Root Cause of the Error →
The error is typically triggered by one or more of the following conditions:
  1. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Services are not functioning correctly.
  2. Time zone or regional settings on the system are misconfigured.
  3. The required version of the Dot NET Framework is either not installed or is malfunctioning.

Solution →
Follow the steps below to diagnose and resolve the issue:

Verify and Restart WMI Services
  1. Go to 'Services'.
  2. Check if 'Windows Management Instrumentation' is running.
  3. If it's not running, set the 'Startup Type' to 'Automatic' and the 'Status' to 'Running'.
      
  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
  2. Type the command: net stop winmgmt and press Enter.
  3. If prompted with "Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [N]:", enter 'Y' and press Enter.
      
  1. Enter the command: winmgmt /resetrepository and press Enter.
      
By following these steps, you ensure that the necessary services are running and reset the Windows Management Instrumentation repository, potentially resolving the WMI Service issues.
