Bought new laptop, installed Windows 7, everything works, but making the evaluation performance appears error and the evaluation stops. There is a lot of information and solutions on the Internet. this issue, but unfortunately after doing all of them the problem remained.
I will give, in my opinion, examples of solving this problem that can help you, and a little lower I will describe what all the same helped me.
So, let's begin:
Delete from folder Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore\ all files with extension .xml, run command line as administrator(Start-type in the Find cmd field, cmd.exe will be displayed in the search results, click on it right click mouse-Run as Administrator), Enter and execute the following commands in sequence:
-sfc /scannow
-secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
winsat formal
(However, after the secedit command, it says: Extended type error. Job completed with an error. Detailed information is recorded in the %windir%\security\logs\scesrv.log.)
Restart your computer, try evaluation again.
winsat formal there were no problems when performing a formal performance evaluation. i.e. in command line The performance evaluation was successful, but when I tried to evaluate it again through Computer Properties, the error still appeared.
Found another solution:
Good afternoon! Just solved this problem - removed all codecs, rearranged Windows Media Player(Go to Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features - Turn Windows features on or off, uncheck Windows media player, restart your computer. Open the components again, check WMP and restart your computer)
The problem appeared after installing KMPlayer and USSR codecs.
The option didn't work either. There were no codecs at all, but by removing KMPlayer still didn't solve the problem. Reinstalling Windows didn't help either. And I tried both 32x and 64 bit.
Then I found information that such an error can be caused by Kaspersky antivirus, but the error was also on a clean system without software at all.
And one more of possible solutions Problems:
The problem is that K-Lite either removed or something else the standard decompressor on the VC-1 and all that needs to be done is that K-Lite Codecs is not installed - install, if already installed - go to the settings FFDShow, or rather, Start - K-Lite Codec Pack - Configuration - ffdshow video decoder- and in the first section of the Codecs we are looking for VC-1, in its field will stand disabled, change to libavcodec and OK, everything =)
But unfortunately that didn't work either!
The specific solution that worked for me:
Laptop model that had this error Aspire E1-572G. Download video card driver from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download everything works, but when evaluating, there is an error that I would not do.
ALWAYS DOWNLOAD THE DRIVER FROM A INDIVIDUAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE DRIVER FROM THE LAPTOP ASSEMBLY.
We go to the site http://www.acer.ru/ac/ru/RU/content/drivers
Choose search by laptop model. In the search results, select the desired OS and bit depth. As a result, we get a list of all the necessary drivers that are specifically optimized for a particular laptop.
And as soon as I installed the drivers VGA For AMD Radeon R7 M265/R5 M240, rebooted the laptop even though the system did not ask for it. And the performance evaluation immediately passed without problems!
I hope the material will be useful!
Wanna know which part of the computer more than others affects the speed of work, and maybe even slows him down?
In Windows 7, this is very easy to do!
Click the icon Computer right click and select item Properties . In the window that opens (in the section System ) we immediately see the performance of our computer:
This rating quickly helps you understand the level of computer performance (on a scale of 1 to 7.9). And to understand which component and how it affected performance, click the item performance indexWindows (highlighted in blue).
In the window that opens, we will see a table with a more detailed report and we can easily understand which component lowered this rating.
To learn more about this assessment, you can click on the item. What do these numbers mean? or Performance Recommendations…
What is the Windows Experience Index?
performance index Windows 7 call the number of points from 1 to 7.9, determined after measuring the capabilities of the hardware and software configurations of the computer. System performance is evaluated according to the following parameters:
1) Processor (the number of calculations per second is determined);
2) RAM (number of operations possible access to memory per second);
3) Graphics (2D graphics performance for Windows);
4) Graphics for games (3D graphics performance);
5) Main HDD(speed of data exchange from the hard disk).
Base Performance Index determined by the smallest value. For example, if RAM scores 3.0 and 3D graphics scores 1.7, then the base index would be 1.7. The higher the base performance index, the better and faster the computer will perform.
Each hardware component receives a separate score. The Computer Experience Index base score is determined by the lowest score in that score sublevel. For example, if an individual component scored the lowest score of 2.6, then the base performance index is also 2.6. The base performance index is not an average of scores, but equal to the smallest.
The individual ratings can provide insight into the performance of the components that matter most to you and help you understand which components need to be upgraded.
What is the performance index for?
First of all, in order to maintain the performance of the computer at the proper level, updating those components that are rated too low. The Base Experience Index can serve as a diagnostic tool for your computer and help you identify hardware components that need improvement. However, you should not rely entirely on it, as it does not show the ability of the computer to work in extreme situations, when the system is overloaded or crashes.
The base performance index should be taken into account when purchasing programs and other software that corresponds to the computer's base index (ie, in order to find out if the computer has enough resources to work correctly with any program). For example, if the computer's base index is 3.3, you can confidently purchase any software developed for this Windows versions and requiring a computer with a base index value of 3 or less.
It should also be borne in mind that when evaluating the operation of the hardware components of a computer, their performance is taken into account separately, without taking into account joint work. That's why Special attention should be given to the compatibility of system components.
