Windows 10: I Screwed Up Mt Processor Name in Regedit!

So, I have an i5-4590. A little I, for no good reason renamed my processor to "Intel(R) CoreTM i7-8700 CPU @". Eventually I changed it back. Except now it says ""Intel(R) CoreTM i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30Ghz 3.30". So is there a way to reset the processor name string? Or will I have to wait until I upgrade my CPU? Thanks in advance!

Processor name not showing in System properties window

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) Service usually manages the information displayed in the System properties window. It could be possible that the service is not running properly that is the reason the Processor name is not displayed in
the System properties window.



I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Scroll down, look for Windows Management Instrumentation service, and check if the service is running.
   
4. If the service is not running then, right click on the service and click on
   Properties.
   
5. Now, select Automatic from the drop down for
   Startup type.
   
6. Click on Start to start the service and click on
   OK.
   
7. Restart the computer.
   

Let us know the results.
