Some missing data & Rainmeter freeze when trying to interact with the missing options

[Davoleo]

on the left we can see that all: cpu meter, top RAM meter, top GPU meter have missing info,
Furthermore the drives meter incorrectly reports 100% usage on all drives.

On the right I've tried editing settings for one of the gadgets that worked fine (Network gadgets, no problem occurred)
On the left I've tried disabling "Show Used/Free/Total RAM" to see if it was a refresh issue and if data would come back but after that all rainmeter windows froze completely including all gadgets, rainmeter settings, rainmeter about dialog.

Unfortunately after it froze I can see from the windows bar on the right of the window that there is another message on top of the others but I couldn't scroll anymore since the window is frozen (idk if this log is also printed on file somewhere)
Rainmeter log window:

Another thing worth of note is that it seems there's a memory leak somewhere as well, maybe related to this issue, one time when I decided to ignore the missing values leaving rainmeter open made it reach more than 4GB of used RAM.
this time since it was open from a relatively short time before I froze it's using about 2.5GB

I think this is also chance based, yesterday when starting up the OS there was no issue with the gadgets and I was about to close the issue, but today the same problem occurred again.

I'm having the exact same issue here, RAM usage is no longer shown on the CPU gadget, the settings window freezes along with Rainmeter as a whole when opened, and a memory leaks sometimes builds up.

Which Windows build are you using? Since I haven't updated either Rainmeter nor the Gadgets in months, I'm guessing the latest W11 update broke something critical. Mine is 26200.8246.

Hello all,
Very sorry for the late reply, and sorry to see you are having issues. There has not been any significant changes to the Gadgets except for a minor change to the GPU Meter and how it works with HWiNFO on some GPUs. The CPU Meter changes are basically tweaks to how clock speed is monitored and removal of SpeedFan measures. I've been running v7.10 for nearly 6 months, often for weeks at a time, with no issues.

But looking at your screenshots (thanks for those, and the shots of the log!!) I can tell one thing FOR SURE. Your performance counters database is corrupted. I've never seen RAM usage not show, but everything else you are reporting seems to indicate this. Especially notice your Top Process skins are showing nothing and Disks Meter is pegged at 100%... these are a definite indicator. Windows Updates can definitely cause this, it happens to me sometimes as well.

Please try this: How to fix your Performance Counters database.

Let me know how it goes! (P.S.: You will definitely need to reboot after applying the fix.)

Thank you so much! The command lines and a reboot instantly fixed the issue for me, it was indeed caused by a Windows update. Many thanks, both for the help and the Gadgets themselves, a staple on all my rigs.
