If your Windows device is having issues reading from the Windows Management Interface (WMI) repository, you may need to re-sync the repository as a troubleshooting step. To perform a repair/re-sync of the WMI repository, please do the following:
For Windows XP and Windows 2000 Servers:
winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperfFor Windows 2003 Servers:
wmiadap.exe /c
wmiadap.exe /f
lodctr /RFor Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Servers:
winmgmt /salvagerepositoryTo perform a repair/re-sync of the Windows 10 WMI repository:
winmgmt /verifyrepositoryIf the repository is not corrupted, a “WMI Repository is consistent” message will be returned; if you get something else, go to step 3, otherwise if the repository is consistent, more troubleshooting will be required as the repository is not likely the problem.
Run the following commands to repair WMI:
winmgmt /salvagerepositoryIf the repository salvage fails to work, then run the following command to see if it resolves the issue:
winmgmt /resetrepositoryAfter the last command, there should be a “WMI Repository has been reset” message returned that verifies the command was successful.
To perform a rebuild of the WMI repository, please do the following:
cd C:\Windows\System32\wbem\
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %s
NOTE: This will take a minute or so to complete.
for /f %s in ('dir /b en-us\*.mfl') do mofcomp en-us\%sOpen Performance Monitor to verify that all counters can be loaded.
