"WMI Provider Host" Stuttering game

[Leonard]

My game will freeze for 1 second about 4-5 times, this happens every 10-15 mins of playing.

I checked the Task Manager when this happens and "WMI Provider Host" is launched and taking CPU power, then when the CPU usage goes to 0 (after about 20s) the game stops lagging and then the process goes away shortly after.

This only happens in ELDEN RING, I've tested multiple games and couldn't recreate the results! I've played about 400 hours of this game and haven't played it for a year, it never did this before.

*Solutions I've tried*
-Reinstalled game
-Ran game in offline mode
-Disabled EAC
-Restarted system
-Updated Windows and Drivers
-Restarted the WMI service while playing
-Scanned for Viruses/Malware, checked authenticity of the WMI file

PLEASE HELP!

Did you find a solution for those games? I'm on Windows 10 and it only happens with Elden Ring

Restarted pc worked on win 11 idk about 10 but do view in task manager if vmi host is using alot of the cpu the process is usually gradually spiking when this issue occurs vmi should normally be below 1% usage

WMI Provider Host is active if a windows event log get written this can cause a processing halt of all other apps if a memory dumb get created, check the windows event viewer if you get constant logging of something

I think i've narrowed down my freezing issues to my wireless mouse. Everytime it goes to sleep the game freezes for a few seconds and when I turn it off completely it does the same. Also happens when I turn it on again. I've started turning off the mouse when playing Elden Ring.

I am very sure this didn't happen before, so I want to put blame on windows 11. I'm a bit biased though.

EDIT

Using a G pro from logitech, and it spat out "logitech lamparray" errors in the event viewer when it froze. I disabled the service though, but it still happens as mentioned above.

Seems alot of people have been trouble with some recent updates with WIn11 causing issues with ER

I am on win 10 and also got stutters.

Wired mouse and latest drivers and all.

They just messed up the game with one of the newest updates

Lamp Array? Is that an RGB control service? Some RGB control software has been shown in the past to cause stuttering. Solutions were to update the software in hopes that it was fixed in an update, or just delete it.

Game hasn't had any significant performance changes other than raytracing which negatively affects performance on all PCs. Windows, however has received a bunch of updates and continues Microsoft's tradition of "fixing" things that weren't broke.

at the same day the EAC update came a windows update screwed up for some systrmes the USB power saving functions, in about the half cases deactivating the USB powersaving in all powerplans helped.

open notepad and paste this:

Sub ExecuteCommand(cmd)
Dim shell
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run cmd, 0, True
Set shell = Nothing
End Sub

Do
ExecuteCommand "winmgmt /salvagerepository"

WScript.Sleep 300000
Loop

save it on the desktop with the name you want but save the file in .vbs format then run it and that's it. See if this solves the problem
