Ran Windows Server 2016 Standard version 1607 in a IPv6 enviroment. Network adapter was configured with IPv6 and IPv4 was unticked.

'netsh interface ipv4 uninstall' was executed from a command prompt and the server restarted.

Upon restart, Performance Monitor was opened and the following error message was produced; 'Unable to add these counters: \Network Interface(*)\Bytes Total/sec'

Attempted to Add a Network Interface counter to Performance Monitor via the 'Add Counters' window, discovered Network Interface counters not listed.

'netsh interface ipv4 install' was executed from a command prompt and the server restarted. Upon restart, Performance Monitor was opened, no error messages were produced.

Attempted to Add a Network Interface counter to Performance Monitor via the 'Add Counters' window, discovered Network Adapter and Network Interface listed.

Any ideas?
