How to stop Performance Monitor Errors in the Event Log


Without going into a huge discussion of the inner workings or limitations of Performance Monitor, this is actually expected. The errors are created when a windows components loads improperly or has erroneous information in the registry in its hook to Performance Monitor.


The errors can be quelled by either removing the Open value from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\:\Performance (your service may vary)

-or-

by changing the more global setting ExtCounterTestLevel down to something like 3 in the registry. (see Q226494, it also has a good explanation of the errors.)

If setting the test level for the performance counters still produces errors, setting the EventLogLevel registry value to 0 will stop all errors from being reported. This is not entirely recommended, but setting it to 1 or higher should reduce the amount of errors in most cases.


Anyhow, for more information, i will refer your attention to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
