About this tag
PDH (Performance Data Helper) is a Windows API used by tools like Performance Monitor and Get-Counter to collect performance counter data. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover issues where PDH functions cause high CPU usage or slow data collection, particularly on Windows Server 2022 where IIS Web Service and Web Service Cache counter sets disappear until IIS is reinstalled.

These topics are relevant for IT administrators and developers who rely on PDH for monitoring system and application performance.
