WMI reports an error 2 times / second

Hello,

I have a brand new (less than 3 weeks) G7 with Windows 10 Pro. I noticed that every few minutes, the fan starts at moderate speed and stops after a few seconds. I checked the CPU and saw that each time, WMI Provider Host goes to 25% more or less, then stops. I ran the Event Viewer and found in the Microsoft / Windows / WMI-Activity / Operational that the log was full of identical errors mentioning AWCC and ClientProcessID = 15304 (on my system, obviously), at the rate of 2 errors / second. Process Explorer told me that process 15304 was OCControl.Service.exe. These errors may be the cause of the CPU peaks, although I can't see the relation with the raises and falls of CPU activity, or they simply be a very dense forest of small issues hiding the real problem. Anyhow, I'd like to get rid of them.

I could reinstall Alienware OC Controls or I could simply get rid of them. I don't plan to use a very demanding game anytime soon, my kind of games are walking simulators. So what do other users think? What would I lose by uninstalling Alienware OC Controls?

And if removing them would not be a good idea, what is the best way to reinstall them correctly?
