Windows 10: Why does WMI provider host always opens WMI reverse performance adapter on startup?

Why does it do that? Can I do something to reduce its impact on my laptop's gaming performance?

WMI Provider Host

Hello again, i ran the batch file, and it accomplished nothing. I then gave TrustedInstaller, System, etc.. Full control over some dlls's however, I also repaired the .net frameworks i had installed. and restarted the service using Windows+R "services.msc"

Nothing changed.

Here are a couple more images of the process manager.

[Fixed] WMI Provider Host: High CPU Usage On Windows 10



You asked if there is any fix for this besides Clean Boot, yet a Clean Boot is one of the simplest steps you can take to relieve problems like this. Are you confusing it with a Clean Reinstall of Windows which is NOT indicated here?

Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders (clean boot) which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account to replace yours which may be corrupted. Then if necessary continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

3) Update your drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware from the PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page, using the full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page. Everything else depends on this.

4) If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems.
