Resource monitor not working fixed

A few weeks ago I had this problem on my Win 7 machine,
Resource monitor had stopped displaying anything.
( CTL-ALT-DEL, Task manager, performance, Resource Monitor)
If I started monitoring under the monitor button
it would only show data in overview, Cpu and memory.
Disk and memory were blank.
Performance Monitor also gave errors about performance counters.
CMD (run as administrator) lodctr /r
fixed the Performance Monitor but not the Resource Monitor
problems.
I then saw asolution on the internet that said to rename
C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup. This is hard to do
as the files are currently in use by Windows.
I searched the in C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup
for the files that had been changed around the time that
the problem occurred.I found that EtwRTDiagLog.etl and
EtwRTEventLog-System.etl were changed and renamed them with no problem,
Restarted my computer and both perfmon and resmon now work
correctly.
I do not know if lodctr /r was necessary or if only one of
the files needs to be renamed.
Both renamed files can be deleted after the reboot.


I hope this helps someone as it took me about 6 hours to figure out
