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"
