ok, this is not helpful. Try this. Install the WPT (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx), copy this text into a new .cmd file and run the cmd from a command prompt with amdin rights for 60s:

/////////////////////
Xperf -on PROC_THREAD+LOADER+PROFILE+INTERRUPT+DPC+DISPATCHER -stackwalk profile -BufferSize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular -f Kernel.etl
xperf -start WMILogger -on WMI_Tracing:0xffffffffffffffff:0xff:'stack' -BufferSize 1024 -f WMI.etl

echo wait 60s to capture enough of the high  WmiPrvSE CPU usage

pause

Xperf -stop
Xperf -stop WMILogger
Xperf -merge WMI.etl kernel.etl WMItracing.etl

del WMI.etl
del kernel.etl

compress the WMItracing.etl as 7z and upload it to your skydrive, dropbox and send me a link via PM.
