Using gflags "Show loader snaps" with Visual Studio

Question

I'm trying to set "Show Loader Snaps" system wide in order to see verbose logs when dll's are loaded by Visual Studio, but I don't see any additional logs in the Output Console.

'WindowsProject1.exe' (Win32): Unloaded 'C:\Windows\System32\rpcrt4.dll'
'WindowsProject1.exe' (Win32): Unloaded 'C:\Windows\System32\oleaut32.dll'

This is how I do the setup:

Is this enough? There is the same option under the "Kernel Flags" but, in that tab, the option cannot be saved.(Although I have admin rights when running gflags).

Is there a way to check that loader snaps are enabled? What could be wrong?

Answer 1

For the Visual Studio debugger to display loader snaps you must use gflags to set the option for an application, not the system as a whole. So after clicking the Image File tab see -
