I have successfully used the WPRUI and WPA applications in the past, the last time a month ago, to identify performance problems in our C++ applications. But today I recorded a new trace of one of them, and open it just to see WPA crashing.
It's reproducible every time by opening an ETL and going to Graph Explorer -> Computation -> CPU Usage (sampled) -> unfold. Just clicking to see the CPU sampled graph list. Sometimes it crashes silently, sometimes with the dialog that lets you debug the crash.
Has anybody experienced problems like this? I don't see any support forum in the Windows Performance Toolkit site, and I would like of course to find a solution for this. Any hints are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
PS: reinstalling doesn't help. Neither does removing user preferences. The stack only showed me a problem accessing memory out of bounds, in a "Task" class, but I can't get the debug dialog to show again (it's crashing silently now, every time).
PS2: the only significant change I remember to have done in this past month is installing the CTP of Visual Studio 2015, and letting Windows upgrade a bunch of packages it had pending (I'm in a capped subnetwork and Windows doesn't upgrade automatically).
The VS2015 CTP installs a .Net 4.6 pre-release version. Maybe this .net versions causes the issue. So remove VS2015 CTP and the .Net 4.6 Preview and reinstall .Net 4.5.2.

I have the MacBook Pro with the new M1 chip with 8GB ram running Big Sur V11.1 and Android Studio 4.1.2. Over the course of a couple hours of work in Android Studio I can get 4 or so spinning beachballs of death where I need to do a force quit and occasionally Android Studio blinks out of existence all together.
I am not using the emulator. The lockups always seem to occur while I am in the middle of editing code.
I have run the Mac in safe mode and that might have slowed down the frequency of lockups, but not eliminate them. (I am not keeping count.)
I did do a data migration from my old Mac (a 10yr old Intel machine that never had this problem, just got to be too slow). Don't know if that has anything to do with the problem.
The only good aspect is that the machine is fast so I have been submitting a crash report every time!
Just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom to fix this.
Even with increased memory I faced similar issue. However managed to solve it by changing JDK used by Android Studio to M1 compatible JDK. I used Azul JDK.
Make sure to set both JAVA_HOME & STUDIO_JDK variables. Also change the project sdk to M1 compatible JDK.
I use Azul 15.0.2+7 ARM 64-bit macOS version.
Update 23 May 2021 ******
I've switched to latest intelliJ, which has M1 support and installed all android plugins. So far my experience has been exceptional. Debugging can get slow at times, but rest is just fine.
I had the same problem and after a little search i could fix it very easily...
The problem of crashing comes because is not allocated enough memory to the “JVM”.
Go to: Finder->Applications.
Right click on Android Studio. Select "Show package contents"
Go to : Contents->bin.
Right click on "studio.vmoptions". Select "open with"-> "textEdit".
Copy the Text somewhere for backup, just in case you mess it up.
Just change the numbers as shown on the 3 line below. Leave everything else as it is.
-Xmx6154m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=200m
That should fix the crashes.
I was facing the same issue, the way I solved this is I just deleted Android Studio and installed IntelliJ IDEA ultimate.
Jetbrains have an IntelliJ IDEA version special for M1 processor and it works like a charm on my MacBook Air (8gb RAM). The only downside is you can only use IntelliJ IDEA ultimate for free if you're a student, if you're not you'll only get one month of free trial.
We deployed a function a few days ago and witnessed it show up in the portal, along with seeing logs show up in App Insight. Yesterday and today we no longer see the function in the portal or in VS Cloud Explorer. I know it's still there and running because I can see the transactions showing up in our database every 15 minutes(timer job).
Any help on what's going on and/or what caused it not to show up in the portal? And how to fix this?
Looks like you are suffering from Runtime 2.0.11888 breaking change.
Temporary 64-bit platform option is not supported, this option worked for previous versions but actually w3wp.exe process started as 32-bit.
Please switch to 32-bit in "General Settings" or you can use previous version by setting FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION=2.0.11857-alpha. Next release will have true 64-bit support.
My functions disappear like yours after I switch Platform to 64-bit. They come back once back to 32-bit or set FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION(under Application settings) as 2.0.11857-alpha.
Update
Begin with beta 2.0.11946 runtime, x64 support is back.
