I'm trying out uProf for the first time, but I hit a roadblock right away in the form of this message in the bottom-left:

WSL2 is enabled, which enables "Virtual Machine Platform". Only Timer-based profiling available. Turn off WSL2 and restart system to explore more profiling options.

Sure enough, I only have timer-based profiling available. So as the message instructed, I've tried removing WSL2 from my system by disabling the appropriate Windows feature, but the problem persists.

I don't really know what else to try, and the User Guide doesn't mention WSL2 at all. If anyone has any insight or ideas, please let me know.

Some possibly relevant info:
OS: Windows 10 22H2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

The command to disable VirtualMachinePlatform fixed it for me. Thank you!
