Hi,
I downloaded and ran GPA's Analyze Application option and it works every time for the sample app. On the first try, I was able to get it to work for Windows Store apps as well. However, now when I run it on any Windows Store app, it always fails with: "Intel GPA Monitor failed to launch the application: Failed to launch Windows 8 Store application" I didn't change my system at all in between the success and failures. Tried restarting, etc. but no change. What could be going on? Is the Windows 8 Store monitoring known to be buggy?

Hello,
Sorry that you've run into this issue.
I don't believe that there are any open issues similar to what you've described, so let me get some more information from you.
First of all, please include a copy of your system configuration by right-clicking the Intel GPA monitor in the notification area and selecting "About...".
A few questions for you:
Thanks!
Neal
Hello,
In parallel, I've been checking with the development team, and one thing they are wanting you to check in the Task Scheduler whether there is a task called "MetroAppManager launch". If so, please kill the process, reboot, then see if this clears the problem.
I may also be able to get you a special version of Intel GPA with some additional logging information that may let us know why this problem occurs -- is this possible?

Hello,
One thing we've noticed with some systems is that using the "Secure Boot" mode of the BIOS interferes with Intel GPA's operation. I suggest that you disable "secure boot" mode to see if this helps.

ps-> we're still trying to understand why and how this BIOS setting interferes with Intel GPA -- we'll be posting more info as soon as it's available
