WMI Provider Host

Question

I am trying to resolve an issue with WMI Provider Host process that is consuming a ton of CPU/Memory. I have seen several resolutions on Google searching, however, none seem to really fix the issue. Any other help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!!

How about if you restart it? Maybe something useful found here find the PID and look it up Task Manager\Processes.

Dave Patrick&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for the info! I did the suggested scripts in that article with no results.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dave Patrick&nbsp;When I look at the events in Event Viewer, none of the PIDs are in Task Manager anymore, so I cannot restart them.
