System Service details for 969d5a219d761452dd636ce528b310d8

Registry Key

winmgmt

Display Name

Windows Management Instrumentation

Description

Provides a common interface and object model to access management information about operating system, devices, applications and services. If this service is stopped, most Windows-based software will not function properly. BlackViper.com adds: With Service Pack 1a, this service was not really required. However, after the installation of Service Pack 2, IPv6 Helper Service, Security Center and Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing require this service. This service is also required if you want to see the Dependencies tab in service configuration. I do not recommend disabling this service as more applications may begin to use this in the future.
