I can’t get the cpu usage in Timeline ,my windows version is windows 10 pro insider preview build 17025

Hi,

I’m sorry for the problem you met, please provide more information for investigating the problem:

  • GPU, driver info
  • the version of Visual Studio
  • Did the issue happen with any samples?
  • Can we have your sample to do some local repro, then we can identify the crash quickly?

Thanks,
Letitia

my GPU is quadro k2200,driver is 385.54
visual studio is professional 2017 ,versioin 15.4.3
the issue happens with every samples
i don’t know how to give you sample,but i believe it will be the windows version ,because after i update the windows 10 to insider preview build 17025.1000 ,then it can’t work.now i have stopped the windows update.

Hi 798634436,

Thanks for your information.
I’m sorry Nsight 5.4 doesn’t support WIN10 RS4.

Regards,
Letitia

I am looking forward to nsight 5.X ^_^

I also have problems with version 5.4 … it will connect and immediately disconnect. Windows 10 version is 1709 release build 16299.125

Hi,
I upgraded to NSight Visual Studio 5.4.0.17240, and while debugging DX apps still work, it crashes each time I do GPU debugging for an OpenGL app (even a basic triangle app). Any ideas what’s wrong? I’ve tried VS 2010, 2012, 2015, all with the same results.

Thanks!

Hi hiya83,
