Session0InitDurationMs Session 0 initialization duration: from the start of the second smss.exe process to the start of wininit.exe. Number ms 9572
Session1InitDurationMs Session 1 initialization duration: from the start of the third smss.exe process (in session 1) to the start of winlogon.exe. Number ms 71
WininitInitDurationMs Wininit initialization duration: from the start of wininit.exe to the start of services.exe. Number ms 61
WinlogonInitDurationMs Winlogon initialization duration: from the start of winlogon.exe to the start of logonui.exe. Number ms 369
AutostartServicesMs Autostart services: from the start of services.exe to the start of the first taskhost.exe. Number ms 13269
