Reliability monitor is blank for weeks

My reliability monitor is not showing any results whatsoever.

 

While all the similar services such as event viewer and error reporting etc are active and automatically running. Reliability monitor is not showing any errors. I know that even if you don't have a critical issue it should at least show some things like failed services or install/uninstall reports.

The system has no big issues and easy solutions like doing a sfc scan is not going to help my issue. All I remember is just using 'clean this log' command from event viewer once but I didn't make a significant change. I love this tool to troubleshoot problems every once in a while. So if you have any idea, feel free to share so I will try to enable it again properly.

    Because you mentioned you used the 'clear this log' command in Event Viewer, that's just what wiped it. Reliability monitor takes its data from those logs.

    It should rebuild on its own though. However, it might have gotten stuck after the manual clear. You could jumpstart it by:

    - Opening up Task Scheduler.

    - Go to Microsoft > Windows > RAC.

    - Right click RacTask and hit Run.

    - Give it a few hours or so to collect new data. If it’s still completely empty tomorrow, then you might have to go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\RAC and delete the files inside the StateData and PublishedData directories to force another reset.

    Hope this helps getting it working.

      Hello, thanks for reading the issue. I read a similar recommendation from the guys at tenforums but when I checked I neither have RAC on my task scheduler nor in its folder in programdata.

        Thanks for the screenshots, it's blank because RAC is completely nuked from your system. Perhaps some privacy tool or an aggressive system cleaner was run at some point?

        An SFC scan won't help because the task itself is missing.

        If you can gain access to another Windows machine, you can open Task Schedule on it and right click RacTask > "Export" it as an XML file. Then on your main computer, create the RAC directory in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft (with StateData and PublishedData folders in it), and then import the XML into Task Scheduler.

        LMK if that worked~
