Description
===========

BootPerformanceView is a tool for Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista that displays
the performance information of the boot process on your system. The
information is taken from the
Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational event log. For
every boot performance record, the following information is displayed:
Boot Start Time, Boot End Time, Boot Time, Main Path Boot Time, Kernel
Init Time, Driver Init Time, Devices Init Time, Smss Init Time, User
Profile Processing Time, and more... You can view the boot performance
information on your local system, on remote network computer, or load it
from external event log file.
