wmiprvse.exe (Process)
File name: wmiprvse.exe
Long name: Windows Management Instrumentation
Description: Windows Management Instrumentation Provider Host program.
Provides management information and control in an enterprise environment.
WMI keeps track of specific hardware and some software to provide reporting services that help the software function.
Beginning with Windows XP, WMI resides in a shared service host with several other services. To avoid stopping all the services when a provider fails, providers are loaded into a separate host process named Wmiprvse.exe. Multiple instances of Wmiprvse.exe can run at the same time under different accounts: LocalSystem, NetworkService, or LocalService. The WMI core WinMgmt.exe is loaded into the shared Local Service host named Svchost.exe.
