So my brother recently found out how to view running processes on my computer remotely and I need to figure out how to prevent him from doing such. I can find out the program he's using but any suggestions help. I think windows management instrumentation (WMI) has something to do with it so would disabling that help/be safe??
post screencap of all your running processes. I'll help you point it out.

you could try disabling remote connections
if it says "remote desktop" or "remote access", disable it
do not kill WMI
Why can't I kill WMI?

you can....you can also try to delete system32
just because you can do something doesn't mean you should; I'm quite sure that's not what's enabling someone to remotely access your system

Because since Windows 2000, WMI has been responsible for making Windows work.
Windows wants to change something on Windows, it invokes WMI to do it.
I guarantee you, if you delete WMI, Windows will still boot, but *everything will be broken*.
Assuming you've not had your Windows pwnt, you need to change all your passwords.
Makes sense, now I feel like a dumbass. My plan is to switch my windows account completely and continue to snuff out any programs running in the background and check any outgoing connections

If it's your computer, remove any accounts that aren't yours. You can't invoke RPC on any random Windows machine; you have to have a valid account.
If anyone is accessing your machine, they're doing so with an account your machine recognises as valid.
If it's not your machine, stop fucking with it.
It's mine, I think he has my account username and password and maybe that's how he's getting remote access. So would changing the account help?
I found the damn thing, it was business spyware called activetrak. It was a bitch to uninstall but I'm hopefully in the clear
