    Click on the Start orb and type in the Search box:

    cmd [enter]

     

    You will see the link to the program appear above. Right-click on it and

    choose "Run as administrator". This will start the command prompt. At

    the prompt, type:

     

    net stop winmgmt [enter]

    cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]

    ren repository repository.old [enter]

    net start winmgmt [enter]

     

    It may take a minute or so to complete while WMI rebuilds the database.
