I am trying to fix a computer that is running extremely slow. The computer runs on Windows 8 and is less than a year old, but the slowness would have you thinking it's more like ten years old. Avast detects nothing malicious, and there are no suspicious programs enabled in the start-up list. However, there is a process called WMI Provider Host that is ALWAYS using at least 15% - 20% of the CPU. Does anyone know why this might be and what I can do about it?
