STATUS_WMI_GUID_NOT_FOUND
The provider did not register the requested WMI GUID
Kernel WMI requests are routed to a registered provider and identify a data block or event set by GUID. This status means the target provider could not match the supplied GUID to the registration information it exposed. It is more specific than a missing WMI class in a repository: the failure can occur in the kernel provider path after a device object has registered with WMI.
Compare the request GUID with the provider's WMIREGGUID entries and the registration data returned for IRP_MN_REGINFO. A stale consumer, changed driver version, or request sent to the wrong device instance can all select a GUID the provider does not own.
What to inspect
- Record the GUID, provider device object, driver version, and WMI minor IRP.
- Inspect the provider registration data rather than guessing from the friendly class name.
- Re-enumerate provider metadata after a driver update before retrying the query.
