System Idle Process What is it ?

When you view Task Manager Processes and you click the letter “C” on the top bar invariably System Idle will be the one using the most CPU

However it is only in Microsoft’s Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003.

This is a process which runs on each CPU in your PC/Server and it’s sole purpose is to total up the amount of time when the processor is not doing anything.

In Task Manager (Task List) this process usually accounts for the majority of processor time.

My Recommendation : ‐

This is an integral part of the operating system, Leave It Alone.

However now you are not wondering what it is, and that has to be work including in this Edition.
