SQL Server Management Studio uses WMI to query for information about the status of the services.

If it’s a local machine, then make sure you are using “Run as administrator” option. and check if sure “Windows Management Instrumentation” service is running under services.msc on the server.

check that if the firewall is not blocking WMI communication. Now, Run WMI query to make sure we are able to query services. Below are the steps.

1. Start > Run > WBEMTest
2. Click on Connect and provide below (change Remote Machine Name and ComputerManagement based on SQL version.
\\{servername}\root\Microsoft\SQLServer\ComputerManagement13
3>Click Connect
4>Click on Query
5>Type Select * from SQLService and Apply. You should see the results.

If you have a problem with above that it's confirmed WMI issue.

Make sure that you are able to open SQL Server Configuration Manager, which uses WMI.
