Recently started getting this pop-up warning “Windows-No Disk Exception Processing Message 0x0000013-Unexpected Parameters”. Didn’t pay much attention at first, but the message kept popping up. Then I started to notice this was happening about the same time each evening anywhere from 8:09 to 8:55PM. First place I looked was the Task Scheduler, thinking because this was always happening around the same time, it must be a Scheduled task generating the issue. Went through each and every task looking for a matching time frame, but found nothing.
Next place I went was the Event Viewer and there it was. Time stamp matched exactly.
Event Log: Error, Source=Perflib, Event ID=1015, Task Category=none
C\Windows|System32\Perfdisk.dll
Armed with this, I went out to the internet looking for clues as to what was causing this error. Found several similar examples but only one exact match to the data I have. Person writing this submission indicated this error was caused by Performance Measurements and has no effect on the operations of Windows. He went on to say that he disabled the associated services and cleared up his issue. Apparently, the list of “services” needed to be disabled is extensive as he wrote a script to disable all these services, and posted a link to the list and script. However, I was unable to access the link to this list or script.
Now I fall into the category of “knows just enough to be dangerous”. I understand that disabling to wrong services can cause all sorts of problems including not being able to start Windows. So I feel I can not go any further without expert assistance. If there is someone who is familiar with this issue and is able to guide me through the process of disabling the appropriate services, I would truly appreciate it. Or, if my assumptions are wrong, get me pointed in the right direction.
My system is a Win8.1 Dell XPS 8500, i7-3770, 16meg memory, 2TB 870 EVO SSD, 3 external USB HDDs for File History, photo archive, and video archive.
