"Provider Load Error" when deploying SharePoint 2010 solution

Occasionally, seemingly randomly, about once a week, I get the following error in the output window when trying to deploy or retract a SharePoint 2010 solution from visual studio 10:

Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': Provider load failure

I have seen suggestions that include:

  • iisreset
  • restart visual studio

And I personally did not get that to work; I am always forced to:

  • Restart the machine.

Any help is appreciated.

Just restart the WMI service on the machine. Worked for me.
