Hello @gpgp13:

Your attached mbst-grab archive is invaluable.

Due to that system's difficulty starting the Winmgmt service, coupled with the need for moderate system clean-up, a request has been made to Malwarebytes forum management to move your topic to the Windows Malware Removal Help & Support sub-forum.

Thank you.

Hi @1PW, there's no indication of malware at play here, so I believe the topic can remain here for now.

@gpgp13: I see you have System Mechanic installed. We often find this program in particular is the cause of issues with the WinMgmt service. Please consider (temporarily) uninstalling System Mechanic and rebooting the computer. Afterwards, please check if there's any change. If there's not, please rerun the Malwarebytes Support Tool -> click Advanced -> click Gather Logs -> attach the new msbt-grab-results.zip file found on your Desktop.
