Windows Booting very slow after 2004 update ,

I ran

It returned "WMI repository is consistent"

Just for interest I tried..

C:\WINDOWS\system32>winmgmt /resetrepository

WMI repository reset failed

Error code: 0x8007041B

WMI Invalid class but "WMI repository is consistent"

On my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit PC, when I go to WMI Control in Computer Management under "Services and Applications" and select "More Actions" -> Properties, it displays the following:-

Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.

Win32_Processor: WMI: Invalid class

Win32_WMISetting: WMI: Invalid class

Security information: Successful Win32_OperatingSystem: WMI Invalid class

However, when I run command "winmgmt /verifyrepository" in an elevated command prompt (as advised in many web-pages) it reports: "WMI repository is consistent" which, I'm led to believe means the WMI Repository is NOT corrupt. How do I fix the Invalid class error?
