wmiprvse.exe problem in Vista Business
Okay, I have Windows Vista Business edition, and a couple weeks ago, I've
been having a problem with this process (WmiPrvSE.EXE - which I know is a core process for Windows, and is not recommended that I disable it) taking up a rather large portion of my CPU. It usually hovers around 25% usage, which is quite a significant hit to performance on my system (nothing fancy here), especially being that I have to run programs on my machine which use up a lot of CPU processes on their own. Are there any suggestions on what I can do, to help remedy this problem? |

wmiprvse.exe problem in Vista Business
Hello all, i had the same problem. I searched a bit in the internet, but i wasn't able to find a solution for the problem. Just before reinstall my windows, i read, that the dell system software uses WMI. i deleted the dell "quickset" (which display me informationen about volume, controls the colors of the leds in my laptop and many more) and the cpu usage has gone. Its for sure not a solution for the main problem, but maybe you try to find the software on your system which is using WMI to be able to work normal with your system. Are there any new informations about problems in WMI, which are causing problems with high permanently cpu usage? Thanks for help and i hope i was able to help a bit. Best regards from germany Nico -- chiefbrody |

One thing you could do is see the tutorial(if not familiar with Task Scheduler) and go to the Task Scheduler applet/control program/whatever and make sure under the View menu that "Show Hidden Tasks" is checked. Look through stuff and see if you can find a task that was either created or enabled around the time the problem started. Unfortunately there's so much crap in there that it may keep you busy for awhile. I saw a post about this same problem running some Norton software but it was back in 2004 so I assume they were talking about XP. Most likely some system utility or other created or enabled a scheduled task to constantly gather some stats or monitor something. -- MilesAhead "How come we don't know the I.Q. of the guy who invented the test?" |
