### Remarks

When the build is started, an open Profiler Window will automatically connect to the Player and start profiling. When the Player is build with the [BuildOptions.AutoRunPlayer](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/buildoptions/autorunplayer.md) option enabled, the Editor will also automatically open the Profiler Window. You can also set this property in the Unity Editor using the [Autoconnect Profiler](/engine/6000.6/manual/building-and-publishing/build-settings/build-profiles-reference.md#shared-build-settings) setting on the **Build Profiles** window.
