Unfortunately, PAL wasn't any help for my case. I have separate Data Collector Sets for Processor ((_Total)\% Processor Time and Queue Length) and Processes (\Process(processname*)\% Processor Time and Working Set - Private). In my case there are client ups that have separate processes for every users in the system and they load the CPU up to the ceiling, so I need to get some sort of evidence to ask the distributor company for an advice. I have Perfmon sets for a few months, some of them with default 15 seconds interval. PAL process those logs no matter what settings I choose (I tried different settings for Questions, Queue and Execute tabs), but at the end it throws me in PS shell the same silly exception like "can't divide by null" or something. That goes for both Processor and Processes sets, and for different logging dates. And the result htm file shows no errors. I can't open that Min | Avg | Max table because, apparently, I have no errors to worry about. That's insane. Also I tried to run PAL on target system (where the logs acquired), but no luck either. I guess I should look for another software. For some reason, Non of the source I addressed so far (educational courses for system administration etc) provides an example of How Exactly can I understand what's going on in the Perfmon logs themselves. I mean that every source can teach you how to aquire data, but non of them teaches you how to process it without using a third-party software. That would be hilarious if not the situation I'm in. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to process those perfmon charts that MS guys provide. As for your video, the info at 20:25 is unclear. For what system do I choose those settings? Is this supposed to be any system where a log file processes, or the target system where a log acqured? I assumed it would be the former, but it doesn't help anyway. I'm going to update my post if I'm to learn more.

Counter for (Processor Performance > PPM Processor Frequency) or (Processor Information > Processor Frequency) Stuck at 2,900 on Windows11 Ryzen 4000H mobile cpu. Was wondering if there was a way to read real time Processor core Frequency/Clock in GHZ/MHZ but the value stays the same at 2,900. also similar case in registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0) ~MHz = 2895. Is there anyway to update counters or am i doing something wrong?

[@TechsavvyProductions]

great question, I am doing some digging
