Hello,

Can you show me a screen shot of the step: "select client as IE then"? I did not encounter this step following your step.

Another workaround is to profile your site in command line (vsperfaspnetcmd.exe):

Or using vsinstr.exe:

Please have a try and let know it it persists。

Best regards

I think the profiler needs you web application settings to say http://localhost in order for this to work. I had the same issue using a host header site name and it did not work. I changed Visual Studio to use localhost and all was ducky.
