[QUOTE="cofer123, post: 986908, member: 92976"] Just a heads up to other ESET users, from a thread found here: [URL='https://forum.eset.com/topic/32254-eset-and-task-manager-conflict-or-bug/']Eset and Task manager conflict or bug?[/URL] A recent ESET update is messing up with the performance monitors on Windows. The symptoms include GPU monitoring missing from Task Manager and other performance counters corrupted/missing in Performance Monitor. Upon starting Performance Monitor, the following error shows up: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1651587031114.png"]266368[/ATTACH] As I described on the ESET forums, I was able to replicate the issue on an already compromised system: [LIST] [*]Performance counters missing/corrupted; [*]Restore them with lodctr /R on %windir%\SysWOW64 (running the command on the System32 folder was unsuccessful with an error code 2); [*]Performance counters working again, no errors on Performance Monitor and GPU usage showing in Task Manager; [*]Completely uninstall EIS; [*]Performance counters still working; [*]Install EIS again; [*]Performance counters still working; [*]Wait for EIS to fully update; [*]Performance counters missing/corrupted with the same issues described above; [*]Able to restore them again with lodctr /R [/LIST] I had 5 systems affected by this issue, which apparently began around the past week. Not sure what causes the issue and if something else might be affected by it.
