Windows app triggers repeated WMI-Activity 5858 errors on launch #36286

Description

Summary

On Windows, launching the Codex desktop app immediately triggers repeated Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity Event ID 5858 entries.

Observed details

  • Operation: IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnum - root\\cimv2 : Win32_Process
  • ResultCode: 0x80041032 (WBEM_E_CALL_CANCELLED)
  • The events repeat while Codex is running.
  • Closing Codex makes the WMI errors and the related system slowdown stop immediately.
  • After closing Codex, normal use returns.
  • The app reports no available update in the current update check.
  • On the affected system, process/event inspection commands also become unresponsive while Codex is open, so the client PID could not be reliably mapped.

Expected behavior

Codex should not repeatedly cancel or overload Win32_Process WMI enumeration during startup or normal operation.

Environment

  • Windows desktop app
  • Exact app version: unavailable because the app reports no update and version inspection becomes unresponsive during reproduction

No personal identifiers or screenshots are included in this report. Please advise which diagnostic logs or version details are needed to reproduce and diagnose this Windows-specific WMI issue.
