I noticed a high CPU usage by WMI process in win 10. When I checked Event Viewer, WMI Activity Operational events were logging errors 100s of times (10 times every 1 sec to be exact) which were too damn high. I then traced it to a process related to Killer Software (I have an Alienware which came preinstalled with this software which I believe is related to the Killer wifi/bluetooth card).
The error being thrown by wmi is as below
Id = {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}; ClientMachine = PUNITHALIENWARE; User = NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM; ClientProcessId = 25536; Component = Unknown; Operation = Start IWbemServices::ExecQuery - ROOT\CIMV2 : SELECT ProcessorId FROM Win32_Processor; ResultCode = 0x80041032; PossibleCause = Unknown
I killed all those processes and now cpu usage has come down. Does anyone know what exactly was the issue and how to actually solve it.
