Process performance counter is disabled

Max
I'm trying to get the process id of some application and I get an error for this line:

Process [] myApplications= Process.GetProc essesByName("My Application");

The error says:

System.InvalidO perationExcepti on: Process performance counter is disabled, so the requested operation cannot be performed.
at System.Diagnost ics.NtProcessMa nager.GetProces sInfos(Performa nceCounterLib library)
at System.Diagnost ics.NtProcessMa nager.GetProces sInfos(String machineName, Boolean isRemoteMachine )
at System.Diagnost ics.ProcessMana ger.GetProcessI nfos(String machineName)
at System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get ProcessesByName (String processName, String machineName)
at System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get ProcessesByName (String processName)

How can I enable the performance counters? Is this required on all computers on which my application will run?

Cheers,
Max

Hi guys I have a time critical process, running on a worker thread. By "time critical", I mean that certain parts of the process must be completed in a specific time frame.

The operations I am performing do not take a long time (hundreds of milliseconds), but as each part of the process is complete, my worker thread...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
