Add Administrative Privileges
To enable such options as detecting context switches or highly accurate CPU time collection, you need local administrator privileges for running the product.
To run a standalone version of the Intel® VTune™ Profiler as an administrator, right-click the product entry in the Start menu and select Run as administrator from the context menu.
To run the Intel® VTune™ Profiler integrated into Visual Studio* IDE as the administrator, do the following:
- From the Start menu, select All Programs > Intel Studio versionand right-click Intel Studio version with VS version option.
The context menu opens.
- From the context menu, select the Run as administrator option.
Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE opens with the administrative privileges assigned to your name.
