This was also reported in the thread about GE using 20% CPU, but I thought the WMI-specific issue should be highlighted in its own thread. The problem was also reported in the Forerunner 945 forum. I had been trying to figure this out for a while until I saw that post. Sure enough, quitting out of GE made the high WMI CPU usage stop.
GE 6.19.3.0
Many thanks, I was crazy with the WMI provider host and this post made my day. Also, GE devs should check this behavior and fix it.
Issue still present after installing in GE 6.19.4.0
I turly hope this gets fixed ASAP.
(hollow) LOL. Garmin has a long list of critical bugs that often take years to fix and many that aren't ever fixed before the hardware goes into obsolescence…
For what it's worth: I observe exactly the same problem on my PC. Spikes are not that huge - usually sit within 10-15% - as per the below.
The gap shown in the above presents the period where Express has been shut down and removed from the task bar / notification area.

And that's what Process Monitor shows - it's running in circles with the same content on and on as far as I can tell.
This is both latest Garmin Express and Windows 10 1909 (with no funny tweaks applied to the latter).
