Add or Remove a Custom Recording Profile

Applies To: Windows 8, Windows 8.1

This procedure describes how to add a custom recording profile in the Windows® Performance Recorder (WPR) user interface (UI). For information about how to start a recording from the command line, see WPR Command-Line Options.

To add a recording profile

  1. On the WPR screen, if the options are hidden, click More options.

  2. Click Add Profiles.

  3. Navigate to the location that contains the profile files, select the .wprp file, and then click Open. WPR will validate the schema of the .wprp file before it is added to the profile.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add additional profiles. You can use up to 64 profiles for a single recording.

The profiles that you added will display under Custom measurements.

To remove a recording profile

  2. Right-click the custom profile that you want to remove and then click Remove Profile.

The Remove Profile button is visible only if custom profiles are present. You can only remove custom profiles: you cannot remove built-in profiles.
