Why does Hyper-V virtualization depend on Windows Management Instrumentation?

0

In this experiment I disabled and deleted the Windows Management Instrumentation service in Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Do not try with your working PC. Here are the steps::

  • Set dependency to only Remote Procedure Call (RPCSS) with reg command

For Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service (vmms):: reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmms" /v "DependOnService" /t "REG_MULTI_SZ" /d "RPCSS" /f

For Security Center service (wscsvc):: reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc" /v "DependOnService" /t "REG_MULTI_SZ" /d "RPCSS" /f

  • Delete WMI service:: sc stop "Winmgmt" & sc delete "Winmgmt"

Then I restarted PC and the Hyper-V services show this error: Error 0x8007000e: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

disable_Winmgmt

Question: Why and how does the Hyper-V depend on WMI service?
