Some Windows users feel very stuck when running the system, and when they check the task manager, they find that the background program wmiproviderhost takes up a lot of memory. But the front-end doesn't see what programs are using the process. So what exactly is the use of the wmiproviderhost process, can it be shut down directly? If I want to close it, how do I do it? I'm going to explain it to you today. Win10 Tips
The WMI provider host can end the process.
ButIt is highly discouraged for users to force it offBecause this is a system process, if it is shut down directly, it may have an impact on subsequent use. However, if you keep occupying it, you can forcibly end it.
1. Presswin+rto open the run, enter ".services.mscClick OK
2. After entering the system service interface, find the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service in the list, and double-click to enter it
3. After entering the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service, click on the dependency, and you can see that the "IP Helper" and "Security Center" components depend on this service
4. We find the "IP Helper" service in the system service list, and double-click to enter it
5. Stop the "IP Helper" service, change the startup type to manual, and click OK
6. Find the "Windows Defender Firewall" service, set the startup type to disabled, and close the service, so that the dependent components of WMI are closed, and the CPU can be used.
The above is the relevant description of the wmiproviderhost process, I hope it will be helpful to all users.
