WMI PROVIDER HOST

So I had excessive CPU usage by WMI Provider Host.   I turned off WMI provider host service to see what software came back giving errors.  The only errors were from Waves Central.  Any ideas?

    These things are part of my ongoing issues with Waves.

    Why can't the plugin JUST be a plugin?  Why does it need
    a "Shell"?  Why does it need a WMI host?  Why all the 
    excess baggage for plugins?

    YMMV

    because Waves wants to know how you are using their plugins and if the music isn't good enough they can disable them or crash your computer because Chris Lord-Alge doesn't want his name associated with some bad music from hicksville USA and...

    Gee, that was fun. Now I can understand some of the posts I see better.
     
    Honest answer, I'll bet Waves isn't really using WMI data. They likely purchased a framework to build Waves Central in that also contains WMI interfaces.
