The Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service, running under svchost, is consuming excessive memory on a Windows 2012 server, causing the server to become unresponsive. Could you please advise why the WinRM service is consuming more memory?

    Hello

    1. Isolate the svchost to its own svchost.

    Sc config winrm start= disabled

    Net stop winrm

    Sc config winrm type= own

    Sc config winrm start= auto

    Net start winrm

    1. Use the vmmap to check the memory usage.

    VMMap - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn

    1. Based on the memory usage then collect the log.

    The following link may be useful.

    WMI: High Memory Usage by WMI Service or Wmiprvse.exe - Microsoft Community Hub
