Windows 10: Need help in resolving WMI Host Provider high CPU Usage (please help)

Hello people, I recently got a PC built, and when I got it, it ran just fine, for a month or more, but one day I decided to update my Nvidia drivers because a game (RDR 2) wasn't running well, so I updated the drivers, restarted my computer and started the game, it ran much better than before but the next day when I launched the game it was lagging alot so I decided to check Task Manager and I found that WMI Host was using alot of CPU, 12-13% even on idle, I tried to disable it, I also tried downgrading drivers, also re-installed windows, did all the fixes I could find, which include, restarting the service, changing it's start-up type, checking it's event log to find errors with certain ProcessIDs and disabling said process, although I could find a few of the processes with the IDs most of them were not listed on Task Manager or tasklist. I'm very confused as to what do I do now. Kindly help me.
