Windows 10: Windows Management Instrumentation Repository changes (WMI/WBEM)

Windows Management Instrumentation Repository changes (WMI/WBEM)

I had a BSOD and after that the WIndows 10 PC behaved very slow and suspicious for a long while until I had to restart it .... almost felt like it was busy doing other things ...

Later I looked at what file had changed during that period and their was changes in:

C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository

where most of the map/btr/data files etc. had changed ...

I might be paranoid but I just want to check if this is a directory that should change often since my own seems to be changing often (last change when I restarted the machine) and I have read about there being WMI (WIndows Management Instrumentation) attacks - WMI is what this directory is for ...

Malwarebytes, windows defender and SFC scannow shows nothing wrong (ran them serveral times) but the files in that directory seems to be changing very often as I said ...

Does anyone know if this is files that should change often, or you might give additional info or maybe you can look at your own directory and see if yours is changing too?

hi i had the same issue and looked online and found this which worked for me:

I suggest you take the following steps to reset WMI Repository. If the issue can be resolved by following suggestion, the issue should be caused by a corrupted WMI component.

Restore the WMI Repository

====================

1. Click "Start", type: services in the search box and press Enter.

2. Right click on “Windows Management Instrumention”, choose Stop. Do not close this Service window.

3. Locate Repository folder in C:\windows\system32\wbem, rename Repository to Repositoryold. Repository (make sure service is still stopped because the service will restart automatically otherwise you will not be able to rename the folder)

4. Restart the “Windows Management Instrumention” service.

5. Restart the computer to test this issue.

RE: Microsoft WBEM WMI Policy SOM Provider

I have this CLSID {AAEAE72F-0328-4763-8ECB-23422EDE2DB5} missing from my computer and it corresponds to Microsoft WBEM WMI Policy SOM Provider.

I removed Office 2010 from my pc and perhaps this is why?

I am just trying to clear the WMI of all errors. Thanks for your help.
