    Windows System Idle Process is high

    Question:

    My Windows System Idle Process is high.

    Answer:
    When opening Windows Task Manager you may notice that the "System Idle Process" is high and be concerned about something using your system resources. When a computer or a processor within the computer is idle it will have a high System Idle process in the CPU column, often in the 50's to 90's. This is completely normal for a computer as it waits for something to do.

    Additional information:

    Honestly, from what I read on other forums, u people are absolutely right. However, the strange thing is that my SIP never used to use so much of my CPU. I admit that I tinkered with my PC a bit, so I'll have to solve that on my own. My point is that my SIP NEVER used to have such a high process. I used to be able to have my PC sit with task manager open and my CPU percentage would be 0%.