Viewing a Computer's Base Index
1. Open the section «. To do this, click the Start button and select the component Control Panel . Type in the search box, and then select from the list of results Performance counters and tools.
Or Start-Control Panel-System- follow the link Counters and performance tools»
Or press the keyboard shortcut win+pause/break in the window that appears, click on the link " Counters and performance tools», which is located in the lower left corner
Or Control Panel - System and Security - Checking the Windows Experience Index.
2. View individual and overall Windows Experience Index scores for your computer. If a performance evaluation has not yet been performed, then in the lower right corner there will be a link "Rate Your Computer", click on it (if this operation has already been performed, then the link will be called "Reassess".
This process will take some time (depending on the computer), while the screen will blink a couple of times - this is normal, it means that the graphics system is being analyzed. While the evaluation process is in progress, it is better not to run any programs at this time. Upon completion, you will see something like this window.
3. If you want to know if the index has changed after a recent hardware upgrade, click Reassess (
or, going to the command line, enter the command winsat formal).
If you are prompted to enter an administrator password or confirm it, enter the password or provide confirmation.
Let's see how the ranges of the basic Windows Experience Index and expected computer capabilities:
- 1.0 -2.0
- if the score is within these limits, then work on the Internet and office programs You can easily: suitable for most general computing tasks, work in text editors. However, its performance will not be sufficient to use the modern multimedia features available in Windows 7 (for example, the computer will not be able to
support WindowsAero, so after Windows installation will be automatically disabled) - 3.0 - allows you to use it to perform most modern tasks: working in photo and video editors, using the Aero style in Windows 7 at a screen resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels. Stuttering may occur under graphic load. For example, when watching a video or working in a graphics editor.
- 4.0 -5.0 - the best estimate for the operation of all the features of Windows 7 and the most powerful programs. It is possible to run several programs at the same time, broadcast a high-definition television signal. /
- If your computer is rated in 6.0 scores and above, the high-speed hard drive makes it perfect for highly realistic 3D graphics at high resolution.
For the most productive work systems, better do not allow differences between the assessment of the hardware components of the system by more than one point. Otherwise, it will lead to a decrease in the possible performance of the computer due to the fact that the least performing components will not keep up with the most productive ones.
The analysis of performance scores is useful if you want to find out which device corresponds to Windows 7 or the program you are installing, in order to replace this device with a more powerful one.
There is a link in the Component Performance Evaluation window Display and print detailed computer and system performance information. By clicking on it, you will open a window with detailed information about the device models of your computer. These data can be printed out and, when purchasing the program, check the capabilities of your computer with the requirements of the program being purchased.
Windows 7 has a very interesting feature that evaluates the capabilities of your computer based on hardware and software configuration. It's a pity that you can use it after buying a computer, and not before. Seriously though, this feature is called the Windows 7 Experience Index. Let's figure out what it is.
What is assessed and how?
First of all, the main components of the computer are tested for performance - CPU, hard drive, random access memory (RAM) and graphics. To get an estimate, click "Start", "Control Panel". In a large list, we are looking for "Counters and performance tools." We press.
If you have not used this feature yet, in the lower right corner you will see the “rate computer” button. If the operation has already been performed, then the previous Windows 7 performance index will be displayed on the screen. To update, click Reassess.
Do not run any programs while performing a computer performance assessment. Upon completion, a window with the results will appear.
What do these numbers give?
Grades are given on a scale from 1.0 to 7.9. Approaching the base index to the upper mark indicates the power of the computer. Don't think that the base index is an average of the received data. This is the smallest of them. In our case, the processor received a score of 5.1, memory 5.5, graphics 4.3, hard drive 5.4. From this, a base index of 4.3 was obtained.
Obviously, in order to increase the performance of a computer, it is necessary either to update obsolete components, or to correctly configure those components that have received a low rating. In our case, this is graphics.
What can be changed?
The question arises: "How to increase the Windows 7 Experience Index"? First you need to independently optimize the performance of your computer. This includes, at a minimum, the following list of actions:
- disable visual effects
- disable unused services
- spend hard check disk for errors and bad clusters
- do a disk defragmentation
- clean your computer of unused files.
Update the Windows 7 Experience Index - in 99% of cases, the above actions will affect its performance. If nothing changes, update your hardware drivers. Can be used ready programs to optimize the system, such as TuneUp Utilities or Windows 7 Optimizer. All in your hands!
IN Windows Vista for the first time such an interesting utility appeared as performance index. It allows you to see the score Windows systems according to various criteria. Subsequently, this function migrated to Windows 7 and Windows 8, but then the developers decided that it was not needed and therefore in Windows 8.1 you cannot find it so easily. However, many users liked this feature, partly to measure pussy to see who is cooler. In this article, you will learn a little more about the Windows Performance Index (score), and also consider how you can still find it out in new version Windows 8.1.
Performance Index (Windows Experience Index, WEI)- This is an assessment of the Windows system itself, the main characteristics of the computer on which the OS is installed.
The main characteristics are:
CPU
RAM
Graphic arts
Graphics for games
Disk subsystem
As you can see, it considers all the most important characteristics needed for performance.
