WMI Provider Host
I keep getting 100% CPU utilization with bulk coming from WMI Provider Host (60-70%). After seeing a lot posts indicating the problem was Synapse, I killed the Raser process and reinstalled, problem solved, for a few hours. The only thing that works: disabled Razer Synapse 3 from startup and do NOT load the software.
RazerSynapseInstaller_V1.11.0.379
So after multiple re-installs, I've disabled Razer Synapse 3 from startup so I can at least use my system. Sadly, that means Razer macro, chroma and everything else don't work.
My System:
Motherboard MSI MPG Z390 EDGE AC
Processor Intel Core i5 9600k 6 Core 4.6GHz
Memory (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz G.SKILL Trident Z-32GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 -
HDD/SSD Xidax Performance SSD 500GB -
2nd HDD Western Digital Black 2TB - 7200RPM 3.5" HDD -
OS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit -
Example of multiple reports on the issue:
This post is from 4 years ago with last response 7 months ago agreeing it is Razer Synapse.
