100% CPU - Logging of layer activation / deactivation
L.S.
Using SWV 6.1 SP7, we still experiance 100% CPU sometimes. To summarise:
- when some layers are active, sometimes the CPU usage spike's to 100% (of one or more cores).
- (one of) the problem register key('s) is HKEY_USERS\USER_TEMPLATE\Software\Classes\Local Settings\MuiCache. This can be deleted from the layer.
- after deactivating ALL active layers, the CPU hog is gone. (not just the layer with this key).
- mostly all layers can be reactivated without problems.
With over 100 layers, it's a lot off work to check them all. I would like to know when which layer is activated, so when I hear about the 100% CPU problem afterwards (mostly the system is already rebooted when I hear about is), I can check some log (eventlog / file) to discover wich layers where active at some point in time. Then I can focus on the active layers when the problem occurs.
Is there some logging, or can it be activated, about the activation (and deactivation) of layers?

CPU HOG
We are struggling with this as well.
What we actually saw is evalauted by one of my employees and this is what he found.
For every “Activate” call that is made the WmiPrvSE process starts scanning the registry entries below “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\FSLX\Parameters\FSL” to enumerate the present registered layers.

Hi,
I started another topic, trying to reduce not a temporary but a static CPU hog. It's mainly about cleaning up layers. Please check
