W8.1 Freezing
Boggin:
From what I've found on that WMI error, that would seem to be the problem.
I've copied & pasted these steps from an article which has resolved that error.
Open a Command Prompt (Admin) and follow the steps to rebuild the WMI Repository and then check the results.
a. Disable and stop the WMI service.
sc config winmgmt start= disabled
net stop winmgmt
b. At a command prompt (cmd), change to the WBEM folder.
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
c. Rename the repository folder
rename repository repository.old
d. Re-enable the WMI service.
sc config winmgmt start= auto
e. Run the following command to manually recompile all of the default WMI .mof files and .mfl files
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
f. Reboot the system.
shutdown /r /t 00
You can copy & paste the long one to avoid any typos.
The Windows Repair program would probably have repaired this had it been able to run.
I would normally advise to create a restore point before executing complex cmds but in your case, that isn't possible.
If there's still a problem then the WMI may need resyncing which you can do with these two cmds -
regsvr32 wmisvc.dll
winmgmt /resyncperf
shutdown /r /t 00
and see what things are like after the reboot.
EDITED to split a cmd.

according to Lenovo (found with a search) this can happen when you do a system restore. The fix is to unprotect the missing version and delete it. I've never done it, but it makes sense.
mrwoof:
Ran the complete cmds, however:
e. Run the following command to manually recompile all of the default WMI .mof files and .mfl files
cd %windir%\system32\wbem for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
returned "File not found".
I repeated the full process and no change.

Boggin:
My error in joining up these cmds -
cd %windir%\system32\wbem for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
Which should have been split as -
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
But jpm has found a more precise solution for you to try.
mrwoof:
ran the full new improved cmds, sadly,the repair tool froze in safe mode., this time it got up to Repair Job 7 (previously never past 3) up to "Running Repair under user a/c.
In the cmd box last entries read:
Registering 340 files
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. this is repeated 5 times then all still.
Don't know if this detail means anything to you !!!
Looking for my prayer mat to enjoy jmp's input.
I'l run repair again meanwhile.
