    Windows 10 Pro Application Log flooded with Event ID 10 WMI errors

    Okay I seem to have figured out what was causing my issue.

    I went into services and found the WMI service and clicked for a restart. (Not to restart)

    Once I did that it popped up all the applications that were dependent on WMI service.

    I took note of what applications were listed and cancelled the restart.

    From the list I noticed a few that I wouldn't be able to stop or remove. I did however notice a couple programs from Dell that could be stopped/removed safely.

    The two programs I was going to focus on first were:

    Dell SupportAssistant

    Dell SupportAssistant Agent

    I started with Dell SupportAssistant Agent and removed it from add and remove programs. (Left the other one in place)

    Once removed, I monitored the event viewer and the application log and found my WMI errors that were flooding my logs had stopped.

    Issue resolved

  3. WMI Provider Host - Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you the WMI provider host use high CPU of the PC. Usually, WMI Host Provider doesn’t use much usage of the CPU. It will use the CPU when any software or script that asks for some information via WMI. High usage of the
    CPU is just the sign that another software is seeking for some information or requesting any data via WMI.



    However, the high usage of the CPU for a long time for WMI is an indication that something is wrong because WMI Provider Host doesn’t occupy the resources of the CPU for a long time.



    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these methods and check if the issue is fixed.



    Method 1: Restart the WMI Provider Host Service

    1. Press Windows key + R to launch the
      Run command, then type Services.msc and press the
      Ok.
    2. Scroll down all the services and find
      Windows Management Instrumentation and then Right click on it and select
      Properties.
    3. Set the startup type to Automatic and then restart the service.


    Method 2: Restart other WMI provider Host related Services

    1. Click on Start Menu and type CMD, right click on
      CMD icon and select Run as administrator.
    2. In the Command Prompt Window type the following command and press
      Enter after each command.
    • net stop iphlpsvc
    • net stop wscsvc
    • net stop Winmgmt
    • net start Winmgmt
    • net start wscsvc
    • net start iphlpsvc
    3. Restart your computer and check if the WMI provider Host having high CPU usage

    4. Now press the Windows Logo Key +
      X
      simultaneously, then select Task Manager.
    5. Now, click on the Service tab and Find the processes with the Matching IDs as seen in
