I am trying to run the following command typeperf -sc 1 "processor(_Total)\% Processor Time"

To retreive the cpu load in percentage

The command work well when i run it though my username since I am the adminstrator.

I created an other user called test

logged in with test and tried to run the command with the test user and getting 

Exiting, please wait...                         
Error: No valid counters.

I correctly added the test user in the Performance Log Users group as the typeperf.exe application is supposed to only let those user use it

Please also note that this question is in some way related to Not enough permission to run typeperf.exe question I asked a few days ago.

I am wondering what can I do more to let an other user use typeperf.exe

I am using Windows 8 Pro in case this information is relevant

Thanks in advance for any help.

-Edit----------------

As asked in comment

When I run the folowing command typeperf -q Processor on the test user i get the following response

\Processor(*)\% Processor Time
\Processor(*)\% User Time
\Processor(*)\% Privileged Time
\Processor(*)\Interrupts/sec
\Processor(*)\% DPC Time
\Processor(*)\% Interrupt Time
\Processor(*)\DPCs Queued/sec
\Processor(*)\DPC Rate
\Processor(*)\% Idle Time
\Processor(*)\% C1 Time
\Processor(*)\% C2 Time
\Processor(*)\% C3 Time
\Processor(*)\C1 Transitions/sec
\Processor(*)\C2 Transitions/sec
\Processor(*)\C3 Transitions/sec
Exiting, please wait...                         
The command completed successfully.

You just got to escape % symbol, e.g.: typeperf "\Process(Idle)\%% Processor Time"
