How to profile CPU (**not** GPU)?

I have searched for videos, but all I find is about profiling GPU. Is there a video about profiling CPU?

Use the trace tool to record a trace session, then load up the saved trace into unreal insights and set the filter to CPU.
Trace tools are in the bottom right.

Here is a tutorial if you are on an older version of the engine where you had to record sessions via console commands

Hello @3dRaven! Finally I have found the time and have been able to launch that profiler! But it did not show me where are the brakes. It shows something like ComputeGrassHash, WaitForTask etc. and does not point to the certain slow function despite the performance is horrifying on the modern and fast computer. What am I doing wrong? I switch off the GPU, select a frame and click on the wide bars in the biggest window. Could you please answer?
