Hello,
If the WMI sensors are only using WMI it works, but if WMI fails the sensors are switching using Performance Counters you receive this error message because performance counter are not available.
Can you please try choosing "WMI Only" in the "WMI Compatibility Options" for the parent group(s) of the devices on which you experience these issues?
