I was looking around the forum and read this thread: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/bs...ons-windows-10-8-1-8-7-and-windows-vista.html
And I decided that I would create a quick little utility that would automatically run Perfmon and retrieve the report.html file from the resulting output. I don't know why, but a bunch of users on Windows 8.1 seem to be having issues with running PerfMon to get a report (Perfmon /Report in Windows 8.1 produces weird results - Microsoft Community), yet the odd thing is that the report is still saved. I found that it takes about 30-60 seconds to actually see the report, and this might be why an error dialog shows up initially because it tries to fetch the report too soon. That's only speculation though, and I haven't looked deep enough into that issue, however, I've created a simple utility in C++ to make the task fully automated. :)
It requires admin elevation, so if you double click on the executable it will automatically request admin privilleges (if UAC is enabled, the dialog pops up). It'll automatically invoke PerfMon to run a report, and terminate the program, then wait until the report is finished being created, before it grabs the report.html file and makes a copy of it within the %USERPROFILE%\Documents folder.
I've attached the first release of my tool in an attachment below. It was a quick tool that I wrote, but it seems to be fairly effective.
Latest Release: Download v1.0.2
