Okay, you need to stop the WMI service and then rename a specific repository file to old so it gets rebuilt.

Two ways.
Go to start / run and type services.msc and hit enter
Locate Windows Management Instrumentation service
Select it and double click to open its interface and click stop service

Go to tools => folder options => view
Select show hidden and system files
Uncheck hide known file extensions
Uncheck hide protected files
Apply

Locate the folder Windows\System32\wbem
Using windows explorer
Locate the folder inside named "Repository"
right click it and choose Rename
Rename it Repository.old

Go back to Services.msc and restart WMI




Alternative method
Go to start / run and type
cmd
hit enter
In the black box type
net stop winmgmt
hit enter
type
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
hit enter
type
ren repository repository.old
hit enter
type
net start winmgmt
hit enter


Be patient, it may take a couple minutes for windows to realize the repository is missing and then search the registry and rebuild it.
