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

ShutdownPerformanceView is a tool for Windows that displays the
performance information of Windows shutdown process. The information is
taken from the Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational
event log. For every Windows shutdown performance record, the following
information is displayed: Shutdown Start Time, Shutdown End Time,
Shutdown Time, User Session Time, User Profiles Time, Services Time, and
more... You can view the shutdown performance information on your local
system, on remote computer on your network, or load it from external
event log file.

This tool works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows Vista
and up to Windows 11. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.
