WPT: Updated version of “Windows Performance Toolkit” 8.1 update from the ADK or SDK.

Hi all,

For those of you that are using the “Windows Performance Toolkit” actively in your troubleshooting, here is an update regarding the tool.

For those of you that missed, here are the two blog posts regarding installing and capturing data with the tool:

WPT: Installing the Windows Performance Toolkit v5.0 (WPRUI, WPR, Xperf)

WPT: WPR/Xperf: Capture high cpu, disk i/o, file, registry, networking, Private bytes, Virtual bytes, Paged Pool/Nonpaged pool and/or application slowness.

As of April 2014, our Product Group released the “Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update”

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39982

Please go ahead and download the tool.

It contains new bits and added features.

The confusing part is that the WPRUI/WPR/WPA are the same version 6.3.9600.16384.
