I am constantly experiencing high utilization from WMIPrvSE.exe on my computer, in the neighborhood of 40 - 60%. I looked at the Operational Logs under EventViewer -> Applications and Services -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WMI-Activity and have the following error messages being generated every minute or so.
Id = {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}; ClientMachine = RANSOM-DESKTOP; User = RANSOM-DESKTOP\kcran; ClientProcessId = 10116; Component = Unknown; Operation = Start IWbemServices::ExecQuery - ROOT\CIMV2 : SELECT CommandLine,ProcessId FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name LIKE 'MicrosoftEdge%'; ResultCode = 0x80041032; PossibleCause = Unknown
Looking at the ClientProcessID under Event Viewer, the PID is associated with Norton Family. Has anyone seen this to be an issue with Norton Family. I am running version 3.6.1.44 on Windows 10.
