You could install the latest version of the plugin here through UE5 Marketplace: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/optick-super-lightweight-performance-profiler

  1. Launch UnrealEditor.exe

⚠️ Optick uses ETW to collect kernel-level events (Sampling, Switch-contexts, CPU cores) which require Admin Privileges to run. If you need kernel events - you'll need to run UnrealEngine.exe(or VisualStudio) as administrator.

  1. Enable OptickPlugin: Edit => Plugins => Performance => Optick
  2. Open Optick GUI: Tools => Open Optick Profiler
  3. Press "Start/Stop Profiling Session" button to start and stop the profiling session
