Answer 1

Powershell solution (works on Windows 10 Home, where you don't have lusrmgr.msc console). Run PS console as administrator then:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Performance Monitor Users" -Member "{UserName}"
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>iisreset

Where the {UserName} is your application pool identity user or Network Service.

Mind that group name may be different (it may be in your local language for non-english Windows version). Then call:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>Get-LocalGroup

This will list all groups and you will find correct name there.

Answer 2

A Sitecore application pool user (most probably Network Service user) has to be a member of the system “Performance Monitor Users” group to have access to the mentioned registry key. Adding the user to this group and restarting IIS should solve the problem.

Answer 3

As explained in approved answer you need to add app pool user to performance monitor users and performance log users group. To add your app pool user add iis apppool\{site name}. You need to restart your machine again or alternatively restart your iis and log off and log in to make sure your changes got picked up by user group membership
