COMException (segmentation fault) when running HardwareCounters

首先运行提供的 net8.0 演示，并在启用 HardwareCounters 的情况下检查 Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.Session.TraceEventSession.EnableKernelProvider、BenchmarkDotNet.Diagnostics.Windows.KernelSession.EnableProviders 和 EtwProfiler.Start 处的失败。重现 Windows 11 COMException，并确定成功执行硬件计数器应满足的条件；完成的标准是 benchmark 运行时不会出现资源占用异常或 Segmentation fault。

Hello,

I am trying hardware counters for the first time after finding this article. I have unfortunately been unable to use these counters as I run into an exception when using them. I have stripped everything back to a tiny demo and still receive the error.

I'm on Windows 11 Pro.

My dotnet --version is 8.0.412.

Here is my program.

using BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Diagnosers;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Running;

var summary = BenchmarkRunner.Run<DemoClass>();
Console.WriteLine(summary);

[MemoryDiagnoser]
[HardwareCounters(HardwareCounter.BranchMispredictions, HardwareCounter.BranchInstructions)]
public class DemoClass
{
    [Benchmark]
    public int Demo() => 1 + 2;
}

And here is my csproj.
