TAM: pre analysis activation took more than 6 hours and half (crazy)
-
Reproduction steps:
1.- Install KTS2020.
2.- Update signatures.
3.- Disabled App + Drv Verif. and rebooted the system.
4.- Activated TAM via button [Enable] (NOT VIA THE SCAN OF ALL SYSTEM APPLICATIONS), and the pre-analysis started.
Actual result:
The pre-activation analysis is extremely slow and took more than 6 hours and half, I'm getting this issue since the last 2 or 3 K2020 beta builds, but not with previous.
During this analysis my system becomes unusable AT ALL! can't open many applications, others running get freezes, I even can't open Windows Task Manager to check the performance usage.
During the analysis I also got a dump, but this is not the issue I'm reporting in this post, because I know other tester has already reported it.
I have Windows 10 Windows Search service disabled, also Superfetch disabled (because I use SSD drives), don't know if TAM pre-activation analysis uses those system services.
Expected Result:
A 2~3 hours long (as maximum) TAM pre-activation analysis while I can work normally with my system, as before, in previous 2020 builds and versions K2018 & k2019.
Attached FULL TRACES + 1 dump during TAM pre-activation collected for near 7 hours -> more than 20GB of compressed data...

The issues is only reproduced during the pre-activation analysis, once is finished and TAM is enabled, the system is pretty stable, I mean, TAM remains running and not generating any dump or slowdown :)

@harlan4096, thanks for the answer! In this case, everything basically works normally. And this topic I will have to close

TAM fast pre-activation analysis almost 7 hours to finish and during that analysis the system is almost unusable? I don't think this is a normal working, this pre activation analysis was not working like this previously

I have just tried TAM fast enabling (fast pre-analysis -> just clicking in **Enable **button) with this new build KTS2020 b993... and I got shocked! THE PRE ANALYSIS WAS EXTREMELY FAST! I even could work with the system and it took about 30 minutes as maximum!!! when in previous build the same TOOK NEAR 7 HOURS AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK WITH THE SYSTEM!
Great work!
