I'm trying to use profiler from Visual Studio 2015 Community for CPU usage, and all I get is just my exe and [External code], nothing else:
There is a generated pdb file, and I tried to clean and rebuild my project, disabled just my code; could someone help me ? Thanks.

Open the Performance Profiler by choosing Debug > Performance Profiler (or Alt + F2). For more information on using the CPU Usage or Memory usage tool in the Performance Profiler vs. the debugger-integrated tools, see Run profiling tools with or without the debugger.
When you start debugging in Visual Studio by selecting Debug > Start Debugging, or pressing F5, the Diagnostic Tools window appears by default. To open it manually, select Debug > Windows > Show Diagnostic Tools. The Diagnostic Tools window shows information about events, process memory, and CPU usage.
Profiling and diagnostics tools help you diagnose memory and CPU usage and other application-level issues. With these tools, you can accumulate performance data while you run your application.
A profiler is a tool that monitors the execution of another application. A common language runtime (CLR) profiler is a dynamic link library (DLL) that consists of functions that receive messages from, and send messages to, the CLR by using the profiling API. The profiler DLL is loaded by the CLR at run time.
Try this: Debug -> Start Diagnostic Tools Without Debugger and from there select Performance Wizard rather than CPU Usage, and only from there select CPU or other option you need, this solved the problem in my case.
