MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

 REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Disable MsMpEng.exe:

1. start menu -> run (windows key + r)
2. write services.msc and enter.
3. Stop the following services: “Microsoft Forefront Client Security Antimalware Service” and “Microsoft Forefront Client Security State Assessment Service” doing a right click.

Then try it again.

 

(If they won't stop then right click on each and change the Startup Type: to Disabled OK then reboot.

[hmp3]

I don't see either of those in services.msc.

I see

Microsoft Antimalware Service (which is set to Automatic and currently "Started" but all right click options and options in its properties every option is greyed out).

Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service

Microsoft Network Inspection

Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service

Microsoft Office Diagnostics Service

Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider

[RKinner]

Perhaps just uninstall MSE for now.  You might try the free version of Avast.  It's what I use and I don't see page faults from it.

 

https://support.avas...-Free-Antivirus

Download the program.  Uninstall MSE, reboot then install the program per the instructions on the page.  Avoid optional software and stick with the free (Basic) version and avoid

Free Trials.

Uninstalled MSE.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES

The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution.

 REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

[RKinner]

We are really getting some good speed on the USB tests but I'm concerned about the page faults.  Run Process Explorer and click on the column header for Working Set so that the entries with a lot of memory in use are at the top then start one of the USB speed tests and while it is running Save the log.  Also report the Physical Usage percentage on the bottom.

[hmp3]

The speed tests aren't faster, they vary as they did when we started doing them. The 1mb Write speeds do happen, but I capture whatever I can with the Latency Test. Sometimes, I start too late or early so have to scrap and restart the test.

Although I removed MSE, it still showed the low speeds in test 5.

So rather than risk complicating things by installing a new AV, I restored MSE since it's not causing the problems (i.e. with MSE uninstalled, I still had to wait 10seconds for safely remove notification windows to appear, and the scanner speed warning appeared and the speedtests as explained above are still fluctuating.

[hmp3]

So you want me to

I'm confused, how do I save th Process Explorer log, it only allows me to save one item at a time. So do I save the one with the biggest memory (ignoring MSE)?

[hmp3]

Whilst I wait for your reply, I had disabled network adapter

Did the speedtest, 3 times and saw no change in the process explorer entries at the top

This Screenshot is exactly how it was, no changes to the Working Set order, or its KB amount.

 

P.S. I couldn't attach this screenshot to Geekstogo via either normal/Advanced uploader, even if I zipped it or converted it to pdf, even if I tried a different browser.

[RKinner]

Sorry I don't understand:

 

The speed tests aren't faster,

 

 

Test6:

 

W6-14
R28-30

 

Is much faster than I get on mine and better than earlier.

 

 

Look at https://helpdeskgeek...ndows-7-64-bit/

 

Go into MSCONFIG (boot, Advanced Options) and see if the Maximum Memory is checked.  Normally it is not and it says 0. 

 

I'm just wondering because your Windows uses such a small fraction of available memory you wouldn't think it would need to use the page file.

[hmp3]

What I mean to say about the speedtests is that, whne we first began doing them, they all started 6-14, then got slower over each succession, so it's like 3 tiers, 7-14, 4-7, 0.5-4. And that still happens after the things we changed.

 

It's unticked and set to "0". If I tick the box it automatically lists 12288. What would you like me to change it to?

I remember doing a windows 7 music tweak where I had to set the Paging file to a minimum amount or a fixed amount, to prevent wasting speed resources trying to continuously grow or shrink the paging file. Is that something that could cause the speed hangs and delayed safely remove notifications and scanner speed warnings?
