Windows 10: service.exe is taking ~60% of my cpu, help me please

https://preview.redd.it/loqitjfbnol...bp&s=623688e0df3a258d0cd8e7a736ce72c269f06d34

This started about 2 days ago and nothing i have tried from online sources have worked. This is making it very hard to do any form of multitasking which i do a lot whenever i use my computer. Please can you help me solve this.

I've seen some things online about this being a windows updating sort of thing and i should leave it over time, is that true?



sorry in advance i'm not the most knowledgeable about windows and operating systems.

WMI Provider host taking up 60% CPU, computer almost unusable

WMI Provider Host is taking up around 60% of my CPU since the last 1903 update.
Additionally the service host windows management instrumentation is taking up 10%

All my drivers are updated.


This makes my laptop almost unusable. So i really want some help here.





Thanks in advance,

I got following somewhere, which solved this issue on a friend's machine.

Event Viewer > View menu > Show Analytic and Debug Logs




Open the main Applications and Service Logs and drill down to:
Microsoft > Windows > WMI-Activity > Operational




Look for red-marked "Error" entries. Click on one, and note the ClientProcessID number—see screenshot above, where number = 19204.

Now open Task Manager > Details tab and look for the number, eg 19204.
If you don't see it, check the Services tab.
Whatever program/app is associated with the number may be your problem. I say "may" because some errors may not be serious. Probably best to make a list of apps associated with Errors, and then disable or uninstall the service or app one-by-one until you find the culprit.

You could also post the list here, and someone may recognize a frequently troublesome app.
