If anyone needs it - this is the only solution that worked for me: Resetting the WMI Repository:
1. Press **Windows+Q** and type **cmd** into the search bar that pops up.
2. Right-click on **Command Prompt** and select **Run as Administrator**
3. Type **net stop winmgmt** into the command prompt and press enter.
4. When prompted if you wish to continue, type **Y** and press enter.
5. Type **winmgmt /resetrepository** into the command prompt and press enter.
6. Restart your computer to pick up the changes
