I am running a command like ,,wmic process get ProcessId,CommandLine,Name/format:list,, its execution time varies from 2 to 14 sec on my system. A possible reason for this may be varying cpu and memory loads (please confirm) ,, I wanted to investigate it with WMI Diagnosis Tool ,, but it is no more available to dowmload from the link mentioned at the
link:https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-team/wmidiag-2-2-is-here/ba-p/375642 .

Also ,will wmic will be deprecated soon and will be succeeded by some Powershell commandlet ,, please share some info on this.

    Hi,

    The respone time getting long might also be casued by network issue. Please check below technet post for some suggestions.

    Monitoring via WMI - query needs a long time to get a result

    Below article mentioned that "The WMI command-line tool (Wmic) is deprecated. Use PowerShell cmdlets instead". You can use PowerShell command Get-WmiObject to get instances of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes or information about the available classes. And starting in PowerShell 3.0, this cmdlet has been superseded by Get-CimInstance
