I know about putting VerboseStatus=1 in the registry, and that’s fine, it shows me some stuff after I put in my password, HOWEVER I am trying to debug why something takes longer while the video card drivers are initializing, which means my monitor is black and I can’t see anything: is there a way to get a timestamped startup log with everything that goes on in the boot process? (sort of like dmesg on linux) the log event viewer does not contain enough info for this and booting with /bootlog does not give me timestamps or what’s going on.
Have you tried “Bootvis” ? It’s a utility that you can use to trace what happens during boot
(find it here: http://www.weethet.nl/english/download.php then obviously scroll down and select Bootvis - you’ll need a program than can open a .rar file)
I’ve used it in the past (but it has been a LONG while since I’ve used it)…I remember it being pretty good!
Info on using it:
interesting, I will take a look, thanks!
