What is it and why is it taking up so much CPU?

Check for malware if it's taking up a ridiculously high amount of CPU. Other people reported that Conduit Search causes WMI Provider host to use 80+% CPU

Name comes from anagramed sticker for "TUF Inside" (A sticker that came with my original ASUS motherboard)

How much of the CPU is WMI taking up?

Around 20 to 40%

Maybe look through services to see what's running, scheduled tasks, registry etc. That's definitely not right, but on a clean installation of Windows I'm not really sure. If nothing looks wrong try reinstalling windows :/
