WmiPrvSE.exe uses 40-100% cpu. and slows my system.I'm really sick it of it, (so best answer gets full points)?

Question

Hello,

I have an Acer Aspire 8530 notebook. And a process called WmiPrvSE.exe uses alot of cpu(Mainly between 40 and 100%), so some things like watching movies or playing games gets impossible.Even scaling down graphics and screen resolution won't help.

I tried to verify it. And found it in C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WmiPrvSE.exe.
So some internet sites verified it as a windows utility, and not a virus.

I came across a fix, something made by windows, which is SMS2003-SP3-KB937882-X86-ENU.exe
But that won't work, when i run it it says i don't have the rights to do so. So i selected "Run as Admin' which solved that issue. But instead it told me there was not enough free space to run it.

All these internet sites and forums didn't help me to solve this very anoying problem.

Could anyone please help me? That would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance, and Kind Regards

Jarno

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK



Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:

Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.



Then begin by;

delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.



goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions



goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.



Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.



Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.



Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.



Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.





Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:



dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories



Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

Answer 3

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.pchealthcleaner.net



It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

Answer 4

There have to be two issues:



a. Virus Infection (Use Avast free)



b. Corrupt Registry/System errors (Use Reginout )



I am sure it will fix for you.
