Create a Password Protected PDF

I've been having a huge number of issues with sending secure files. Some institutions only accept protected PDFs.

This link show that it is actually really simple to do this in Microsoft Word 2013 or later. This really saved me since I don't have Adobe Acrobat and I could not find any docs on if it could be done in foxit reader

WMI Provider Host CPU Usage High with Windows 10 Installation

I just upgraded a computer to Windows 10 and I get WMI Provider Host running between 15-25% CPU Utilization.

I fixed this issue by following this thread

The bottom line is:
  1. Open Event Viewer from "Windows + X"
  2. Applications and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows > WMI Activity
  3. Look for ClientProcessID in the Error Report
  4. Find the process with the matching process ID under Task Manager > Services
  5. Remove it
In my case it was "HP Wireless Support Assistant" and "HP Software Framework Service"
