Operating System Windows 7 time to standby (1 Viewer)

[JiRo]

I have changed system from XP to 7 and MediaPortal release too of course. From 1.1.2 to 1.2.0. All is OK, MediaPortal runs very well, except the one detail at the system level. Time from push OFF (standby) button on my remote control to end of PC activity is 40sec (by XP it was aproximetly 3-8 sec). Is it normal? What time to sleep do you have?

Timeline of activities by standby:

0. sec - push off (standby) button on remote control
1. sec - black screen
6. sec - TV without HDMI signal
12. sec - USB without power
40. sec - PC off (standby)

JiRo.

That's probably because Windows 7 is going into "Hybrid Standby". It writes the content of the RAM to the disk, in order to be able to restore to the saved state even after a power loss. If you do not have an SSD in your system, this could be the cause for the longer "Standby process" time.

Try to disable Hybrid Standby in the Power Management options and see if that makes a difference.

You could try to analyze the Standby process. Look at this tutorial: Trace Windows 7 boot/shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume issues - MSFN Forum

1. Download and install the Windows Performance Toolkit as instructed
2. Run the xbootmgr command that corresponds to "Standby+Resume" to generate an .etl trace
3. Once the test completes (you have to let it finish, so if it takes hours to actually sleep, you need to let that happen) and the system resumes and finishes the test, you can run the "Analyses of the boot trace:" section of the tutorial
