I cannot understand why after all this time this problem still exists and has not been fixed.

Using Windows Repair Portable 4.5.5 I had occasion to carry out the standard repair yesterday and sure enough the registry value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Winmgmt's Image path has  been reset to netsvcs.

This disables WMI and Security Centre

Please adjust whatever repair module that alters this setting to set:
Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Winmgmt
Value Name: ImagePath
Value: %systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k winmgmt
 

See attached correct WMI Services screenshot after  netsvcs has been replaced with winmgmt.

Thank you very much

I'll pass this on to Shane - it may have slipped through the net as he was extremely busy then.

- You can change the content of the registry info yourself for the next time(s) you run WR.

- Change the content of that registry entry (think: Regedit). Export the content of the registry info that is under/in the subkeys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Winmgmt]  and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Winmgmt\Parameters]

under the name "winmgmt.reg" in the subfolder "XXXXX\files\regfiles\7". XXXXX is the folder in which you installed WR.

WARNING: Make a copy of the registry first. E.g. with  the Tweaking's Registry Backup program. (Also included in the WR package).

Willy2:
- When you open that "winmgmt.reg" with e.g. Notepad then you'll see the Original content. That info/data is copied into the registry by WR each time when a few repairs are run.

I've just ran the look up tool and on my Win 7x64 Home Premium it is showing as -k netswcs

I've run WR on that machine but can't remember if I restored with a system image afterwards.

However, Windows Update, WMI and the Security Centre are working fine.

On my Win 10 x64 Home where WR has never been run, it's showing as -k netswcs -p