For over a month now I've been experiencing problems with VS2017 on my home PC. I even tried submitting the feedback to Microsoft. There's more info about the problems I'm experiencing there.
The problem:
The gist of it is that VS is eating RAM like crazy. As soon as I start opening files, adding new files, using IntelliSense, building or (especially) debugging, the RAM usage skyrockets.
After that it's only a matter of time before the VS crashes and restarts without any error message. Though there are numerous error messages throughout these breif ~20min I have with each session.
Additional details I observed:
Doesn't happen with Python projects, as these don't have to be built constantly. It might be eventually happening if you debug a lot, but I didn't have the chance to check that because most of my Python coding is debugged on an external device
Size of the loaded solution doesn't matter;
UWP and WPF seem to crash the most. Console Projects take longer to crash.
Also affects .NET Core;
It doesn't matter which version of .NET Framework I use;
VS2015 worked perfectly, but I don't have it anymore after the format
What I already tried:
I reinstalled VS;
I refreshed Windows;
I reinstalled Windows;
I checked my drives and RAM for issues - none found;
I switched from Community to Enterprise;
I tried disabling extensions;
I applied some shady hotfix I found somewhere;
Finally, I installed Rider which seems to be the best solution as of now. It still lacks many important features, though.
Is there anything else I can do/try/check? Did anyone experience (and fix) a similar issue?
Cheers!
You get a System.OutOfMemoryException, this means your Visual Studio runs out of free virtual address space (4GB on 64 Bit Windows for the 32Bit Visual Studio because Visual Studio is configured to be large address aware and MS refuses to release VS as 64Bit program which would fix this issue).
To analyze the memory usage, you need to run WPRUI.exe (part of Windows Performance Toolkit (which gets installed by VS2017) for some scenarios, if not, install it on your own), select Reference Set (Note: expand the Resource Analysis entry first to see all options).
and click on Start. Capture the memory usage grow for some 100s of MB and click on Save.
Open the generated ETL with the analyzer (WPA.exe) and analyze what the process devenv.exe is doing.
Also zip the ETL + NGENPDB folder (important) as zip and attach it to your bug report so that Microsoft can analyze it.
I searched both the web and stackoverflow and I feel I'm the only one, so probabyl I'm soing something very simple ver wrong.
I run VS11 (2012) on a Win 8 64 machine and everything is nice and neat, the profiler too seems (!) to work as it should just that at the very end he's never able to show any results. I get an almost empty window which say that there are no data to show.
I used the "Sampling"
What i found browsing the web is a MS article saying the "Sampling" (which I used) is not available, which would explain it, but A) the article was about the Win8 preview and B) I also found some people giving nice examples of using the VS11 Profiler on Win 8 (in Sampling), so I know some people got it working. But how ?
I also tried running VS explicitly as Admin but it didnt make a difference. And yes, Instrumentation is working, but thats of no help for our project, we need Sampling.
I am also having this problem (I'm running Visual Studio Ultimate 2012, Windows 8 x64). It seems that if the program runs very quickly (mine runs under a second), there are no results. I decided to make it run for a few seconds and the sampling profile worked. After scouring the internet I have found some unhelpful webpages - but maybe they will report a fix in the future:
A thread on msdn about this issue
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsprofiler/thread/c609d76c-be22-4ffb-858c-73ccab591a78/
A blog saying that you should use Windows 7 to be able to configure anything for sampling (I hoped to be able to turn the sampling frequency down, but that isn't possible).

I've just installed the Visual Studio 2012 RTM on a Windows 7 x64 desktop.
Unfortunately, I'm very underwelmed by the performance of the out-of-the-box installation. Everytime I try to rename a file in the solution explorer, change to a MVC cshtml editor, open a designer view, or intellisense pops up when I start typing with the c# editor, the whole visual studio applications hangs for 5-10 seconds.
There are no customizations, plugins, extensions enabled here that do not get applied with the standard installation.
Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone else found a way to log the application faults which occur, or detect the hang. I need some way to determine what is going wrong, in order to identify what needs to be altered to rectify the installation.
The problem is you are consuming the lot more resources of the system which is causing hung state of VS. Please close any of other application who is using more RAM. You can take the help of Task Manager to close those application. Please keep in mind if you are running SQL standalone database instance services then its also causes the hand issue. The best is keep you system free from running unuseful application or Go for System upgrade. :-)
