Disabled "Memory Usage" option in VS 2013 Ultimate - visual-studio-2013

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4. I create a project, compile it and start "Performance and Diagnostics" tool. When it starts the "Memory Usage" option is disabled. How can I enable it? Thanks.

Apparently, "Memory Usage" option is available only on Windows 8.1 systems. In my case, VS2013 runs on Windows 7.

install C++ "X64 Compiler and Tools" on Visual Studio 2017

I'm trying to run LevelZap on Windows 10 and the readme states the following:
In order to build all targets, make sure to install the x64 Compiler and Tools
I've gone to Control Panel → Visual Studio Community → Change/Modify but this particular category isn't listed that I can find. A little help please?
Run the "Visual Studio Installer" which is a desktop app (the same thing is launched by the Modify/Change button you hit).
Select "Modify" for your Visual Studio Community 2017 install.
Select the "Individual components" tab.
Under the section Compilers, build tools, and runtimes you can verify you have "VC++ 2017 version 15.x v14.x latest v141 tools" selected. If not, select it and hit Modify.
This component includes booth the x86 and x64 toolsets. Only the ARM and ARM64 toolsets are split out as individual components.
For more on the VS 2017 installer, see this post.
That said, the tool you are using needs to actually supporting finding the toolsets for VS 2017, so the problem way well be in the other software and not your system setup.
Try installing the build tools for Visual Studio 2017 using one of the installers from the website https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Starting Windows Driver Development

I am planning to start developing windows drivers and I have some questions.
How can I start a simple Visual Studio driver project? I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 and I have read on MSDN how to make a simple software driver, but in the tutorial, in the New Project window, there are more options than I have. To be more precise, I don't have Templates > Visual C++ > Windows Drivers. Or If i am searching online for User Mode Driver (UMDF), I can't find nothing. I have installed WDK 8.1
What additional changings should I do in order to build correctly a driver project?
VS2012 does not work with WDK 8.1.
You need WDK 8.0
I believe WDK 8.1 may not work with Visual Studio 2012. I did confirm that you can install WDK 8 on top of Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, and the project templates will show up.

Maybe try this?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms247116%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
To restore the default project templates
In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE.
NoteNote
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must open the command prompt as an administrator by right-clicking the command prompt and then clicking Run as administrator.
Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter.

Low performance of Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2013 is very slow on my machine. I have an i5 with 4 GB Ram.
I am using Bar mode for vertical scroll bar
I have disabled CodeLens
I have also tried the suggestions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894215
What other options should be disabled to increase performance?
Try Running it in administrator mode, or Change it's compatibility to windows xp service pack 3. You can do that in control pannel or right click on the icon and go to properties and change it in compatability mode.
Changing a couple of settings might help:
In Visual Studio, Navigate to: Tools > Options...
In general group un-check "Enable Rich Client Visual Experience " and "Automatically adjust visual experience" options.
I think this will help.

Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 always requests adminstrator permissions

I am running Visual Studio 2005 with the Vista-compatible SP1 installed on Windows 7 64 bit. I get this error (see screenshot) every time I start Visual Studio, even when I use the "Run as Administrator" menu option and/or set the shortcut options to always run as administrator. How do I fix this?
Run as administrator is fine but, have you tried un-checking the "Always show this message" option? I guess you haven't try that

Windows Mobile development in Visual Studio 2010

I just pulled the 2010 ultimate from MSDN, and I see there's no "Smart Device" options anymore. Does anybody knows how to enable it, or how to install it?
Sincerely,
Yvan
According to various sources in the net Visual Studio 2010 doesn't support Windows Mobile 6.5 development (see here and here for example). Of course there might be an SDK available in the future. For now, you need to use Visual Studio 2008.
Now you can with windows phone SDK7.1 You just need Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and download the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from here
