All actions must be performed in the command line (console). To do this, click «Start» and search for «cmd», then MUST run the command line in Administrator mode — to do this, right-click on «command line» and select «run as administrator».
Now you need to enter commands in order and after each command press Enter. If at any stage you get an error, you most likely started the command line NOT as an administrator. In this case, close the console and do it all over again.
The following will be the commands and the example image in sequence.
Reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance /s
Reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance /v «Disable Performance Counters» /t REG_DWORD /d 0
cd c:\windows\system32
lodctr /R
cd c:\windows\sysWOW64
lodctr /R
c:\windows\system32\wbem\winmgmt.exe /resyncperf

net stop pla
net start pla
net stop winmgmt
net start winmgmt
After net start pla and net start winmgmt commands, a successful start notification should appear.
