Hi cgav,
Thank you very much for your contact.
The issue is most likely connected to issues with the WMI connection from the PRTG Probe to the target device. You can either check whether a restart of the target device change the situation or, to check if the WMI connection work anyways, deploy a Windows System Uptime sensor to it.
Do you receive any values on this sensor?
Best regards,
Sebastian
