Start profiling of an already running application
I have a Windows Service developed using dotnet framework 4.8. I need to profile this using dotMemory, But the dotMemory is not list this process. dotMemory running as the administrator. When I try the “New Process Run” option, I got access denied.
As per the attached image I need to profile the PID 11028.
What could be the issue? How can I solve this?

Hi!
Could you please run dotTrace and enable “Show native processes” flag in the “Running Processes” section. Is your process shown in the list in this case?
Hi Anna Guseva,
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately it is not there.
The PID is 4612.
The Windows Service might be running under a different user account that does not have the necessary permissions or visibility from dotTrace, even when dotTrace is running as an administrator.
Please use the Process Explorer tool to compare the permissions (Properties | Security) of dotTrace/dotMemory and Windows Service processes.
Thanks you. I'll examine it and respond.
