Windows Update Broke WMI Service
Hello! I have an issue that I posted to the answers.microsoft.com forum about a week ago, and they recommended me to this forum. Long story short, after windows update KB5008212, WMI service in windows has broken. I think this was somewhere around the Windows 21H2 update in terms of timing. If I start my PC with WMI service enabled, certain programs like notepad++, github, python, etc all seem to start up, pause for a moment, then close without a warning or error message. Just open, pause, close. This makes my PC functionally unusable since nothing works. If I turn off WMI service, my PC seems to run perfectly fine, but Unity3D refuses to boot up since WMI isn't available to it. Since I use Unity3D for alot of my programming and game design, I really need it operational. It doesn't matter how long it takes since I don't need it immediately, but I do need it running. For more information, I've detailed my entire problem and steps I've taken to try to solve it here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/windows-update-broke-wmi-service/38b4465e-8966-4cbf-a528-1a379c3e204d?auth=1&rtAction=1641516896755 If anyone could give me any pointers or assistance, I would be incredibly greatful!Solved4.5KViews0likes4Comments
