From my understanding of my colleagues, this issue does not exist when using the linux version in a virtual machine.
This was acceptable at the time we did run into this issue but isn't anymore.
Because of company policies I don't rule out that this is related to limitations set on my pc but because smaller (a few MB) PPK files do open without any issue I still want to know if this is an known\reported issue.

Hi

This is a known issue first discovered a couple of months back in this ticket, and unfortunately we haven't been able to find a fix for Windows machines as of yet, so if you need to view these larger .ppk files you will need a Linux or MacOS machine for the time being. We recommend limiting the memory to < 1000MB when doing power profiling on Windows machines. You can see the estimated RAM required under the sampling parameters in the Power Profiler app when setting up a measurement scenario:

As stated in the ticket I linked to, the fix should be documented in the changelog when we have a version fixing this ready.

Best regards,

Simon
