If you see “Required Files Are Not Trusted,” restart your PC. If it keeps happening, turn off Secure Boot in BIOS, run sfc /scannow in Command Prompt, and check your date and time. Install any Windows updates. If it still doesn’t work, use a USB installer or check for bad drivers.
If WMI Provider Host is using too much CPU, restart it in services.msc. Check Event Viewer for errors under WMI-Activity > Operational, find the PID, and match it in Task Manager to see which app is causing it. Update or remove that app. Run a malware scan and restart your PC.
Hi,
I’m facing a similar issue and have already tried all the suggested steps. However, my main concern is that I can’t find the PID in Task Manager, so I’m not able to identify which application is causing the error. Could you please suggest any other solution to help me diagnose or fix the problem?
If your Mac desktop feels overwhelmingly cluttered, there are several simple ways to restore order and keep things tidy. Start by using the Stacks feature, which automatically organizes your desktop files into neat groups based on type, date, or tags—just right-click on the desktop and select “Use Stacks.”
Could these steps cause data loss, or is it safe to proceed without backing up the system first?
Sometimes deleted files aren’t actually erased but hidden. You can try:
sudo find / -name “*.jpg” 2>/dev/null
Or, you can check your iCloud backup.
Same thing will work on mac too?????
My pictures were gone from my mac ;(. I was such a foolish to not use the Time machine for updates.
Dude, check for any malicious apps. Sometimes rogue apps or leftover junk from tools like CleanMyMac or others can cause problems.
Try Malwarebytes for Mac for a free scan. Pro Tip: Keep Time Machine backups up to date.
That’s a good suggestion BTW.
Go to System Settings > General > Login Items (or System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items on older macOS) and remove any unnecessary apps that start when you log in.
If possible, Free Up some Disk Space, as this is essential for performance, stability, and smooth operation.
Sometimes, the issue is caused by temporary iCloud server delays, so waiting a bit can help. If it’s stuck for hours, try restarting your device and initiating the restore again. Also, Go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and check if the backup is available and intact. If nothing works, you can set up the iPhone as new and use third-party iPhone data recovery tools to extract and recover lost data.
These steps are generally safe and do not cause data loss because they only repair boot files, not personal data. Commands like bootrec, bcdboot, and assigning a drive letter to the EFI partition are low-risk when used correctly.
However, mistakes like selecting the wrong partition, using the wrong drive letter, or accidentally formatting a partition can lead to problems.
To stay safe, it’s a good idea to back up any important files beforehand and double-check partition details in diskpart before running any commands.
Here are some additional steps you can try to fix the BSoD issues. Use System Restore to go back to a point before the update if available. Run a memory test using mdsched.exe and check your hard drive with chkdsk C: /f /r. Turn off Fast Startup in the Power Options settings. These steps can help fix or pinpoint the cause of the blue screen errors.
Have you already updated your Intel and other device drivers and run the DISM and SFC scans? Also, did the intelppm.sys Blue Screen start immediately after a particular Windows update or driver change?
If you see “TPM has malfunctioned,” restart your PC first. If it keeps showing, go to BIOS settings, clear or reset the TPM, and make sure TPM is enabled.
Update your BIOS and TPM driver, and install Windows updates. If the problem stays, the TPM hardware might be bad and need fixing.
