Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a built-in technology in Windows that provides a standardized way for computers and software to access and manage system information and operations. It enables administrators and programs to monitor hardware components, configure system settings, and automate tasks such as troubleshooting or updating software. Think of WMI as a universal language that allows different parts of a computer network to communicate, understand, and control Windows-based systems efficiently, making system management more streamlined and consistent.
