Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) information can corrupt bug fixes
After you view the properties for local Area Connection and switch to the Advanced tab, you are prompted to: "Windows cannot display the properties of this connection." Windows Management Instrumentation (Windows Management Architecture Component WMI) information may be corrupted. To correct this problem, use System Restore to restore Windows to an earlier point in time ...
Workaround:
Here's how: Step one: Right-click My Computer, select the Manage menu, navigate to the Computer Management (local) → services and applications → services item, locate the "Windows Management instrumentation" Item in the right window, double-click Open, Click the Stop button in the pop-up window.
Second step: Go to the C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\Repository directory of the local disk, and after deleting all files in the directory, restart the computer. Once logged in, the system will re-create the required files in the directory and automatically start the WMI service that was just stopped.
Little hint.
This failure is caused by file corruption in the C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\Repository directory, and WMI calls the file under that directory every 30-60 seconds, so you receive the above error message. Another ripple effect that can be caused by this failure is that you cannot view the properties of the local Area connection, the system is unresponsive when you run the Msinfo32 (View system Information) command, and the system prompts when the Wmimgmt.msc command opens the WMI snap-in "Failed to connect to local Computer due to wmi:generic failure "error.
If it doesn't work or there's no WMI at all in the service:
Open Notepad, save the following code as *.bat (file name arbitrary, suffix name fixed) file, open run in safe mode.
The program code is as follows:
```
@echo on
CD/D C:\Temp
If not exist%windir%\System32\Wbem goto Tryinstall
CD/D%windir%\System32\Wbem
net stop WinMgmt
Winmgmt/kill
If exist Rep_bak Rd REP_BAK/S/q
Rename Repository Rep_bak
For%%i in (*.dll) do regsvr32-s%%i
For%%i in (*.exe) do call:fixsrv%%i
For%%i in (. MOF,. MFL) do mofcomp%%i
net start WinMgmt
Goto END
: Fixsrv
if/i (% 1) = = (Wbemcntl.exe) goto SKIPSRV
if/i (% 1) = = (Wbemtest.exe) goto SKIPSRV
if/i (% 1) = = (mofcomp.exe) goto SKIPSRV
%1/regserver
: Skipsrv
Goto END
: Tryinstall
If not exist Wmicore.exe goto END
wmicore/s
net start WinMgmt
: End
```
After running, the system begins to repair automatically, and after the repair is completed, the computer restarts and the problem is resolved.
