"WMI Provider Host" progress occupy so mush cpu in windows platform

[moriyalb]

when I use pidusage in node(10.1.0), i found that "WMI Provider Host" progress is cost so much cpu resources, and my computer is slowly sometimes I need to reboot it.

Do anyone know how to fix this?
the use of pidusage is in a setInterval callback each second.

I wish! we tried a lot of things to improve windows retrieval of cpu/memory usage (see issues #19 #32 ).

sometimes I need to reboot it.

You should be able to restart the service called "Windows Management Instrumentation service" instead from Services.msc.

Please do check the "Event Viewer" and the logs inside WMI-Activity maybe that there are some errors?

Thank you. I don't really use it on Windows platform. now my code just like

if (os.platform == "windows")
setInterval(pid_checking, 100000)
else
setInterval(pid_checking, 10000)

and now it works well.
