nope 1 year old and i was just updating intel graphics oem driver 

Happen to have a recent recovery point or image? If this only occurred after the updates(and no other OS tinkering, right?), it might as well be one of those. Try booting into Safe Mode with Networking. It should load the very minimum on the network side of things - if there are no problems, the new drivers are the problem.

Also, do you have the latest BIOS version?

I was just updating all the drivers and doing all the stuff but I saw high cpu usage in task manager and to my surprise it was WMI Provider Host using like 6 to 7 percent of my cpu which was unusual because it didn't reset to idle 0 to 1 percent cpu usage even after hours and in event log i saw that there was like mountain of errors and yes restarting the service does let it go away but until next boot  and i have verified the repository its consistant and yes i have also checked for corrupted files none was thereScreenshot2026-05-09161805.png.388192e4da893ddc985c7808ea6a9be8.png

There's also a win utility Procmon64 - you can track a process by ID or name, record from boot to the error(or match the time of the error with process history), see the process stack, and view what exactly happened step-by-step. 

But these are the exact problems you create restore points🤓 I think Win should create one automatically before installation of the drivers.

Safe Mode only loads basic Windows drivers, and won't load any 3rd party one's

Did you check, though? Control Panel->Security and Maintenance->Recovery?

i mean after exiting safe mode the issue is kind of gone somehow

Your newly installed drivers do load on regular boot, but not in safe mode. So it's one of those. Mb a chipset or network card driver?

its there but after the windows update it was created and for my graphics driver i use lenovo vantage or simply download from there official website

Manual uninstallation of non-essential devices from Device Manager, restart, and let W install its own. You can also try IObit Driver Booster(it's an official giveaway)

what to uninstall how will i know

Do you remember what drivers you installed? I'd suggest starting with Network Adapters and Software Components->everything Intel
But do run the Driver Booster first - it can spot problematic drivers/devices, and might as well refresh the driver updates
