This is what synapse does all the time in WMI, I've noticed. it repeats this loop all the time.

Restarting Windows Management Instrumentation involved restarting its dependent services as well, but it does serve as a workaround, thanks.

Seems the current workaround is to ensure once Synapse app loaded, restart WMI service.

But if you decide to close and re-open Synapse app, then problem re-occurs so have to restart WMI service again.

There are multiple error lines like below in the logs. Please pass this to your engineering team for further investigation.

It seems Synapse is continuously polling to get certain process info and failed.

My WMI repository is consistent with no errors, as well as sfc scan result.

C:\\>winmgmt /verifyrepository
WMI repository is consistent

C:\\>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.

After the latest update:
I have cpu overload on WMI Provider Host.
Razer you need to let us roll back update of the synapse app.
You need to disable the latest update and let us download the old one.

Same here, WMI service restart tends to fix it... long ago I had a similar issue with Bitdefender scanning Synapse 3 non-stop... Now windows Hates Synapse.. fix your shit razer... the built quality ain't the only problem... we're also having a discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/xk8xas/razer_synapse_constantly_forcing_wmi_provider/

I have similar issue after the recent update (20230210). Razer Central Service and WMI Provider Host kept running in the background after the update. Previously was working fine but now it's kept running in the background for no reason. Anyway to resolve this issue please?


Restart WMI service in Windows until they fix the issue.

Similar issue. If Synapse 3 is running in background, WMI provider host repeatedly ramps up CPU usage causing CPU to continuously go from low usage 800MHz to boost rate 4.8GHz. Simply closing the Synapse process instantly fixes the issue.

Any updates on this ?, because I'm running the latest Synapse version (3.8.209.20311), and the issue is still there

if you suspect something, investigate the persistent wmi:
*with the command prompt
wmic /namespace:\\\\root\\subscription PATH __EventFilter get/format:list
wmic /namespace:\\\\root\\subscription PATH __EventConsumer get/format:list
wmic /namespace:\\\\root\\subscription PATH __FilterToConsumerBinding get/format:list

I posted reference links, because lay people don't know how to act in incident response. @DEV if "Insider house rules" rules match the bad threat info I'm not sure what I'm doing here.

wmi was developed for client management but is commonly used unreliably. with the potential to harm even the security of the system.

Same issue on Windows 10. While Synapse in running, WMI Provider Host gets anywhere between 10% and 90% CPU usage (higher when doing anything in Synapse), 0% when Synapse is closed and all the trailing processes (specifically GameManagerService) are killed in the Task Manager.
Read a suggestion that updating Synapse solves this, but no luck with up-to-date 3.7.1209.121307.

Hello guys, a few days ago I have been having a problem of high cpu usage sometimes up to 100% with the WMI provider host and reading in reedit I realized that several people had this problem and that it was caused by razer synapse 3 software when uninstalling it the problem went away and my cpu returned to normal, do you have a solution for this, my keyboard and mouse are Razer. thank you very much.

Note: I have windows 11 Pro and i9 13900k RTX 4090 and Asus Z790 Hero.
