After using VS2015 snapshot and profiling tools, I can't seem to get the diagnostics tools to work again. Every project, even new ones just say the following
The Diagnostic Tools window does not support the current debugging
configuration.
Tried creating new and different type projects, running as administrator, deleting program data, app data, repairing and re-installing from uninstall.
Anyone experienced this?, shame as they've improved this tool a lot in this version.
Thanks
So I resolved my issue. The Diagnostic Tools window currently does not support:
- Windows Store projects that are using JavaScript
- Windows Store projects that are running on a Windows Phone
- Debugging with Use Managed or Native Compatibility Mode
In my case I had 'Use Managed Compatibility Mode' enabled. To change this go to the following and uncheck the 'Use Managed Compatibility Mode' or 'Use Managed Native Mode'.
Tools –> Options –> Debugging -> General -> (Un-check) 'Use Managed Compatibility
Mode'
I had the same problem but didn't have checked 'Use Managed Compatibility Mode'
option. I had small research and seems like if start visual studio in Administrator mode
, I'm able to use diagnostic tools. To start in Visual studio in Administrator mode
just right-click on the studio icon and click on Run as administrator
.
For me it was PostSharp 4.3 (alpha) breaking the "Diagnostics Tools" window.
Running Visual Studio as administrator fixed this for me.
Thanks for the pointer! For me, it was the other way around, though. "Use Managed Compatibility Mode" was unchecked. Checking it got rid of the error and the debugger started working again.
