Most traces I generate on my machine are considered invalid by WPA.

wpr -start power
:: Wait about a minute
wpr -stop power.etl

The process gets about half way before giving up:

Having moved traces between my machines, I can see that the trace file is the problem.

Traces moved to this machine work with this instance of WPA, but traces moved to other machine's instances of WPA still fail to load.

Please could I get some guidance?
I'm trying to get to the bottom of why my computer won't sleep anymore, and I've exhausted the capabilities of powercfg.

Have same issue, Windows Performance Analyzer (Preview) from windows store solving this.

Answer 2

Hi Harry,

Could you try the latest preview of WPA in the ADK or SDK?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewSDK

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewADK

We are tracking an issue with an ETW event emitted by .NET 7 that reports a similar error code during processing, the latest previews have a mitigation to work around the issue.

Any update to this issue? I just installed the SDK v10.1.22621.3233 from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2261842 and performed the Boot Trace using WPR on my W10 Pro 22H2 Build 19045.4170. WPA v11.1.5.2 got to about 50% while analyzing the .etl file, then gave the dreaded error: "An exception occurred while processing the events: 0x80070032".
