    Default Runaway wmiprvse.exe process with SB 1.6 and 1.5x

    Anyone else noticing that the Microsoft process, wmiprvse" runs away with 50 to 99 % CPU utilization when sdhelper or teatimer is running. I've encountered this problem on several dozen PCs. Once I disable the sdhelper and teatimer resident apps, and reboot, wmiprvse behaves itself. I did not encounter this problem with v1.4 or older, but it seems to have started with v 1.5x and continues with v 1.6.

    Is there a better solution to this than disabling the SB resident apps?

    Default Sdhelper vs SMS

    I have seen this issue too.

    Wmiprvse process maxes out the CPU.
    There is a SMS hotfix for the wmiprvse issue however I have seen some PCs that I have had to disable sdhelper in order for them to take the hotfix via SMS.
