Ontimer: pdhcollectquerydata failed with: 0x800007d5 on ssd drive

I've been using diskled for years, but for the last few weeks it's been giving me this error at unpredictable times. I've set the update to a lower interval but that doesn't help. It only occurs on my ssd drive. Re-applying the settings in the config fixes the problem.

\PhysicalDisk(0 C:)\% Disk Time

This seems to have started after the latest windows 10 updates, and usually shows authentication issues with a performance counter in the event viewer. For me this seems to be an issue with the C drive only, although that also happens to be the only SSD in my systems.

C: is the system drive and only SSD here as well, and the error only occurs on this drive.

It would seem the problem has been solved with the latest updates from MS.

I am still having this issue, it never went away for me :(

It came back here as well. I have done a clean windows install and the problem remains.

I have been able to work around this error on a number of Windows 10 machines by simply changing my configuration from "PhysicalDisk" to "LogicalDisk", i.e.:
Object: LogicalDisk
Counter: % Disk Time
Instance: _Total

All of my computers are single disk computers (or they operate as single disk, e.g. RAID). I don't know how this would work with multiple disks.

My DiskLED.ini file contains:

[Performance Counter 1]
LEDType=Flicker
UpdateInterval=30
100% Utilization=100.000000
Path=\LogicalDisk(_Total)\% Disk Time
