Getting ArgumentOutOfRangeException with msg "Load factor needs to be between 0.1 and 1.0" while enumerating instances of PerformanceCounterCategory

Question

I am trying to enumerate all instance names for a PerformanceCounterCategory by using PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames() method and getting below exception:

Load factor needs to be between 0.1 and 1.0.
Parameter name: loadFactor
EXCEPTION: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
   at System.Collections.Hashtable..ctor(Int32 capacity, Single loadFactor)
   at System.Diagnostics.CategorySample..ctor(Byte[] data, CategoryEntry entry, PerformanceCounterLib library)
   at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.GetCategorySample(String category)
   at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.GetCategorySample(String machine, String category)
   at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterCategory.GetCounterInstances(String categoryName, String machineName)
   at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames()
   at Abc.Xyz.Utilities.PerfCounter.InitCounter()

I already checked for Performance counter category and it exists.

Any suggestions?
