It seems that wmic is no longer installed by default from windows-2025(which is being fetched when used windows-latest).

yes that is correct. Can we ignore it? Can we do this some other way of auto-detecting without using wmic?

I tried to use windows 2022 in this closed PR, but it did not solve the problem.

Yes Tanvi, I think we could turn off the windows run for now and raise an issue to keep track of it. Once we find a fix, we could turn it back on.

Or perhaps have some sort of a warning after evaluating absence of wmic - prompting users to install it manually - for the time being? Not sure if that's the kind of workflow we expect from users - just a thought!

I have removed wmic with a powershell command. It is used only in the detect-cpu script.
