preflib 1008

ciao Riccardo Ruzzon

Si tratta di un avviso, non di un errore, ti conviene ignorarlo.

Hai altri problemi con il sistema?

Hello, I’m Henry. I’m happy to share my insights on this issue. I’m working to translate and fully understand the situation.

First and most importantly, this is a Warning level event, not a critical Error. In most cases, this specific event (Event ID 1008 for WmiApRpl) is benign and can be safely ignored if your computer is operating normally. It does not indicate a system failure or impending crash.

I’ve researched the topic and provided some explanations for you.

1. Perflib stands for Performance Library. It's a core component of Windows responsible for collecting performance counter data. Applications like Task Manager (Performance tab), Performance Monitor, and Resource Monitor use this data to show you how your CPU, memory, disks, and other services are performing.

2. What does Event ID 1008 mean? This event is logged whenever the Perflib system tries to query a specific service for its performance data, but the service fails to respond correctly or in a timely manner. Essentially, Windows is saying, "I asked service 'X' how it was doing, but it didn't answer, so I can't get any performance stats from it right now."

3. What is the specific service "WmiApRpl"?

Service: WmiApRpl is the "WMI Performance Reverse Adapter" service.

DLL: wmiaprpl.dll is the library file containing the code for this service.

Purpose: This service is part of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) framework, which is a fundamental part of Windows used for managing system settings, devices, and applications. The WmiApRpl service helps in providing performance data from WMI to other parts of the system.

4. When Perflib attempted to retrieve data from the WmiApRpl service, it encountered an error indicating that "The device is not ready." This corresponds to error code 21 ("Device not ready").

Recommended Actions

Since this is a low-priority warning, you only need to take action if it happens very frequently (e.g., every few minutes) or if you are experiencing other system performance issues.

• Step 1: You just monitor and observe
• Step 2: Check System Health (SFC and DISM)
  • Click the Start button, type cmd.
  • Right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator".
  • Run the System File Checker: sfc /scannow
  • After it's done, run the DISM tool to repair the Windows component store: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  • Restart your computer.
• Step 3: Rebuild the Performance Counters (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/lodctr)
  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator again.
  • Type the following command and press Enter: lodctr /r
  • You should see a message saying "Successfully rebuilt the performance counter setting from the system backup store."
  • Restart your computer.

I hope my explanation provides you with more insight into the issue.
