Same goes for these Wprime results:

Funny, eh? It's for sure a unknown bug which affects 1024M runs only (not 32M runs), which can be PITA@LN2. ;)

this problem occurs when you close explorer.exe which drives the test, to captures again to start the service explorer.exe and not visible in the taskbar window wprime.

I can confirm that. In some cases in XP when you close explorer.exe, run bench and then run explorer.exe again you have no apps in taskbar which are started before explorer.exe. This is one of the reasons why I remove taskbar from almost all my screens.

I've just tested it , after re-starting explorer.exe wprime is in the taskbar.

Possibly because some services are enabled, explorer scans for all active applications, 'detects' the wprime and puts it in the taskbar?

Not only services, but also some basic processes (svchost.exe, winlogon.exe, services.exe). After terminating anything that can be terminated XP not starts task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, so you need to keep it in the backgroung for making possible to run explorer.exe again after benchmark is finished. In such "lite" environment explorer.exe not detects tasks that was started when explorer.exe was not loaded.

 

This is example that I made on my bench XP 1.5 years ago with terminated basic processes:

Same OS before I terminate basic processes:
