Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands to
the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for the
services to shut down. Run the command again and reboot your system.
If the above doesn't work, do the following from an elevated cmd prompt:
net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]
Don't know the answer to your last question because it isn't clear to me.
Please define "does not work".
