    Please type the Service into the search on the taskbar and open the page.

    Scroll down the list until you see Windows management instrumentation service.

    Right-click on it and then click to restart the service.

    Select the services that show and then click on yes.

    If this does not work, try the following.

    Click on the Windows Key and the R key at the same time.

    Hi Cedric,

    My name is Cindy. I am sorry you are having this problem. I know it is really frustrating. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

    Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. We are users just like you who help others. We are not employees of Microsoft.

    The version of Windows 10 you are using is currently out of date. The first thing you should do is to update the computer. Many times this will fix problems such as you are having. There were some updates in the past that fixed this problem. So hopefully updating the computer will fix this problem.

    Type the word update in the search on the taskbar and open the page.

    Update the computer.

    On the same page click on additional or advanced updates. Update if needed.

    Please let me know if you continue to have problems after updating the computer.

    Best Wishes,

    Cindy
