Alternative to WMIC: PowerShell Get-CimInstance
KB5120998 in the Windows 11 Release Preview channel removes the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) utility from Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2. With this update, WMIC is gone from those builds, and you cannot add it back. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the service that exposes hardware and operating system data, remains in Windows. Microsoft's documented replacement for typical wmic queries is the PowerShell cmdlet Get-CimInstance.
