Since Windows 11 (22H2 and later), the wmic (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line) tool has been deprecated and removed by Microsoft.
As a result, any call to wmic now fails with a "command not found" error on Windows 11 systems. This breaks scripts, tools, or features that rely on wmic to retrieve system, hardware, or OS information.
Recommended alternative
Microsoft recommends using PowerShell cmdlets based on CIM (Common Information Model), which are the modern and supported replacement for WMI command-line usage.
