Administrators Marcos 5,277 Posted February 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2023 Scanning the WMI can take long, especially if smart optimization is disabled. If there's an issue scanning WMI, it could be that the WMI repository is corrupted and needs to be rebuilt, e.g. as per https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-team/wmi-rebuilding-the-wmi-repository/ba-p/373846.

tommy456 12 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I rebooted the machine, due to another programme that had several days ago caused a problem with windows, becoming un responsive and explorer crashing , and it scanned as intended , so must have been down to that maybe ending some other windows process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
