Event ID 1015 - PerfOs

[Javier Perez]

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Perflib
Hi.

I am finding this error quite frequently on my event Application Log.
What causes it?

I have seen a solution, disabling the counters with exctrl or something like
that but I do not like it. It sounds like removing the lightbulb of the
Check Brakes indicator of my car instead of having the brakes checked at a
service shop.

I will appreciate any help. thanks

The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "PerfOS" in
the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.dll" Library to finish has expired. There may
be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting
data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was
attempted.
