WMI Errors in Application Log After Every Reboot

On some of our servers running Windows Server 2008 R2, we’ve noticed a specific event regarding WMI showing up in the Application event log after every reboot. When we reboot, we get the following:

Log Name:      Application
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-WMI
Date:          <Date>
Event ID:      10
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      <ServerName>
Description:
Event filter with query “SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA “Win32_Processor” AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99″ could not be reactivated in namespace “//./root/CIMV2” because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

According to Microsoft, this issue is normal and can be safely ignored. There is a fix available as well, which will remove the error from the event logs if needed. See the following article for more information:

Also, if you are running Vista or Windows Server 2008 with SP1, you may receive the same error, which can be fixed by running a script. Here’s the Microsoft KB article regarding that fix:
