I keep getting Event ID 63 - WMI - Provider: IntelMEProv

Yesterday my pc updated a driver called: Intel - SoftwareComponent - 2130.1.15.0 .When I restarted my PC today I got this warning:

Source: WMI

Event ID: 63

A provider, IntelMEProv, has been registered in the Windows Management Instrumentation namespace root\Intel_ME to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

Is this something to be concerned about? or I can just ignore it? This warning only shows up when I restart my PC, when shutting down it doesn't show up on my event viewer

edit: I think I managed to stop the warnings, by restoring a system restore point before the update

 

IntelMEProv WMI Warning

Hello Pz Sniper,

Thank you for responding.

As per article below, it stated that "this warning is by design". These warning messages are expected during the installation of Configuration Manager client and can be safely ignored. The reasoning behind the warning is that we are letting the users know that any WMI provider (IntelMEProv) that runs under the LocalSystem context is not optimal. Therefore, it just provide the warning anytime the WMI service starts up.

If the warning messages continue to be logged after the installation of Configuration Manager client is complete, it may be because the Configuration Manager Client Retry Task in Scheduled Tasks was not removed after the successful install. If you continue to experience these warning messages after the Configuration Manager client is successfully installed, deleting or disabling this task in Scheduled Task will stops the numerous WMI warning messages from being generated.

Please see articles below for more information:

The first link shows a different provider not 'IntelMEProv' but the warning message is exactly the same.

I hope I was able to help you today.

Thank you for choosing Microsoft. Have a great day and stay safe!
