Wmiprvse.exe constantly running

Wmiprvse.exe uses all my cycles CPU. I tried to run my antivirus AVG auditor and SpeedyPC software, and nothing has changed. How can I stop this CPU hog? Running Windows XP Professional SP3, all installed updates. Tried stopping the process in the Task Manager, and it comes right off. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.  None of the articles or links solved the problem. Several of them wanted to sell me programs, which also does not help.

I finally replaced the wmiprvse.exe file in \wbem with that of a previous update XP, and so far the issue is resolved.  I cross my fingers.

Thanks again for your help, tho.

    Hello

    For a better understanding of the question, I would like to know if the computer is connected to the domain network?

    Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a component of the Microsoft Windows operating system that provides control and management information in an enterprise environment. With wmiprvse.exe, managers of files in enterprise environments are capable of configuring and searching for desktop system or network information and applications on the network. Developers use the wmiprvse.exe file to develop applications used for monitoring purposes. These programs can inform users about important events associated with the right management of network and files or applications after each event occurs.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state, and check if the problem persists.

    Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    What is going on? It's "Patch Tuesday/Wednesday" and updates are not just downhill. By clicking on "check for updates" some results in an endless search for updates and svchost.exe runs constantly on my computer this morning and continues to despite several reboots.

    It is obviously something to do with the Windows updates, as they are supposed to nd today I'm worried how and when this will be looked at in / fixed.

    I suppose that decisions to accumulate all of the updates in October and prevent users from having a choice in what they do/don't install has something to do with this current problem?

    (Have not changed the settings / installed what either, and I did not install W10 either.) The OS that is on my computer, now, is what was on it when I bought it so bar regular update via windows nothing has changed.)

  • WmiPrvSE.exe running using 25% of the CPU.

    Just yesterday, I noticed that my CPU was running several processes to idle: WmiPrvSE.exe, svchost.exe and mcods.exe.  Mcods is a process of Mcafee, I'm guessing that Wmiprvse is the process that is currently running and trying to solve something?  I tried to restore to a previous point, but received an error message about the restoration process is not be able to find a file of the registry and not being able to restore to an earlier point.  I ran a scan of full virus/malware with McAfee as suggested in other responses of WmiPrvSE and no problems were detected. I'd appreciate any help troubleshooting this.

  • vROPS Horizon and high processor WmiPrvSE.exe Office Agent

    We lack v6.1.0 Agent of skyline view that has the Operations Manager of vRealize built in agent.  With the operation of the service "VMware vRealize Agent of Horizon Operations Office", we find that 4-10% CPU usage (our VDI sessions are two of vCPU) of WmiPrvSE.exe.  Using the process monitor the process constantly trying to access the C:\Windows\System32\tzres.dll file which seems to cover the Windows time zone setting.  When the service is disabled as Wmiprvse.exe disappears and CPU goes back down.  Anyone has any ideas on what the heck is going on?  It's much too broad for a monitoring tool and you just want to remove all together.  We had this problem from the beginning (running vROPS 6 within our environment 5.3 view before the upgrade).

    Thank you

    Just a quick update... we have disabled the service vRealize and the CPU has dropped down.  We had trouble finding the value of the product anyway so we have stopped using it.

  • Why is wmiprvse.exe begins with Firefox 32.0.1 under XP SP3?

    Whenever I run Firefox, I see wmiprvse.exe load as a running process. I see this using Process Explorer from Sysinternals. This happened since I updated to the current version of Firefox (32.0.1). It also occurs whenever I start the latest version of Thunderbird (31.1.1). I have two questions:

    1. is this a normal behavior?
    2. If so, why is it necessary?

    And just to clarify things, I researched for HOURS using 'my friend' Google. I also tried to get the answers to these questions in the various forums without success. My copy of wmiprvse.exe is NOT infected (I ran across Virustotal) and is located only where it is supposed to be on my hard drive.

    Please help me by joining answers to the two questions I and do not forget that I am talking only about XP SP3.

  • Wmiprvse.exe questions

    The wmiprvse.exe process is sometimes doping my CPU 100% usage I do not receive any error messages, but my system drastically reduced almost to the point of him looking like it has frozen or stopped loading. When the % CPU goes down, functions return. But her do that all the time.

    IV ran virus/spyware scans both normally and in safe mode. Nothing is displayed. I am using Windows XP: Home edition. Intel (r) Pentium (r) 4 CPU 2.8 GHz ideas or suggestions?

    I have dl'ed Malwar tool and ran it in safe mode. 4 + hours into it, I fell asleep. Woke up to find that it's over. It showed 0 files/problems.

    The interesting part is with background programs.

    Run my computer normally I have the problem, obviously. When I started the selective startup and disabled all programs other than microsoft background, the problem seems to have disappeared.

    So I started to add programs gradually, trying to find what it was caused the problem. I eventuly went back to having all programs again activated. And yet, the problem was gone.

    So I went form selective (with permit) startup to normal startup. And that's where the problem showed itself again.

    Is their all that normal startup the selective startup do not even charges listed?

    A ran the thing even ditch startup programs themselves. You seem to have found the culprit. VerizonServicepoint
