WMI Event ID 63 Warning in Event Viewer

Anonymous

Hi all,

On the 7.7.2022 (DD.MM.YY) my Reliability Monitor listed an update which was performed "Intel - SoftwareComponent - 2130.1.15.0". I frequently check the Event Viewer for any Errors etc. This time the mentioned Event ID 63 with the Description:

"A provider,IntelMEProv, has been registered in the Windows Management Instrumentation namespace root\Intel_ME to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests." - was showing up 3 times in a row ever since the mentioned Intel update was performed.

Everything is functional as usual and i haven't had any BSOD or errors of any kind. Although i'm concerned since it shows up everytime i start/restart my PC. Sometimes just out of nowhere while i'm on my PC. I tracked down the Driver Update in the Device Manager which is the "Intel(R) Management Engine WMI Provider" within the "Software components". The Driver Version in the Device Manager matches with the Driver Version mentioned in the Reliability Monitor. ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/0684d6f3-e3e3-4240-a7e9-efc213451600?platform=QnA"https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/3d5cff74-6859-4643-a5a4-cb8aed3005c7?platform=QnA" rel="ugc nofollow">![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/3d5cff74-6859-4643-a5a4-cb8aed3005c7?platform=QnA

    Hi jay_959

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The event viewer can be a daunting experience, because all healthy Windows operating systems are constantly generating events and errors, and Windows is designed to overcome those events without the user even being aware a problem occurred, that is the way Windows is designed.

    Microsoft indicate you can and should ignore those errors, and seeing as your system is not experiencing any problems, there is no need for further action.

    If you were experiencing problems with your Windows installation, you can, if you wish roll back that driver, or download the recommended version form the chipset section on the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website, but in your case there is no need to do that.

    Hi DaveM121,

    Thank you for your quick reply!

    I have seen this exact response on multiple forums. I apologize if i seem skeptical about your reply but are you sure that i shouldn't be worried? I haven't had this Warning since i bought this PC in January 2021.

    Thanks again!
