CDXML Definition

You can turn this WMI class and its methods into PowerShell cmdlets by importing below CDXML file (Cmdlet Definition XML) as a module.

Create StdRegProv.cdxml 
$folder = "c:\wmi\StdRegProv"
$cdxmlPath = Join-Path -Path $folder -ChildPath "StdRegProv.cdxml"

# create folder if not present:
$exists = Test-Path -Path $folder
if (!$exists) { $null = New-Item -Path $folder -ItemType Directory }

# write file
$content = @'

See here for more information on CDXML and CDXML-based PowerShell modules.

Requirements

To use StdRegProv, the following requirements apply:

PowerShell

Get-CimInstance was introduced with PowerShell Version 3.0, which in turn was introduced on clients with Windows 8 and on servers with Windows Server 2012.

If necessary, update Windows PowerShell to Windows PowerShell 5.1, or install PowerShell 7 side-by-side.

Operating System

StdRegProv was introduced on clients with Windows Vista and on servers with Windows Server 2008.

Namespace

StdRegProv lives in the namespace root/default, root/cimv2. This is not the default namespace. Use parameter -Namespace root/default, root/cimv2 with all CIM cmdlets..

Implementation

StdRegProv is implemented in Stdprov.dll and defined in RegEvent.mof. Both files are located in the folder C:\Windows\system32\wbem:

explorer $env:windir\system32\wbem
notepad $env:windir\system32\wbem\RegEvent.mof
