On windows 10 (with some privacy features enabled) I'm seeing

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
(HRESULT: 0xe1110002)
Diagnostics session failed to start.

When using the Performance Profiler.

I tried using a number of the available Tools, like CPU Usage, to no avail.

    Apparently, the problem was that the Visual Studio Standard Collector Service 150 was disabled. To re-enable the service, I had to do the following:

    Open Services
    Press ⊞ + R
    Type services.msc
    Click OK
    Enable the Visual Studio Standard Collector Service 150
    Find the Visual Studio Standard Collector Service 150 in the service list
    Right-click on its name
    Click Start

    That worked for me. In my case the service was set to manual start.
    Great help, thanks Matthew.
