About this tag
The etl traces tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of Event Trace Log files and the Windows tooling that produces and reads them. The tagged content centers on Windows Performance Recorder, which captures CPU, disk I/O, process lifetime, and startup activity into ETL traces, and Windows Performance Analyzer, which lines those events up against the same few seconds of poor responsiveness. Rather than guessing why a PC feels slow, this approach builds a timeline showing which process was consuming CPU or issuing disk I/O when performance dropped. Microsoft's Windows Performance Toolkit profiles and troubleshooting guidance are part of the same workflow.
