My Rainmeter is working properly except that some loaded skin meters doesn't monitor, or doesn't display any readout!
In fact now i'm facing this issue with Top Processes but if I load temperature and / or GPU meter, its the same thing.
Someone (I can't find it anymore) mentioned on the web that it is because Windows Home does'nt allow to monitor performance data without adding manualy the user group (that i'm logged in) to the windows perf log monitoring groups. I can't even try this fix because it says I input the wrong password when it ask for credentials at the end of the wizard that is supposed to add a group. (I know my password eh!) And I guess I would have found more issues reported on the net… Anyway I did a clean install yesterday for another reason, and I can tell you, this won't help, I have the same issues.
For me, the Top Processes skin does work well, see the attachment.

So, I think the problem is not in the skin, at least original skin code of Spiritreader. The error in your log window as Plugin: Unable to load "TopProcesses.dll" means the plugin load is failed. Is the "TopProcesses.dll" certainly in your plugin folder?
Ps.: Maybe your plugin folder is C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Plugins.

Yep, agree with mak_kawa, it seems the plugin has not been installed properly. Have you installed the skin from the provided link? Because if you have, the proper version of the plugin should have been installed. But first check the installed plugin: in the Log, click Plugin tab and check the list to see if the TopProcesses.dll plugin is listed. Is it?

There are two different places for the plugins:
the built-in plugins are installed to the C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins\ folder
the external plugins are installed to the C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Plugins\ folder.
As you well said, the TopProcesses.dll plugin should reside int the second folder, being an externally installed plugin.
Also there would rarely be the need to alter the default folder hierarchy, so if you have altered it that would be why rainmeter did not install that dll by default...
There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it
The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Why are you thinking hulukroox has altered it? Do you have a reason to believe this?
only because it seems that i have seen the issue resolve after reinstalling from scratch solve dll issues many times in these forums and ppl in kind indicated that a change was made in a similar scenario - these i remember from a while back but ya, thats why balala.

Oh, alright. Let's see if hulukroox comes back with a small explanation. My guess is that the TopProcesses.dll plugin is not installed properly on his system, but let's see...
