Question

Why "Filename" is truncated in Windows Diagnostic/Performance log ?

Anonymous

Hi,

I have several entries of Windows Diag/Performance log that have truncated file name. Without seeing full name/path, I cannot identify which programs are slowing my computer startup.

This application took longer than usual to start up, resulting in a performance degradation in the system startup process:
