If not in the office yet but I'm fairly sure that class is not needed for swm to work. As such i would turn it off.

Hi colleagues,
we have some User who tell us that WMI Process is causing high CPU usage for hours. It is annoying because CPU fan is running.
Investiagting this problems I found out on some that Hardware Inventory was running and stuck for hours at WMI Class SMS_InstalledExecutable.
It takes hours to complete.
I cannot turn of this class, because I read it is used for SoftwareMetering, and this I need.
I tried to temporarly disable all software metering rules, but the issue is still existing.
What can be the problem?
BR, David

The only prereqs for software metering are listed at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/monitor-app-usage-with-software-metering#prerequisites-for-software-metering

Here is an answer to your question that hopefully you find helpful!
Agree with what Garth and Jason said, this class identifies executable files associated with a software installation. For more details about SMS_InstalledExecutable, we may refer to this article: SMS_InstalledExecutable Client WMI ClassIn addition, we may try to close SMS_InstalledExecutable through the following ways: Config Manager Console / COMPLIANCE and ASSETS / ASSETS INTELIGENCE (right Click / EDIT INVENTORY CLASSES.).
We may refer to this article: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8403f791-9e59-4f04-a1d7-0eacb642e31a/config-manager-agent-after-hardware-inventory-high-cpu-usage-with-wmiprsve-and-very-fast-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
