WMI Provider Host

[Tim Hunter]

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!!

Something here may help.

Thanks for the info! I did the suggested scripts in that article with no results.

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

@Dave Patrick 

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

You may need to start killing processes one at a time to figure out the culprit.

@Tim Hunter  did you ever find a solution to this problem. I am in the same boat as you, none of the event ID in event viewer match what is going on in task manager
