Where can I download WPF Performance Suite for Windows 8


Ok, I have it running under Windows 8, but afaik only for framework 4.

Download the tools (link borrowed from Athari above)

Install and it test. Select visual profiler and attach to a process. If it doesn't appear to work, download this patch from MS.

After installing the patch I now have it working again. This is on Windows 8 pro running on a Dell XPS 17 i7 based machine.


I managed to get everything downloaded and working under Windows 10 with a .NET 4.5 WPF app.

  • Follow instructions from Microsoft at Where to Download WPF Performance Suite? (Perforator, Visual Profiler). You need to install both the app, and its timezone patch.
  • You must run the WPF profile app before you run the target app.
  • Try running the target app as Administrator. It needs elevated privileges, or else it will not appear in the Select Process dialog.
  • If you cannot run the target app as Administrator, then you can still use Actions..Launch Process to launch it.
