4.6 WinMgnt.exe has caused an Error
SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you may receive the following error message:
Winmgmt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart
the program. An error log is being created.
The error message appears approximately every 30 seconds.
CAUSE
This behaviour can occur if files in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder
become corrupted. The error message appears repeatedly because Winmgmt.exe polls the
files every 30 to 60 seconds.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behaviour, delete and then re-create the files in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder:
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
Under Services and Applications, click Services, and then turn off and stop the Windows
Management Instrumentation service.
Delete all of the files that are in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder.
(Make a backup copy before you delete the files.)
Open Services and Applications, click Services, and then turn on and start the Windows
Management Instrumentation service. The files are recreated when the service restarts
based on the information provided in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Autorecover MOFs
NOTE: Some programs will not add their Managed Object Format (MOF) files to this list, in
this case, rebuilding the WMI database may cause those programs to generate errors or fail
and may require more troubleshooting of their specific WMI requirements.
