IE11 performance profiler not giving any results - performance

I'm trying to improve my site's performance in IE11 and I cannot seem to get any results out of the performance profiler. I've read this page and it seems pretty straightforward but I must be missing something. Here are the steps I take:
On the F12 tools Performance tab, I click on either the green play button or the "Start profiling to begin a performance session (Ctrl+E)" link.
I perform an action in my app (as simple as clicking on a field and back out)
I hit the red stop button or the Stop profiling to generate a report (Ctrl+E) link
The Profiler tab shows "Analysing the collected data:" with an empty progress bar. The progress bar never goes anywhere and after a few seconds the Profiler tab just reverts to saying "Start profiling to begin a performance session (Ctrl+E)".
This happens on any website that I try, not just mine. The rest of the F12 tabs (DOM, Console, Network) all work fine. Using IE version 11.125.16299.0, update version 11.0.49 on Windows 10.0.16299.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The performance profiler appears to be unable to show the reports it generates in IE11 right now. However, the fact that IE and Edge seem to share their debugging tools (in Windows 10 at least) might offer a viable workaround.
Press CTRL-E, perform your actions, press CTRL-E again, and wait for the performance tab to revert to its initial state. Some part of the profiler seems to have crashed at this point; you'll find that the "import" and "export" buttons won't work.
Exit the debugging tools, open them again, and open the performance tab.
Click on the (now operational) "export" button to save your profiler report.
Open Edge, start its debugging tools, and go to the performance tab.
Import your saved profiler report. It'll show up just fine now.
For what it's worth, importing your saved report into the IE11 debugging tools will result in an error about "Promise" being undefined or somesuch. This makes sense, as the ES6 Promise constructor is supported by Edge but not by IE11.

Vscode debugger hits a breakpoint on page reload

I'm debugging a react application using VS Code debugger for Edge (The newer Chromium edition, I used to use Chrome, AFAIR there was the same problem). When I reload a page, the "paused in debugger" label appears a couple of times, then disappears. It doesn't bother me too much, but the problem is it always opens Sources panel and because of that on every reload I have to open Console manually which is very annoying.
I'm absolutely sure I have no breakpoints on, the Breakpoints panel in Edge is empty, the Breakpoints panel in VS Code only contains my breakpoints and the problem persists if I disable all of them. I also have Uncaught exceptions breakpoint turned on, but disabling it doesn't help. Sources panel opens some React internal file, namely injectGlobalHook.js. Also sometimes after reloading a page I open VS Code to find that it opened a tab with react-dom.development.js for some reason. Is it supposed to work like this? And is it possible to make Console tab open on reload, because it's impossible to work like this

GAS Debugger immediately closes itself upon error; some questions about debugging

I have a script that I'm trying to debug, but the debugger immediately closes itself when it hits an error and dismisses the error message. I could manually open the log and wait for it to load every time I hit a stop, but that wastes a lot of time when it could just pop up on my screen. I figure it has to be an easy fix and I probably did something stupid, but one gets pretty tired of Google's shit when you've read blog headlines such as "THE 6 DEADLY SINS OF GOOGLE APPS SCRIPT ADD-ON DEVELOPMENT" for the 50th time in as many search queries. Anyways, rant over.
When I hit debug, the debugger will run, a white tray pops up at the bottom of my screen and stays empty. When it hits an error, it will flash the error message across the top of the window and immediately close/dismiss that error as well the tray that popped up. The tray looks like the one in the image below, except completely empty.
Has anyone else had this issue and know why it might be happening? Also, can anyone tell me if there is a Matlab-style workspace explorer that displays each user-defined variable and what kind of data it holds? I would find that extremely helpful in debugging. That, and a live in-window console/log.
This is a known issue. Star(on the top left) the issue to let Google know that you're affected and for the issue to be prioritised. Some of the features you requested is already in development

Why does visual studio not repaint the program when I click on certain places like the solution explorer tab?

I managed to get VS2013 in this strange state a couple times now: The program loads fine but when I click on the solution explorer tab, the error list tab and a few others the program won't repaint in response to my click. I have to minimize the program and remaximize, whereupon everything appears as it should have right after the click.
I don't know if anyone had this issue before.. if not, where can I file a bug report?
I changed back to software rendering, it worked properly immediately. I was using 3d acceleration.

How to make Firefox debugger run in a separate window/tab?

I do wonder if it's possible to open the Firefox's (I have 18.0.1) debugger in a new window/tab as right now the debugger's pane is too small at the bottom of the page.
[Edit]
Ok, I've made a few screenshots to show that Firefox does have a debugger on its own:
Current Firefox nightlies have a little two-window icon next to the 'x' in the debugger toolbar that tears it off into a separate window, but that might not be present in 18 yet...
If you mean Firebug, these directions should be sufficient.
Click on the Firebug launch icon so the hidden submenu appears.
Hover over "Firebug UI Location"
Select "Detached"
EDIT:
Ok I see... you are using the Firefox built in Developer Tools and not Firebug.
So as far as I understand, there seems to be no way to run the JavaScript Debugger on a separate window for non-remote work. Here is a statement directly from the JS Debugger docs:
The JavaScript debugger is available in two varieties: one for
debugging content running directly in Firefox, and another that lets
you debug code running on a Firefox OS device, or in Firefox on an
Android device. The main difference between the two is that the Remote
Debugger runs in its own window, while the web content debugger runs
in the same tab as the Web content you're debugging.
Also here is a link to the Debugger's docs:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger
Why do you think that the Debugger view is too small? If you hover over the top bar, you can drag it up/down as much as you need to. Aslo are you sure that the JavaScript Debugger is what you're trying to use? For example Firefox has other tools as well. The "More Tools" link shows other built in tools as well - all these tools together are called the "Developer Tools". Here is a link to all of their docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools
I hope this makes more sense now!

Visual Studio & SQL Management Studio: How to revert Ctrl+Tab behaviour to normal after using Microsoft Narrator?

By default, in Visual Studio and in SQL Server Management Studio, Ctrl+Tab opens a navigation popup which lists all the open windows. The idea is that you can press Tab multiple times while keeping Ctrl pressed; as soon as you release Ctrl, the navigation popup disappears and the selected document is activated.
Unfortunately, as soon as you ever run Microsoft Narrator (text-to-speech reader), this behaviour changes. The popup no longer disappears when you release Ctrl; it waits until you press Enter to select a document. While I can appreciate this behaviour may be reasonable for blind people who are actually reliant on Narrator, I find it rather irritating that the behaviour has changed permanently and that the old behaviour doesn't return even if I stop using Narrator completely.
Is there any way to restore the old behaviour so that it doesn't wait for an extra Enter keypress anymore?
Be patient and it magically starts reverting to normal after not using Narrator or Speech Recognition for a month or so.
I know this is old, but still an issue with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2008 when Speech recognition is running on Windows 7 (32bit Ultimate).
Worse yet, there is no fix per se. As a workaraound, I exit Speech Recognition, and then ctrl-tab behaves as expected.
I saw a post for changing Narrator settings, but none of the settings in Narrator (text to speech) have any effect on the issue.
