Windows 10: Windows Management Instrumentation - causing massive freeze, stutter & system overall slowdown.

Hey there,

It took me 14 hours today to debug this issue on my brand new system. The system goes as follows: AsRock Z390 Phantom Gaming iTX/ac, Core i9 9900k, 32 GB DDR4 3000 MHz XMP RAM, RTX 2080Ti, Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB [OS - Windows 10 Pro Genuine], Samsung 970 Evo 2TB and PSU is SilverStone SFX-L Titanium SX800-LTI 800W, all is under mid-ranged water cooling from Aquacomputer and EK-WB, running on Dell Alienware 35 something something 2560 x 1080p display, meaning I'm no 4k guy juicing my PC. That said, the PC is a state of art HW, shouldn't have any issues of any kind whatsoever. I'm running newest BiOS on my motherboard [P1.50] and...

After 14 long hours of debugging today, I found out that service called Windows Management Instrumentation is causing massive freezes, stutters and slowing down everything. When I move window in Windows Explorer, the cursor of the mouse "sticks" to the upper part of the windows, and I can move "another" cursor while the window is slowly moving like in slow motion.

Also, opening My Computer, or any folder shared via SMB from my server is taking ages. Start works slowly, everything is terrible.

When I disable in msconfig, or services.msc the Windows Management Instrumentation, I'm getting what I paid for. Fluent, near-light speed experience. As soon as I enable the WMi, hell breaks lose on my computer.

Is this a known issue of Windows 10 Pro, 1809, Build 17763.379? Or is it something "at my side" and HW/FW specific?

Please advise

With kind regards

Bryan

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
