wmiApSrv running and stopping. High usage of cpu increasing cpu temps.

Question

I need help to resolve this issue. I dont know for what reason this is happening but the wmiApSrv service is glitching out. I have checked if the third-party softwares are causing this by doing a clean boot but it didn't helped. I am tired of restarting the service or completely pausing it.

Hello
