Download and Install Windows Performance Toolkit in Windows 10

Training the ReadyBoot/Prefetch caches with xbootmgr.exe is not for the "faint-hearted" as this is a Vista procedure (10 years old) that involves BCD (registry) but apparently works with W10 UEFI drives as well. Not for SSD only HDD. I had one weird boot ("Prepairing Windows" prompt) that got me partly in Safe Mode without the Start menu. This may have been caused by uninstalling the MSMQ Server rather than xbootmgr.exe. After that no more booting issues.

Agreed. It is involved, but luckily worth the effort.

With a caveat that active W10 cache database files will be partly located in WPTK program folder (mixed with x86 WPTK system files) and partly in the x64 windows Prefetch folder. When I tried to clean up this mess in the WPTK folder booting crashed, when I restored the etl files (Recycle bin) W10 booted OK again, now with 47 sec. but still very fast. I am asking MS WPTK forum if the command is not suitable for W10 or if there is a DB app available to manage the WPTK folder-cache

Will I be able go back to the original boot status before running xbootmgr and uninstall WPTK without crashing W10, or will I be stuck with this new x86 WPTK boot configuration in my x64 system that may cause issues when updating/upgrading windows10? I did create a restore point before I ran the xbootmgr command so can roll back that way if I want.

Update: 6 Oct.
Still running with WPTK, BootTimes varies between 45-60 sec but it always trims back to 53 sec. The degradation of boot times are monitored and adjustments/training of ReadyBoot actively works. Tried also without WPTK (uninstalled) but never get the BootPostBootTime <25 sec (or total boot 60 sec.).

Update: 29 Oct.
My laptop turned into a "brick" last week: No Bootable Device prompt when power up, only F2 (BIOS) worked. I tried the HDD in a USB case on another pc as external and that worked fine, scan found no errors (SMART). Conclusion the GPT partition got corrupted ether because of the WPTK commands and HDD MBR optimization or something else (virus is ruled out as nothing was detected, (CD, USB drive and HDD) by BIOS.
Finally I turned my laptop in at Acer Services in Manila who (at no costs) reformatted the drive, loaded the Acer driver bundles and W10 build 19041 (2004). Careful with Acer Aspire laptops and the boot optimization attempts with WTPK discussed above, it may corrupt MBR!

Windows Performance Recorder captures 'System Configuration' data --that can be viewed within the Windows Performance Analyzers' Trace (menu) | 'System Configuration'.

We have deep concerns with voluntarily sharing this amount of system information to resolve a third-party software crash. However, this third-party software crash can, and sometimes will, take the OS with it; yet leave the hardware powered 'on'. For that reason, it is thought generating dmp files, along with etl files, would help greatly.

How do we omit some, or all of, the 'System Configuration' data before submitting our 'Windows Performance Recorder' file(s)? --Without breaking anything.

Respectfully.

I'm not sure how either.