Each of these characteristics is given its own index (number) which is calculated by a special formula. Minimum value 1 , and the maximum depends on the OS version: in Windows Vista it is 5.9 , in Windows 7 7.9 , and in Windows 8 9.9
From all these scores, the minimum value is selected and indicated as the main score. I don’t know why they did this, perhaps so that users try to increase it by paying attention to the minimum value.
How to find out the performance score (index) in Windows 7 and 8
Right click on to my computer and choose Properties.
In this window, pay attention to Estimate in category System:
click on the link Windows Experience Index for more details.
We get just such a picture, in which everything is already painted:
It happens that an assessment has not yet been made, then it will need to be done. You can also double-check if something has changed in the system.
How to find out the score (index) of performance in Windows 8.1
As I wrote above, in this version of the system you will not be able to find performance, but it is still there.
We're on our way (drive_letter_with_Windows):\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore and in this folder we are looking for a file that contains the letters Formal.Assessment .
Explanation:
(drive_letter_with_Windows)- it's usually C. You can navigate through the folders along the path, or you can simply copy and paste into the address bar of the explorer.
The file we need starts with numbers. They mean the date and time of creation, as well as other "nonsense". Approximately his name 2014-03-21 12.02.02.533 Formal.Assessment (Recent).WinSAT.xml
It opens through (usually Internet Explorer).
If there are several such files, then it is better to open the latest one by the date of creation.
The opened file looks like this:
We need to pay attention to those characteristics that are between the WinSPR tags.
I will decipher a little what and how it is indicated.
SystemScore- overall performance
MemoryScore- grade random access memory
CPUScore- processor performance
GraphicsScore- graphics performance evaluation
DiskScore- disk score
There are a few more, but they are not particularly needed. You can translate yourself if you want.
If this option seems too time-consuming to you, then you can use it and enter into it
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_WinSAT
resulting in a performance score in Windows 8.1:
It happens that you cannot find this file or the index is not displayed in it. This may mean that it has not been held yet. If in Windows 7 and 8 this was solved simply, then in Windows 8.1 you will need to enter some commands into the command line from the administrator. Namely:
winsat formal-assessment of the overall performance of the system;
winsat formal -v- assessment of the overall system performance, detailed output;
winsat formal -xml file.xml- output of the test result to the specified xml-file;
winsat formal -restart never- when re-testing, to evaluate only new components;
winsat formal -restart clean- when re-checking, to reset the history of checks and complete the check again.
It's better to use the first one.
In the end, the window will look something like this:
There are also programs to help check performance index.
ChrisPC Win Experience Index
WSAT
I liked the second one even more, because it does not require installation, it is Russian-speaking, and it also shows another additional necessary information by system and iron.
How to increase or improve the Windows Experience Index (score).
The answer to this question will be given to you both by the system itself and by ordinary logic.
As a rule, everything consists in replacing the "spare parts" of the computer. If the processor index is small, we change it to a more powerful one, if there is not enough RAM, we increase it.
It happens less often when everything seems to be normal, but the index is small. Then you need to produce.
If the disk estimate is low, we delete the excess, produce, etc.
OK it's all over Now. On the one hand, performance evaluation is a necessary thing, it helps to understand what you need to pay attention to based on a low index, and on the other hand, it is not needed if you already know that your computer is weak or there is not enough disk space =)
The user who installed Windows computer 7 wants to know the performance of his computer in order to make a rough estimate of the parameters of the computer. There are many test programs and special test packages that give a comprehensive assessment of various computer parameters - processor performance, video card, speed hard drive And so on. If you do not want to install special software to evaluate performance, the windows 7 performance evaluation built into the OS, which may not be available, will help.
Why Windows 7 Benchmarking is not available
The built-in Windows performance evaluation may not be available for several reasons. Among the most common:
- The operating system has been installed and no such assessment has yet been made.
- An unactivated copy of Windows 7 or no license key in system.
- Lack of drivers for the motherboard or video card. In this case, the OS will not be able to correctly determine installed equipment and use DirectX, OpenGL graphics acceleration, and use special algorithms to evaluate computer performance.
- Damage to system files.
- "Curve" assembly. Very often users install pirated a copy of Windows 7. Some assembly-editions prepared by non-professional users may have errors in the code and may not contain all the necessary libraries of the operating system.
On laptops, the problem of Windows 7 Experience Index not available is quite common. One way to fix the problem may be to connect the power supply, because without an external power source, the laptop can work in power save mode and some hardware capabilities are limited.
Windows 7 Experience Index - what is it
The Windows 7 Experience Index is the ability to get a basic assessment of the characteristics of your computer with the click of a couple of buttons. A person who is far from the technical nuances and features of the operation of components can get a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe performance of his computer.
What to do if Windows Experience Evaluation is not available
Among possible ways I would like to point out the following solutions:
- Reinstall device drivers by downloading latest versions from manufacturer's websites motherboards, graphics cards, paying attention to windows version and bit depth (32 or 64 bit) OS.
- Restart the computer by running the command winsat formal -restart from the command line, or simply reinstall the computer.
- Reinstall operating system(try to install from a different drive).
