Windows 10: Performance Counters

I installed the 10900X on the X299, and now these Performance Counter things need drivers, I`ve always had the latest Chipset drivers, doesn`t help.

I`ve been Googling it but finding nothing that will help.

And this Logitech item, Both the Logitech G910 Orion Spark keyboard and the G500s mouse show up with drivers and software like they always have, and are fine in Device Manager, but I have no idea what this hardware is.

Any input would be appreciated.

Unselectable and Disappearing Counters in Performance Monitor / Perfmon.exe

Computer: Dell Latitude 7480

Program: Perfmon.exe (32 bit and 64 bit)

OS: Windows 7, Widows 10

I am trying to add counters for USB in Performance Monitor. I want to do something similar to this:

• How to Troubleshoot USB Problems : How to Identify USB Problems Using Performance Monitor, How to Examine USB Hubs - Windows Vista - allcomputers.us
• https://sourcedaddy.com/windows-7/how-to-identify-usb-problems-using-performance-monitor.html

In the screen-shot, I use % total bandwidth used for Interrupt as an example, but this applies to any counter with a grayed out/ unselectable
<All instances> instance.

When add >> is selected it seems to add the counter, but once you select
OK, the counter disappears. It does not show up in Perfmon and does not show up in
Properties -> Data. It's almost as if I never added it.

I have quite a few internal and external USB hubs, and USB devices on this computer, so I'm not sure why there are no instances to select. Maybe that is a clue? Is there something I have to enable first?

There isn't good documentation describing what the grayed out <All instances> means, can anyone please explain? Even if it is alone in the list,
<All instances> is sometimes gray and sometimes not. For me,
Thread counters only have <All instances> but it is not grayed out, while the
USB counters have <All instances> but are grayed out. Also not sure what is different between a blank
Instances of selected object: list and a grayed out out Instances of selected object:
list is.

Additionally, can anyone help me monitor/ enable the USB counters?

Thank you in advance!

How to intentionally corrupt performance counter for testing purpose

Hi,

I want to intentionally corrupt performance counters(Perfdisk,PerfNet & PerfOS) to verify whether it is rebuild properly or not by our application since it depends on these performance counters. Currently I corrupt it by running 'lodctr /r' command and while
it is executing I power down the system and boot it and verify. I see it is getting corrupted.

I tried another method by deleting the 'Library' parameter in "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Perdisk\Performance". I'm not sure whether windows understands this state as corrupted or not.

And is there any other method to corrupt Performance Counters?

Thanks!!
