Windows Performance Analyzer

Applies To: Windows 8, Windows 8.1

Included in the Windows® Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK), Windows® Performance Analyzer (WPA) is a tool that creates graphs and data tables of Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events that are recorded by Windows® Performance Recorder (WPR), Xperf, or an assessment that is run in the Assessment Platform. WPA can open any event trace log (ETL) file for analysis.

You can download WPA by visiting https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=293840.
