[QUOTE="cofer123, post: 1009762, member: 92976"] It's what Windows uses to monitor hardware usage, like CPU, GPU, I/O (disk, memory, interprocess communication, networking, etc), among many other counters that Windows relies on to monitor system behavior. Quite a few of these monitors became corrupted and unable to function after some regular module update by ESET. The most noticeable issue was with the one that monitors GPU usage. Lots of people were affected and noticed that GPU usage vanished from Task Manager and some applications that relied on GPU acceleration failed to launch since these were unable to detect a GPU installed on the system. Took a while and some convincing, but ESET issued a fix that stopped breaking the performance monitors around ~5 days after the first reports. Took them about 2 weeks to issue an update that reversed the damage, but users managed to come with a workaround that would restore the performance monitors in the meantime, although that required user intervention.
