Windows 7: Windows Experience Index - Update or Refresh Score

Emils · 12 Nov 2008

Hi.

It seems that i cant do this. Sometimes i think ive got an older release of Windows 7 build 6801 because. When i go to refresh my WEI it says Your Windows Experience Index has not been established yet. And when i try to refresh it, it cancels itself at the end, so i dont get any score.

Help appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hello Emils, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Are you running or doing anything while the WEI is refreshing? You should let the computer sit idle while it is doing this.

Thank you.

No, i let it be idle. In the properties of the Computer it says System rating is not available - like it is disabled in some sort of way. The refresh are being cancelled at the end saying: Windows was unable to calculate the Windows Experience Index because the user cancelled the assessment. Though i never even touch the computer. :S

Strange Emils,

It may be a bug since it is still a beta version of Windows 7. Howerver, check to make sure that the mouse pointer is not left resting over the Cancel button. Sometimes this may cause the button to actually be selected like this if there is a hover over to activate type feature enabled in the mouse properties window.

Try disabling your AV program and then letting it run (be sure to re-enable it afterward).

I have noticed that my drive data transfer rate score really drops well below that of the same drive/machine running regular Vista.

For instance, I have a nice quad machine with 8 gig of ram and Nvidia 9800 GT 512 meg and I was getting straight 5.9s on all categories which is max for Vista. With windows 7 I am getting very good scores with all parameters except the primary drive transfer rate cat. So my score of course is based on my lowest score which went from 5.9 to 2 for the drive. It is a 7200rpm SATA.

This has also ocurred on my lap top.

Have any of you all experienced this problem? Even though it is indicating a drop of "Score" on the drives, I see NO evidence at all of slow transfer rate during real work.

Any clues???

Thanks

I was reading on the MS TechNet forums that some of the drive scores appear to be not too reliable. My drive score went from a 5 something to a 3.0 with the rest of the Win 7 machine 5 to near 6.
I suspect this is some sort of thing MS will have to iron out before the public release. Just a Beta thing.

Thanks. That what I was hopping to hear. Maybe once the final OS is released this will be resolved. Like I said, both my machines are running great on the 7000 beta.

Thanks

When I run the WEI it makes my PC crash, telling me I have a bad usb driver?
