I will try this the delete my documents thing
edit: didn't seem to work that well
Can you partition your main drive for 120GB+ and install a copy of whatever version of Windows you have available to you. Setup an admin account, install required drivers and most importantly install Origin and Battlefield 1. I know this is a pain in the a$$ but this will give you a better idea of what program/driver/service is causing your CPU to sit on 100%.
If you do this, you could install programs one by one testing Battlefield 1 every time to see what's causing your issue.
A fresh version of Windows will help you isolate the issue and installing your programs one by one will be a process of elimination.
Consider that the game runs very well at the moment (for an unknown reason), and that I really don't think that would work I won't do that, I'm sorry.
When looking at what takes up CPU usage during a laggy session it is like 95-98% BF1, 2% taskmanager, 1% system, 1% something else important etc. I really am starting to feel like it is the code in the game that is causing this for so many people. I bet most people just think their overall PC is too weak and therefore don't complain, so there's probably a lot more with this problem then there appears to be. I really just think DICE should take a look at this issue that is plaguing some i5 users.
And it is just too much of a pain in the azz indeed.
Update: Today monte grappa made my CPU go nuts and made me fps drop, then I restarted BF1 and origin and it seemed to fix it. The theory that origin might give some people bad "ports" or something and that a restart sometimes helps is starting to to seem more likely.
I just ordered an i7 7700K. I suppose you could call this forum solved.
