[SOLVED] WMI Provider Host APPCRASH

That is really the only change that you made so I am not sure why they are not showing up again. Are you using dynamic or static ips on the computers?
 
I stopped to eat lunch and when I came back into the office all the computers were showing on the W10 so I ran the 320 MB transfer with the ethernet cable hooked up and it transferred all of it in a heartbeat, no hiccups or problems. So the problem lies with the wireless transfer.
On both W7 computers the IP is a static one, on the W10 computers, they are both set to obtain IP auto.
 
I've just been transferring (W10 accessing the W7 computer) a lot of huge files from pictures and music with the ethernet cable hooked up and all of the transfers were fast with no problems.
As to the other computers not showing up half the time, maybe it's just W10's networking capability's that have been going downhill ever since XP. There is definitely something wrong with the wireless on this Gigabyte MB (at least in my house).
 
Yeah the networking is an issue with Winsows 10 that seems to cause multiple issues.

The most likely issue is with your integrated wifi. THe only thing that is strange is why don’t you have problems when downloading large file online. I always use a and recommend a dedicated Wi-Fi card rather then use integrated Wi-Fi on these boards. That may be your next best option if using Ethernet is not a good option.

set it to optimized settings it may help some.

I checked the "Optimal" button and had to reboot. I assume that was what you meant by setting it to optimized.

So to recap this long thread,
1- I still have the "WMI Provider Host" crashes even though you said that it is running (in one of your earlier post's). I assume that it must restart and then crash again because there are a ton of the crashes every day in Reliability Monitor.
2- After the RMA and all the test's you had me run, there is no hope for the wireless on this MB.
3- The networking on W10 sucks a little bit more with each passing upgrade. According to all the changes that you had me make, it should be working fine but it is not. The computer list shows up sometimes and is completely gone the next, or the computers show up and cannot be accessed or sometimes they can be accessed, what a crapshoot.

BTW, I sure appreciate all the time and effort that you have put into trying to help me resolve these problems, fixable or not. Thank you
If you have anymore ideas on all this, I would sure like to hear them.
 
Yes, Optimal was the correct term.

1. Are these recent after the new install? Although these are really insignificant to most issues. You can try the following and see if it helps get rid of them.
open a admin CMD prompt.. type or copy/paste each of the commands to reset it.

net stop winmgmt /y
winmgmt /resetRepository
winmgmt /verifyrepository
net start winmgmt

2. I would agree at this point without being able to do more advanced testing. Wifi adapters are pretty reasonable and may be worth buying.

3. Yes, I agree. Mine never seems to be consistent. Below are few more suggestions you might try that may help with at least some of the connection issues.

I downloaded your manual and it looks like your router offers WPA2 AES mode. from manual "WPA2 gives you two encryption methods, TKIP and AES". I recommend changing it to WPA2 AES for best performance.

What is the IP of your Router and starting IP of DHCP server? I recommend setting similar as shown below

Router - 192.168.1.1
DHCP - 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.125.
Now assign your computer static IP's such as 192.168.1.10, 11, 12, 13

After setting static ips on all computers then add the IP and computer name to your hosts file such as following example:

192.168.1.10 computer1
192.168.1.11 computer2
etc

You are welcome for the help!
 
Well, so far a nice surprise on the networking. I booted up this W10 computer about an hour and a half ago with the ethernet cable plugged in and the network has been rock solid the whole time. It really makes me wonder what the He!! is up with the wireless on this board.
There is something inherently wrong with this Intel wireless AC 9260 OR Gigabytes integration of it to this MB (even though they "say" they had excellent results with it). I'm beginning to wonder if they actually tested it at all, especially after seeing all the thermal paste remnants all over the MB on receipt.

"referring to WMI"
No, on the original install I had them also hence my original post, but after this clean install there are many more of the crashes. As long as it doesn't hurt anything, I guess I will just have to put up with that also, LOL. I haven't seen any definitive answers as to why it continues to happen.
 
Good to hear about your network at least. It is easy to get hung up on these error logs when we have issues but most of them are really are not relevant and worth investigating.

It is hard telling if it was tested. If it was it is tested, it was in a very controlled environment which is not like it will normally be used so may not be very useful. If ethernet is an option then stick with it and don't look back. Good luck and let us know if you need anything else.
 
So far, so good on the network, it pops right up as long as the ethernet is plugged in. I took it off the work bench this afternoon and put it in it's permanent spot and ran a Cat 5 cable to it and things seem to be working ok for now :thumbsup2:
If something changes, I'll be baack ( as Arnold said ).
Again thanks for your time.
 
This computer is starting to load up with "Crash Dumps". I noticed it yesterday when I ran CCleaner and there was 1 dump from 10/3/18 (yesterday) and this morning there are 2 more. Should I start worrying or just delete them?

Yes you can delete them. The runup.exe file seems to be related to some update tool that gigabyte offers so it may be crashing. I would recommend stopping it from running or remove if you can find it. I am not sure what the other one is for some system settings. These are Application crash dump files only used if need to help possibly troubleshoot application crashes, etc. if you use ccleaner make certain to never run the Registry clean up options. They are not needed and can cause a lot of harm.
 
Thanks
Yeah, the runup.exe I recognized as the App Center for Gigabyte which I installed so that I could get the @BIOS and sys. viewer apps. I don't have a clue as to how to turn off the phone home for it.
I went ahead and deleted all the dump files and will continue to do so as per your advice.
 
It looks like it can be Uninstalled via Programs and Features

Then delete the following folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gigabyte\AppCenter directory

Best option is to remove with RevoUninstaller to completely remove.

If you only want to turn off updates there is a setting in the Preferences of the app.
 
Bad news: I went 3 straight days without the WMI Provider Host errors but they came back the day before yesterday with a vengeance. :(
Good news: I found a backup solution for my "C" drive (NVME) that is an external USB enclosure. It's a USB 3.1 gen 2 "C" type but the computer wouldn't recognize anything when I plugged it into the front USB 3.1 "C" plug. So I just used it as a USB 3.0 "A" drive which worked fine.
"NVMe Enclosure PCIe M.2 2280 SSD Box,Type-C USB 3.1 NVME Solid State Hard Disk Case,HDD Enclosure"

Good to hear on the backup solution. Did you do anything different when the errors started? Provide the event logs as follows. I am down sick but will get on it as soon as I feel better.

1. Click on Start menu
2. Type in command
3. Right click on Command Prompt in list and select Run as Administrator
4. Copy and Paste the command into the command console
5. Upload these files eventlog fies file from your desktop


wevtutil qe System /c:20 /f:text > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\SystemEventlog.txt"&wevtutil qe Application /c:20 /f:text > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ApplicationEventlog.txt"
 
2 points of interest.
1- The Reliability Monitor shown above, all red X's are WMI crashes and it's showing the 3 days that I got no crashes.
2- The Application event log looks like it was from the clean install I did in Sept. and it shows that WMI started successfully.
