Hello,

According to this page : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/advanced-concepts/installing-pix-hololens it should be possible to use PIX to do graphics debugging on the HL2

But I cannot get PIX to connect to the Hololens Device, I tried 127.0.0.1 like in the article, as well as the actual ipoverusb IP address of the device, nothing works, I always get this output :

User's image

Regular deployment and CPU debugging over USB works fine in VS.

The graphics debugger inside VS also fails to start with this message User's image

I did a full reinstall using Advanced Recovery Companion to no avail

Thank you for your help

    Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Based on my tests, PIX version 2310.30 and newer releases cannot connect to HoloLens and the version 2305.10 is fully functional. Try using 127.0.0.1 or UsbNcm IP to establish a connection. To find your UsbNcm IP, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/advanced-concepts/using-the-windows-device-portal - connecting-over-usb.
