Windows – performance counters – unable to add these counters

Issue

One of my Windows 2012 server stopped reporting network performance counter.Soudainement. Even perfmon itself complains upon starting:

Solution

Starting lodctr /R doesn’t help. Counter is here but disabled. Checked starting lodctr.exe /Q:

[Tcpip] Performance Counters (Disabled)
 DLL Name: %SystemRoot%System32Perfctrs.dll
 Open Procedure: OpenTcpIpPerformanceData
 Collect Procedure: CollectTcpIpPerformanceData
 Close Procedure: CloseTcpIpPerformanceData

So we have to enable it again:

lodctr.exe /E:Tcpip

The story doesn’t say why it happened in first place…
