How to solve "WmiApRpl failed with error code device is not ready"

I am consistently having every game crash after a couple minutes and the only error I see in the event viewer is labelled as Event 1008 Perflib: "The Open procedure for service "WmiApRpl" in DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiaprpl.dll" failed with error code The device is not ready.. Performance data for this service will not be available."

I've tried most, if not all, the quick fixes I've seen related to this error code. Some of these include, running a system scan through the command prompt (no errors detected), booting computer in safe mode, factory resetting my pc, turning off game mode and hardware accelerated GPU scheduling, rolling back Windows updates and graphics drivers (updated once found no fix), and uninstalling and reinstalling the games. All with no change. Please note, I had the same issue a month ago and it magically went away for a while.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spent way too much time and money trying to fix this. Thanks!
