I was reading this blog post https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server/using-xevents-to-capture-an-actual-execution-plan/ba-p/392136

and based on same created extended event

CREATE EVENT SESSION [PerfStats_Node] ON SERVER

ADD EVENT sqlserver.query_thread_profile(

ACTION(sqlos.scheduler_id,sqlserver.database_id,sqlserver.is_system,sqlserver.plan_handle,sqlserver.query_hash_signed,sqlserver.query_plan_hash_signed,sqlserver.server_instance_name,sqlserver.session_id,sqlserver.session_nt_username,sqlserver.sql_text))

ADD TARGET package0.event_file(SET filename=N'C:\Temp\PerfStats_Node.xel',max_file_size=(50),max_rollover_files=(2))

WITH (MAX_MEMORY=4096 KB,EVENT_RETENTION_MODE=ALLOW_SINGLE_EVENT_LOSS,MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY=30 SECONDS,MAX_EVENT_SIZE=0 KB,MEMORY_PARTITION_MODE=NONE,TRACK_CAUSALITY=OFF,STARTUP_STATE=OFF)
GO

However when reviewing the target file i see the plan captured seems estimated even though some actual number shows up in target events but when i pass plan handle in sys.dm_exec_query_plan, the plan which comes up seems to have all estimates

Blog clearly says it will open actual plan, then why i am not able to see one?

I tried using SSMS 17.9 as well but still no luck.
