Hi!
I have an ongoing problem with WmiPrvSE.exe, - every now and again it seems to hog the processor and maxes it out, -when I open the task manager I can see that the processor is running at 100% with WmiPrvSE.exe accounting for the lions share of that. -Its a problem because I can`t run any sort of music program or media player without it pausing in the middle of playing a track or film (it makes a horrendous noise too), its also causing problems with other applications - interrupting their operation. -I sometimes Broadcast to a server and can`t really afford to put up with this problem because its interrupting my programs. - I have had to switch to another windows 7 PC for now or at least until I can cure this problem.
Has anybody else come across this problem and is there a viable fix for it? - I understand that this is a essential windows service and is needed for the anti-virus program (defender), someone suggested to me that a wi-fi driver helper application that uses the service was known to cause this problem, but I am on a wired lan and have disabled the wi-fi, and the problem still occurs .
Anybody?
