title: Performance Counters - ASP.NET v4.0.30319 - Blank /Missing counter objects for system-level ASP.NET, but not application-level ASP.NET
body: <p>Any of the counters under the ASP.NET v4.0.30319 or ASP.NET section do not have any objects to select when highlighted,</p>
  <p>but any of the counters under the ASP.NET Apps v4.0.30319 section DO have objects to select (recognize my running IIS applications)</p>
  <p><strong>Things i have verified:</strong></p>
  <ul>
  <li>There's no Disable Performance Counter entry in the registry for ASP.NET v4.0.30319 or ASP.NET</li>
  <li>There's no Disable Performance Counter entry in the registry within any keys under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\</li>
  <li>i see that within the <strong>Names</strong> key for ASP.NET v4.0.30319, that there are two entries that correctly contain the PID of the currently running w3wp processes. To note there is NOT a Names key under ASP.NET, only Linkage and Performance</li>
  <li>i've ran the 32bit version of perfmon.exe as administrator found in this directory but it had the same result C:\Windows\SysWOW64\</li>
  <li>running powershell as admin and querying the related classes shows only 0 values (Both PerfRawData and PerfFormattedData)</li>
  </ul>
