This metric measures the time from when the computer begins start-up until the user’s Desktop is visible. This metric captures the time from the end of BIOS Initialization until the Windows 8 UI is shown, and it does not include the Post On/Off phase.

Detailed Sub-metrics

When the metric is expanded, a list of sub-phases (excluding the Post On/Off phase) is presented.

Note

Durations of the sub-phases do not necessarily equal the overall duration.

Typical Influencing Factors

This metric is an overall metric for boot/resume to a visible Desktop. It can be affected by any software components that run before the Desktop displays.

Analysis and Remediation Steps

Expand this metric to see the sub-metrics that provide more information on individual sub-phases. Examine individual sub-phase metrics and issues to find potential delay contributors.
