    WMI Provider Host and System Taking Up High CPU %


    I'm new to pc troubleshooting so please bear with me WMI Provider Host and System Taking Up High CPU % :) For the last four months I have been suffering from stutters in my games due to spikes in CPU usage. My computer had been running fine before with no stuttering at all. But now I can't play anything without it stuttering every few seconds. I found that the cause of these stutters is WMI Provider host and System (Though the spike in system CPU usage is quite recent). WMI Provider host will take up anywhere from 15% to 23% CPU usage and system stays around 30%. I have tried restarting WMI in services but when I do I get the notification that​

    "Windows Could not stop the Windows Management Instrumentation service on Local Computer Error 5: Access is denied"​

    This happens while running services as administrator as well. I also have tried narrowing down the services that are causing the high WMI CPU usage with event viewer and task manager but the ClientProcessId's that show up in event viewer does not appear in task manager. The only ones that do are for Avira and Malwarebytes. I have tried scanning for malware but when I do my scanners do not detect anything. Also, I have no idea what could be causing the System high CPU usage so any help on that would be appreciated.

    Thank you in advance WMI Provider Host and System Taking Up High CPU % :)
