❔ Performance Profiler results blank

I'm trying to profile my program's (Console, .NET 7) CPU usage using the Performance Profiler, but once it finishes, the result tab is blank.
Saving the report does result in a file with data in it, so I assume the profiler worked, but the results are not displaying.
Any idea what might be causing it, or how I could get it back?

If you don't know what the issue is, but are willing to help, you could send me a .diagsession you recorded, so I could verify if it's the recording or the displaying that's broken.

I have this same issue -- and have had it for ages.

I cannot view any diagnostics, other than capturing and viewing Heap snapshots.

Even previously recorded diagsession's appear blank.

Seems to be a reported issue on Microsoft questions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/863506/visual-studio-2022-profiler-blank

I have verified that a reinstall and restart has not helped, though it has wiped a bunch of my settings, which is unfortunate.

Yeah, DirectX graphics debugger doesn't function either

I found in the chat logs that I had had the exact same problem on 15.05.2022, but I got exactly zero responses back then.
I do not know how, but I am quite sure I got it working again for a while after that.

Well, I doubt anyone will ever find out how to fix it that isn't some miracle "works for me" cure.
I've switched to NProfiler for now. Seems simple enough.

If you ever get yours to work, @coreclr, do let me know.
