Unable to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition


I am unable to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition on Windows 10 Pro.

Below is the error which I keep getting even after troubleshooting steps that were taken by Google suggestions. Can somebody have a look and help me to proceed?

Error description: The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.
