probook 440 G3
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good afternoon. On the specified laptop probook 440 G3 after an indefinite loading time, the system begin "frizing". All attempts to find an answer in the Internet result did not. The system loads WMI Host provider from process 30% to 70% of CPU.
Perhaps someone came across and solved the problem?
