I am trying to use Visual Studio 2015 Diagnostic Tools but when I open the window I get this message:

The diagnostic tools failed unexpectedly.

enter image description here

Then I check the output window and configure the output for Diagnostics Hub there it throws me

No such interface supported

  • Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Update 1 14.0.24720.00

What could be the cause of the error? How can I solve it?

    Apparently it is a problem related to some Windows update, the update process ignores or wrongly modifies some files that interfere with the operation of the Diagnostic Tools window.

    The solution that exists -although it is assumed that in some later version of Visual Studio this would be solved- is to delete these files following these instructions.

    1. Close Visual Studio.
    2. Open the console with administrator permissions ( cmd )
    3. Type the following commands:
    cd %systemroot%\system32     

takeown /f DiagnosticsHub.*    

icacls DiagnosticsHub.* /grant %username%:F

del /q DiagnosticsHub.*

    Now the recommended thing would be to restart VS.
