Can't get sampling to work on Windows

Does it work with other ETW based sampling profilers like UIforETW or visuals studios CPU profiler? I've had issues before after installing vtune broke access to the cpu sampling functionality

It works fine with visual studio's CPU profiler, and also with Superluminal which is also sampling-based.
