Part 2 – Reliability Monitor Not Working In Windows 8/7

If you’re still using previous Windows version such as Windows 8 or 7, you can reset Reliability Monitor using these steps:

1. Make sure you’ve hidden items enabled in File/Windows Explorer.

2. Open File/Windows Explorer, go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\RAC.

3. Under RAC folder, you’ll find PublishedData and StateData folders. If you like, backup all content under these folders, because we will erase it now.

4. Open PublishedData folder and delete all files inside it. Provide the UAC permissions, if asked for.

5. Similar to step 4, also delete all content inside StateData folder.

6. Now the Reliability Monitor should be reset. Give some time to Reliability Monitor to collect your system data. So check it back in one or two days and you’ll find that issue is resolved now.

If you still face the issue, try these steps then:

We recommend you to create a System Restore point first, before editing registry.

1. Open Registry Editor.

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Reliability Analysis\WMI.

3. In the right pane of WMI registry key, set the WMIEnable registry DWORD‘s Value data to 1.

4. Close Registry Editor and reboot.

After restarting the system, the issue will no longer be present.
