STATUS_WMI_TRY_AGAIN
The WMI provider returned a retryable result
This status is a provider-side indication that the current WMI operation could not complete yet. It should not be treated like an unknown GUID or unsupported operation. The provider has accepted enough of the request to decide that a later attempt can be meaningful.
Before retrying, preserve the WMI minor IRP, GUID, instance and elapsed time. A tight retry loop can amplify a device-start or state-transition problem. Use bounded backoff and stop retrying if the provider disappears, the device is removed, or a later call returns a permanent status.
What to inspect
- Distinguish the first retryable response from later permanent failures.
- Correlate retries with PnP, power, and provider registration events.
- Use bounded backoff and a maximum attempt or time budget.
