I just did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my Lenovo Lynx tablet.
I noticed today that the tablet gets very hot even when the screen is off. I looked at the Task Manager and saw that the CPU is constantly at 99% and a process called "System" is hovering around 70 to 75%. When I run Process Explorer, the two threads using the most CPU in that process are labeled "ntoskrnl.exe!EtwProviderEnabled+ox6e".
I have spent all day today searching the interwebs for a solution.
Here are the ones I've tried:
The only things I've installed besides Windows and all its updates are Office 2013 and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. The last solution I've found is to reinstall Windows which I'd rather not do because doing that on a tablet sucks in my opinion.
Thank you all for the help.

Here are the ones I've tried:
- Disable the scheduled task called "ConfigNotification" located in Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > WindowsBackup. That task doesn't exist.
- Updated every driver that I could. No change.
- Waited. Over 12 hours and no change.
- Disabled Windows Defender. No change.
- Disabled Windows Search Indexer. No change.
- Disabled/Uninstalled all network drivers. No change.
