We also look at its predecessors: MSConfig and SysEdit. AutoRuns and MSConfig allow you to view and disable autostart entries on the computer. The autostart entries are locations in the registry and file system that can cause applications and DLLs to be automatically run at startup, login, application launch, and at many more registration points in Windows.

History of the nickname Beantown. Though apparently a lot of Boston residents dislike the nickname. Sorry, Boston residents.

The driver is for volume wide encryption of files.

The driver attaches itself on top of removable media only and it works fine. There is a 6x delay when an USB drive is first attached to the system. Generally it takes 20 - 30 second to install the driver but with my filter driver it takes somewhere about 2 mins. The delay is not the there when the USB drive is plugged into the system from second time onwards.

It's certain that the delay happens for my filter driver but I am not sure how to approch this problem.

xperf -on Diag+Latency -stackwalk Profile+CSwitch+ReadyThread+ThreadCreate -BufferSize 1024 -MinBuffers 256 -MaxBuffers 256 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular

echo Press a key when you want to stop...
pause
xperf -stop -d result.etl

Look at the result.etl with xperfview.exe

Break in during the 2-minute delay and try to see what the filter driver is waiting on.

Or, I agree with Andrew, you could probably figure it out from an xperf trace as well.
