Environment:
UIM 7.5 or higher on Windows 7, 8, 2012
Cause:
Sometimes  during cdm probe on windows environment appears max restart error

The log entries indicate a problem with the perfmon counters which are used by the cdm probe. 
 
Resolution:
To resolve, follow the instructions in this Microsoft post to rebuild your performance counters.

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\lodctr /R

Additional Information:
When you use the System Monitor tool, some counters may be missing or do not contain counter data. The base set of performance counter libraries may become corrupted and may need to be rebuilt. Additionally, you may need to rebuild any custom (.NET Framework application created) counters or any extensible counters.
