wmic path Win32_VideoController - Description = Unspecified error
recently on my machine, wmic is sort of borked. running "wmic path Win32_VideoController" results in
Code:
ERROR: Description = Unspecified error
wmic is definitely installed on the machine. running just "wmic" takes me to the "wmic:root\cli" shell. the WMI service is also running.
if i run "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_VideoController", i get the normal video card info for the output.
does anyone know why wmic would be acting finicky?

the wmic command related to your video controller. If running "wmic path Win32_VideoController" results in an error or doesn't work as expected, it could indicate a problem with your system's WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) or with the video driver.
