mixvar Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I discovered that running Speccy on my laptop (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit) causes WMI Provider Host process to constantly use 10-20% CPU (significantly raising temperatures and fan noise). I see plenty of errors (one every second) in Event Viewer under Applications and Service Logs => Microsoft => Windows => WMI Activity. Here is the XML dump of the error (they all look the same): <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity" Guid="{1418EF04-B0B4-4623-BF7E-D74AB47BBDAA}" /> <EventID>5858</EventID> <Version>0</Version> <Level>2</Level> <Task>0</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x4000000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2017-11-01T15:30:37.753924100Z" /> <EventRecordID>4215</EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID="3728" ThreadID="10988" /> <Channel>Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational</Channel> <Computer>DESKTOP-ORHEPT8</Computer> <Security UserID="S-1-5-18" /> </System> <UserData> <Operation_ClientFailure xmlns="http://manifests.microsoft.com/win/2006/windows/WMI"> <Id>{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}</Id> <ClientMachine>DESKTOP-ORHEPT8</ClientMachine> <User>DESKTOP-ORHEPT8\mixvar</User> <ClientProcessId>10480</ClientProcessId> <Component>Unknown</Component> <Operation>Start IWbemServices::ExecQuery - root\cimv2 : SELECT * FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_Tcpip_NetworkInterface</Operation> <ResultCode>0x80041017</ResultCode> <PossibleCause>Unknown</PossibleCause> </Operation_ClientFailure> </UserData> </Event> ClientProcessId points to Speccy.

Willy2 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 - Try if running Tweaking's Windows Repair fixes the problem. And makes sure that you - at least - run repair #5.

Precisely the same issue. Now using [competition software] instead on my work PC. Definitely not as simple/straightforward as Speccy but locating the relevant temps is easy enough.
