how to troubleshoot a delay that occurs when running a program as an Administrator. The User Account Control (UAC) prompt took several minutes to appear.
Trace a 36-second uac delay by analyzing the consent thread with in-focus and cpu graphs, uncovering a stale hostname reference in lsass registry keys; renaming fixes it.
Analyze the Explorer init phase and post boot phase to identify CPU bottlenecks, highlighting Sophos antivirus, rapport management service, and CCC.exe; disable startup items to improve boot time.
In this real case study, you will learn how to use Windows Performance Toolkit in order to improve Windows boot performance.
How To Fix a Windows Slow Boot in 10 minutes With This Proven Technique?
A few years ago, I was working as a system administrator and also as a desktop support engineer.
One of the most frustrating problems I was facing was bad computer performance; A Windows computer that takes 5 minutes to boot, Windows Explorer that takes ages to display folder content, Applications that are slow to open ...and so and so.
You Wasted My Time Without Fixing My Problem!!
I was spending hours on the user's computer trying to fix those performance issues, and most of the time, I end up re-installing Windows hoping this will fix the problem.
But guess what? A few days later, the user comes back with the same problem, but angrier.
I was feeling like incompetent!
Until one day, I Discovered Windows Performance Toolkit.
Windows Performance Toolkit made my life easier than before. And he can do the same thing for you.
I'm going to teach you how to use Windows Performance Toolkit with a proven troubleshooting technique so that you can solve those tricky Windows slow performance problems quickly.
This will make your users and customers happier and make you more successful.
