Prefetch

Windows Prefetch parser. Supports all known versions from Windows XP to Windows 11.

You can get a command line tool that uses this libary here:

https://github.com/EricZimmerman/PECmd

Open a file with PrefetchFile.Open(path) (or PrefetchFile.Open(stream, name)) to get an IPrefetch with the header, run times and run count, loaded files, and volume information. Windows 10/11 compressed (MAM) files are decompressed with a built-in managed XPRESS Huffman decoder, so every version can be parsed on any OS.

Open throws PrefetchParseException when the data is not a prefetch file or can't be decompressed. Corruption after that does not throw: the damaged sections are left empty, and ParseErrors lists what went wrong.

PrefetchHash.Calculate(devicePath, version) computes the hash Windows uses in prefetch file names, so a loaded file path can be checked against Header.HashValue.
