• [x ] I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)
• [x ] I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: 5232FBE1-3F49-4855-8E85-30DFC6CF4564/20181106152429

Expected behavior

low cpu when no container is runnig

Actual behavior

In Task manager: 30-30% CPU due to docker
Docker for windows Service: 18% CPU
WMI Provider Host: 14% CPU

"Quite Docker" and the CPU is back to 2-3%

Information

• Windows Version: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134
• Docker for Windows Version: 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a

WMI Provider logs the problem to EventViewer. After you start Docker Desktop open EventViewer (Windows+R, eventvwr), then in View Menu show Debug Protocols, then go to Microsoft->Windows->WMI Host. There you can find a lot of 5858 Events that show that Queryies are not closed properly by Docker.

Were you able to do anything about it ?

[qrzbrz]

No, sorry I am not a docker-developer, only a user. My solution was to install an Ubuntu partition for using docker. Anyway, Windows 10 will soon get a linux kernel.

I have the same problem on Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 1803
Docker Version 2.0.0.3 (31259), Build 8858db3.
Is there anything one can do to fix the cpu load issue?
see also #809

[vlad-saling]

Have the same issue. VMI Provider Host keeps consuming CPU even if Docker Desktop is turned off. So once I stop working with Docker I use a temporary workaround described @ https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/wmi-provider-host-high-cpu-usage-on-windows-10-solved/#3 . Do not have a fix for CPU consumption during work though :/

[nicolas-tg-ch]

the fix for the cpu consumption is described in #809 (disable dummy network adapters via settings -> network -> status -> change adapter options)

[vlad-saling]

@nicolas-tg-ch I've tried that before, no change. I only have 2 Hyper-V adapters there. I tried to disable only one or both of them, yet VMI Provider host consumed about the same amount of CPU regardless.
