DIsk Performance Counters not available remotely

The Physical Disk performance counters of a Windows Server 2016 are present and available locally, but not remotely. I've tried many suggestions out there such as checking registry, lodctr /r and restart relevant services but nothing helps. What could be the cause?

On the client machine in Performance Monitor, the section for Physical Disk does not show for the remote machine, while they do so locally on the target machine itself.

Equally Powershell > Get-Counter -ListSet physicaldisk -ComputerName mycomputer succeeds locally but fails remotely with

Get-Counter : Cannot find any performance counter sets on the mycomputer computer that match the following: physicaldisk.
At line:1 char:2
+  Get-Counter -ListSet physicaldisk -ComputerName mycomputer
+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (:) [Get-Counter], Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchingCounterSetsFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounterCommand

I'm at a loss. Please don't suggest rebooting the machine, I want to solve this without rebooting.

In a similar case, I had to re-register the system performance libraries with WMI (winmgmt /resyncperf) and reboot the machine. Restarting services was not enough.

Here is what helped me to see my physicaldisk perfctrs again:

diskperf -y          # Enable diskperf at boot
lodctr /R            # Restore perfctr registry settings
timeout 10           # Wait 10s
winmgmt /resyncperf  # Reset WMI perfctrs
shutdown /r /f /t 0  # Reboot

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
