Windows Profiler Utility

Dave Hooton

To clarify, this utility is for performance issues i.e. stalls, hangs, program "not responding", and slow responses, but not for crashes? What about the 'sudden crashes' that require the Event Viewer logs? Will the Profiler have an output without the Stop command?

Finally, does it replace diagnostic logging for problems/bugs?

Correct.

Upload Event Viewer output, or use ProcDump.

No; is there a use case you're thinking of. (The only one I can think of is profiling shutdown of the application, but that's not a top priority for us right now.)

No. It augments diagnostic logging for performance bugs only.

No; I wanted to clarify how the command works and thus confirm what it cannot be used for.
