Symptoms
When you do one of the following on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, the operation may take a long time to complete:
-
Start the computer
-
Log on to Windows
For example, the computer takes three or more minutes to start.
In the application event log, you may see the following events: Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI Event ID: 65 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: Classic Description: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Service is starting to restore the WMI repository Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI Event ID: 43 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: Classic Description: Windows Management Instrumentation ADAP failed to connect to namespace \\.\root\cimv2 with the following error 0x80080008 Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI Event ID: 5614 Task Category: None Level: Information Keywords: Classic Description: During the service startup, the Windows Management Instrumentation service was unable to locate the repository files. A new repository will be created based on the auto-recovery mechanism.Cause
This issue occurs because the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) component unnecessarily performs a full validation of the WMI repository. A full validation of the WMI repository is a time-consuming operation.
