  • I have been asking the same for some weeks now. And that website didn’t answer my question clearly.

    in reply to: Windows Experience Index #47421

    Well, after a lots of time I got it at least running.

    First

    Get the file from Arris for your architecture.

    Second

    Download the WinSAT folder with all the files needed (I got this from a Vista Machine) and extract to C:WINDOWSPerformance

    Then

    Verify the status of the UxSms service.

    =================================

    1. Open the Services console (services.msc).

    2. Double click on Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager.

    3. The service status should display Started and the Startup type should be set to Automatic.

    Manually Override WinSAT Configuration

    =================================

    In the event that you need to override the automatic configuration set by WinSAT, use the following steps:

    1. Ensure that two registry values are set:

    a. HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsDWMComposition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

    b. HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsDWMCompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

    Note: You may need to create the DWM key and the two values if they do not exist.

    2. Restart the Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager service:

    a. Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.

    b. Type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:

    net stop uxsms

    net start uxsms

    Then, restart the computer

    To get the Score go to Run… in start menu and write the following:

    winsat  formal

    to get your Score go to:

    C:WindowsPerformanceWinSATDataStore

    Open the XML there and you will see your Score in a fashion like this:


    -
    5.1
    5.9
    5.1
    5.2
    5.1
    5.9
    5.9
    5.3

    And those are your scores right there.

    Here’s a Pic of it
