Microsoft starts removing WMIC tool used by cybercriminals

Microsoft announced that it removed the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) tool from Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, as well as from Windows 11 beta builds released this week.

WMIC is a legacy built-in Windows command-line utility that helps interact with the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) system using text commands.

This move is part of a process announced in September, when the company said that WMIC will be removed after upgrading to Windows 11 25H2 and later.
