The store URL which is passed to the powershell script can be found with a web search for “ Microsoft Store”. I’ve found that powershell script handy multiple times, for getting Windbg (Preview), SizeBench, and this. The installed versions will be kept up-to-date just as if they had been installed from the store.

In both cases the powershell script downloads the AppX file which you then run to install WPA. These commands will do the trick for the preview version (you can skip the git clone step if you’ve done it already): > powershell Scripts\OSD\Download-AppxFromStore.ps1 These commands will do the trick for the regular version: It is still possible to install apps from the store, it’s just a bit more work. If you are working at a large company then access to the Microsoft Store may be blocked, but do not despair. It is quite safe to install both versions, which is what I have done on my machines.

Among other issues the Windows 10 store won’t let me rate or review the preview version because I don’t “own” it, despite having it downloaded. The Microsoft store is inscrutable and unpredictable, especially on Windows 10. Sometimes the former search will find both, but sometimes it won’t.

That said, the store versions have the possibility of being newer than the SDK version (the store preview version was the newest version for several months) so it’s worth knowing how to get them.įor many users you just need to open the Microsoft store and search for Windows Performance Analyzer or Windows Performance Analyzer (Preview). You can then postpone worrying about the store version until (and if) it moves ahead of the SDK/UIforETW version. This will automatically install 10.6.20.1, and you’re done. The simplest answer is to grab the latest release of UIforETW (1.5.6) and run it. With three different options for getting WPA it’s hard to know what to do. I haven’t measured the performance of the new version’s symbol transcoding but it’s fast enough that I don’t much notice the delay – five minutes perhaps? Maybe less? It’s a big improvement. Given that we ship daily builds of Chrome Canary, and given that I sometimes profile local Chrome builds, I was having to wait the more than twenty minutes quite frequently. Chrome has large PDBs and they were taking more than twenty minutes to process with the previous version of WPA. However the biggest advantage of the new version is that transcoding of large symbol files is much faster. The new WPA also removes some limits that made some large traces impossible to load in old versions of WPA – previously WPA would crash when loading these traces. The 10.6.20.1 version of WPA has a new Other section in Graph Explorer which contains a CPU Frequency graph which I’m hoping will be useful. The preview version is currently sitting at 11.0.8.2, has a refreshed UI and Dark Mode, and supports v1.0 Release Candidate of the Performance SDK for building processing plugins. Update: As of late November the preview version of WPA is once again ahead of the non-preview version. For a few months this was the most recent version available. Starting in 2018 WPA has been available from the Microsoft store and the hope was that this version would be updated more frequently, however this version was also not updated for a long time.Įarlier this year, however, a new preview version of WPA (cleverly called Windows Performance Analyzer (Preview)) became available from the Microsoft store, with its debut version being 10.6.20.1. However the SDK version was not updated for a long time. ETW is the best way to analyze performance on Windows, and Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA) has been the preferred tool for analyzing ETW traces for ten years now, generally obtained either by running UIforETW or by getting it from the Windows 10 SDK.
