Wmiprvse.exe CPU Excessive use

Similar Questions

• 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.
  I am Windows 7 64 bit and only a novice with the computer jargon.

• The "helpsvc.exe" process is using 81% of CPU. I want to know the means for each withdrawal helpctr helphost... etc or deactivata, or the use of the limit of the CPU!

  Helpsvc.exe has ben using 81% and over CPU causing other processes to go slow or stop!  Norton identified helpsvc.exe as the CPU "pig" but I have no way to remove or limit its use. Add/Remove Programs, or a deletion of file has been accepted.  How can this problem be controlled, any suggestions?

  Normally, helpsvc.exe shouldn't use all CPU resources, if you use actually help and support and not much even in this case.  It is possible, however, that you have a malware application using the same name.

  The correct helpsvc.exe must be placed in C:\Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries.  The current version should be 5.1.2600.5997 and 727 KB in size.  If your helpsvc.exe is located in another directory or a different size, it is probably malware.  What is the real message of your Norton product?

  There was a problem with helpsvc.exe exhausting the resources of the computer, but that the problem was supposed to have been corrected in Service Pack 2 (and you have sp3, correct?). http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/839017

  If all else fails, you can disable using Windows:

  1. Start > run > services.msc > OK
  2. Scroll down to "Help and Support" and right-click on it and select Properties.
  3. Stop the service.
  4. Set the startup type to "Manual" (service starts when you click Help and Support) or 'off '.
  5. OK your way out.

• 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.

• 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

  Tested all other programs on their to. It's the only one.

• WmiPrvSE Vista CPU utilization

  When I look in the Manager of tasks of all users, WmiPrvSE.exe appears twice, running under the user's system and the user of the network.  The user of the network is constantly running and use about 20% of my CPU even when I have nothing else but the work task manager.  I am running Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion is a few years old.  I ran full scans with malwarebytes and Kaspersky and my system has come out completely clean.  It's the only thing I know that is causing my fan and my system to run hard and slow all the time.  This is my laptop which has a wireless connection, but is not part of a larger network or anything like that.  What can I do to improve performance?

• 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.

• Drag & Drop sometimes gives excessive use of persistent processor (WKS TP June 2012)

  The host Windows 7 x 64 SP1 Workstation Tech Prev June 2012 16 GB, 4 CPU

  Comments Windows 8 x 64 Release Preview 2 GB, 2 vCPUs

  Drag / drop a file from the host to the client desktop sometimes shows the pointer of the mouse as circle with slash and translates VMware tool Core Service using 100% of the total CPU, or 50% on the two vCPUs.

  Before a Drag & Drop and after a Drag & Drop

  

  Most of the time the CPU spikes result when Drag & Drop fails, that is, it shows a circle with a slash in the world mouse pointer, then roll the mouse off the desktop and on the back and an icon from the taskbar a few times shows finally the mouse pointer from the anchor and it can be moved successfully on the desk of comments.

  And after a few minutes, this excessive CPU reduced to 1 vCPU charge, but never goes away until vmtoolsd is finished.

  

  Details:

  

  

  I noticed that there are 2 vmtoolds.exe running, dieting and the other under the user, but under the user.

  Also, I remember seeing this same behavior in an older computer, like 6.

  You can use the Task Manager to kill the vmtoolsd.exe process that uses 100% of CPU.  To restart it, you run a command line like this:

  "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe" -n vmusr

  The exact command line to run is located in the registry:

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, VMware user process string value

• 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.

  
  

• In "Services.exe" CPU usage increases to 100 percent XP.

  In "Services.exe" CPU usage increases to 100 percent XP. Attempt to disable Load System Services through the system without result Configuration utility, because cpu cannot handle this function before of 'Services' system of pigs. Is there a way to access msconfig. through BACK? Have tried all modes safe mode, same problem.

  I would exercise caution in handling things in the System Configuration utility.  If you disable the thing (s) evil, you could make your problem worse.

  I suggest provide you a little more information on your system, run some scans for malware, then fix what's left more that needs fixing.

  If you see services.exe equips in the Task Manager, suspect malware first, work to eliminate this possibility (with the scans below), then if you still have a problem, we can fix.

  It makes no sense to try to solve problems on a system that could have malicious software on it.

  You can also try to run system restore if you want, but I don't really know, it counts as 'fixing' of the problem.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  No matter what you use for malware protection, perform the following analyses for malware.
  then fix any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these malware free
  detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

• Works with Windows XP SP2 with IE8. A Norton 360 process ccSvcHst.exe CPU consumption. Upgraded to version 4.0.__Now IE8 Norton is very unstable, different processes consuming CPU even with turned off Norton. __

  I opened a folder support with Norton a couple of days, for a problem with ccSvcHst.exe cripling process my system by consuming my CPU.  I found that it was a common problem, and so I wanted Norton to solve.  Their guy accesed my remote system support and made a few changes to my configuration utility and my registry files and then upgraded my version of their latest version 4.0

  After the end of the support session, I finally restarted my system and encountered an error on my configuration utility being in a State of diagnosis, then that I should put it in a normal mode and restart again.  I noticed that it had disabled the start of my services.  I selected a normal startup and restarted.

  The problem with ccSvcHst.exe consuming my CPU is now resolved - be replaced by different processes consuming my CPU and use of extremely heavy memory (or misuse).  Faulty processes are mostly explorer.exe and iexplore.exe.  Not only that, but this current problem exists even when I turn off Norton.  I tried you connecting another deal with them, but they will not address the issue, since the problem (now) exist even without Norton running.  So, basically, they made the problem worse and then pushed him on Microsoft to resolve the issue.  It's really nice...

  Anyone have any ideas?

  It seems that your computer is infected. I get this from the fact that iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) is running. If you haven't started IE yourself, then it is a clear symptom of malware infection.

• WmiPrvSE.exe constantly calls c:\windows\system32\tzres.dll and tzres.dll.mui in the Windows 7 SP1

  clean install of Windows and all the Windows updates applied, same Microsoft Security Essential antivirus installed, and the WmiPrvSE.exe process constantly calls c:\windows\system32\tzres.dll and tzres.dll.mui in Windows 7 SP1.

  If the use of the HARD drive is never-ending, because he calls the files per second, and I have the red light of the hard disk activity lights up every second.

  

  also this problem because constant use of the processor to 3% in my PC, the WmiPrvSE.exe process never stop calling the above mentioned files.

  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.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to install all Windows updates available including the optional updates and check if it helps.
