Hı, How can I enable automatic detection of applications when secure boot is enabled? I can't disable secure boot because I have applications that need it

Hi medd,

I'm reposting my reply to your other post here just in case other users come across this post looking for solutions.

Unfortunately Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzer (GPA) is unable to support the auto-detect feature when Secure Boot is enabled. As noted here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/gpa/user-guide/2024-2/connect-to-running-app.html, 

"Enabled Secure Boot setting blocks auto-detection. Either turn the feature off or consider starting the application directly from the Graphics Monitor (recommended)."

If you have difficulties starting the application you would like to capture directly from Graphics Monitor, an alternative is to use GPA  Framework - a command-line suite of tools and interfaces, which allows users to capture, playback and analyze graphics applications. As an exmapl,e You could do the following:

• gpa-injector --layer capture -a -t processNameToAttach

This would wait until the process "processNameToAttach" is started and then capture a stream. Streams captured by GPA Framework can be opened using Frame Analyzer just like a stream or frame captured using Graphics Monitor. 

There are also additional parameters that may help you attach to the process with the gameplay you would like to capture. You can learn more about this in the Process Auto-hooking Quick Tips Video, and in the GPA Framework Documentation.
