When using the visual studio 2019 memory usage profiling tool the snapshots don't say what the objects in the managed heap are.

It simply has a lists of objects as follows

Object Type Count Size (Bytes) Inclusive Size (Bytes) Module
+ UNKNOWN 0x7ffd73f09068 80,110 3,204,400 38,414,376
+ UNKNOWN 0x7ffdc6f706e8 57,126 5,719,520 5,719,520
+ UNKNOWN 0x7ffd73cf3d80 49,230 3,718,896 4,110,400

How can i get visual studio to show the actual class names of the objects currently in memory?

For reference i'm developing a .net core 2.2 application.

What I found out so far: The problem with the "UNKNOWN" objects only appears if you run the memory profiler via "Analyze > Performance Profiler...", start the memory profiling, take several snapshots. However, if you start a debug session, open the window "Diagnostic Tools", take several snapshots, you will see proper names of allocated objects.
