Perfmon counters show up as numbers?

Posted by Bharat Suneja at 12:22 AM
You're troubleshooting an important issue and fire up Performance Monitor, only to be greeted by this bizarre visual— all your Perfmon counters show up as numbers! You restart Perfmon a few times, try to choose a different performance object - but it's still numbers.


Figure 1: Performance Monitor counters and objects are displayed as numbers instead of object and counter names

Fix:

Lodctr.exe /r

It can take a little while (about 10 minutes in this case).

Rock and Roll... That is exactly the problem. Does anyone know what this command actually does.

Fantastic that solved it for me too. It also made the counters 'findable' by the RedGate performance and memory profilers.

yay ... running away over the horizon clapping feet together
