You want to create a new performance session, therefor click on the corresponding menu item and NOTHING HAPPENS?
This behavior happens when the Performance Add-In got disabled somehow. To re-enable it try running:
devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
If this doesn’t solve your problem Dave Lubash from the Visual Studio team recommends in his post on the MSDN forums to
repeat it after doing: devenv /ResetAddin and devenv /ResetSettings.
Good luck!
I used to get an object reference not set to instance of an object. Worked for me. Thanks!
