Research direction

Start by reproducing the warning with Get-SqlInstance and Invoke-SqlAssessment against the default localhost instance, then investigate the WMI access requirements for the skipped checks. Done should mean identifying the cause of the WMI skips and documenting a verified resolution or the exact missing prerequisites.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Default instance. Execution policy is unrestricted.

$serverInstance = Get-SqlInstance -ServerInstance 'localhost'
Invoke-SqlAssessment $serverInstance

WARNING: Checks 'AgentSvcStoped', 'BrowserSvcStoped', 'DiskFragmentationAnalysis', and 7 more have been skipped because they need access to WMI

I get the Warning message.
Could you reply how to resolve above warnings?

With regards!
