I run windows xbmc. When I start xbpc it takes about 3 minutes before xbmc pops up. The process lands in taskmanager just as I click and loads 24%. Im on a Asrock 330HT.
When I do this exact procedure while remote controlling this htpc with remote desktop xmbc starts in 2 seconds.
Any ideas?

If you look at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/Dharma...cation.cpp your XBMC is pausing somewhere between lines 594 and 602. Unfortunately there isn't any debug info to indicate whether it's the g_Windowing.InitWindowSystem() or g_powerManager.Initialize() that is causing the pause. I'd guess it's the InitWindowSystem call if it works from an RDP session.

As to why it's pausing I don't know. I've never seen this problem before. I'd guess it's something to do with video drivers.

I tried with nvidias ION windows 7 280.26 drivers, but nothing changed. It took as long as it did with the windows 8 285.16 drivers.

I'd missed the fact you're using a Windows 8 beta. I don't have Windows 8 installed anywhere so I can't help any further.

Windows 8 is not supported at this time and we won't even try for a while. To pinpoint the problem more exactly, we'd need a debug log, not the standard log you provided.

Im installing windows 7 to see if the problem persists. How do I get the debug log?

Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging.

However in this case it wouldn't help because there are no debug logging statements between lines 339 and 340 of your log, which is where the pause occurs. You would have to run XBMC in a debugger to find out where it's stalling, or create a custome build with extra logging info.

I tried windows 8 on my other asrock and I got the same error. Then I reinstalled with windows 7 and it works perfectly. Guess Ill have to wait abit longer with windows 8, or wait 4.5mins / xbmclaunch.
