First thing to do is to update the XI Components.
To do that, go to the Admin > Manage Config Wizards menu.
Click on the Check for Updates button to update the list and install the Updates.

There has been some changes to Wizard and user macros so this may be fixes already in the latest version.

The latest version of the Windows SNMP Wizard is 1.5.6 for XI version 5.6.xx.
See if that fixes the issue.

Hello,
I am using the latest version of the nagiosxi which installed yesterday. So on checking there is no updated available.

I was able to recreate the issue and filed a bug fix for it.
For reference, here is the TASK ID 15146.

I do not have a time for when it is going to be fixed.
Just check to see if the wizard is updated in the XI interface and if you see an update, try that.
