Hi all,
I continuously get an error saying that winmgmt.exe has created an error. Does anybody know what winmgmt.exe does and how I would fix this?

Per Microsoft Article #Q298130
This behavior can occur if files in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder become corrupted. The error message appears repeatedly because Winmgmt.exe polls the files every 30 to 60 seconds.
RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, delete and then re-create the files in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder:
1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage. 2. Under Services and Applications, click Services, and then turn off and stop the Windows Management Instrumentation service. 3. Delete all of the files that are in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder. (Make a backup copy before you delete the files.) 4. Open Services and Applications, click Services, and then turn on and start the Windows Management Instrumentation service. The files are recreated when the service restarts based on the information provided in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Autorecover MOFs
