• The system idle process is always about 99%

  Hello

  I noticed that the system idle process in the Task Manager is still 99%. What is a natural process or that this indicates a virus in the background or something? I also noticed that my laptop runs slower than expected performance.

  I have Windows XP Pro installed in the laptop.

  Please someone with an answer to this question, the answer!

  Hey Taha,

  Your the system idle process will sometimes show high CPU usage, but this should not be for a long period of time. Windows XP runs its own maintenance tasks periodically (usually when the system is not busy), but these should appear as frequently or for a long period.

  I would recommend running a scan for spyware on your system to make sure that there is nothing of causing your slow performance.

  Hi Cathy,.

  Nothing to worry about. This means that 99% of your CPU capacity is available for other processes. Or in other words, the system idle process using 1% of CPU.

• Why the system idle process makes my desk fan light constantly

  Why the system idle process makes my desk fan light constantly

  The system idle process has nothing to do with your fan coming.  Your computer constantly monitors the temperature of your CPU and if this temperature is too hot, then the fans move on to high speed.  You can use the freeware 'CoreTemp' program to display the temperature of your CPU, if you want.  Temperature rises usually when the computer is under heavy CPU load but the usual cause of high speed switching fans is an accumulation of dust inside the computer and close the CPU fan.  Open your case and clean the dust.  A can of compressed air makes quick work of it.

• understand the system idle process

  The Task Manager process often indicates "System Idle process" in courses running almost continuously and the disc access light stays on for an extended period. What is going on? And why not a title like "System idle" are located in the help files or administrative tools/Services?

  'The system idle process' show the processors that you are not using. It will be hopefully always run and the more CPU, the better. Bruce Hagen ~ MS - MVP [Mail]

• Should the System Idle process percentage turn all the time in the order of 90%?

  The System Idle process percentage seems to run constantly in the order of 90% in the task Mgr it can not ends the process either, I read what is normal, or there are problems with registry, or has something to do with Norton Anti Virus so what is the right answer here?

  It's normal. It's just a percentage of time processor. If it was really low, it means that your processor is overworked all the time and would not be a good thing.

• How to end the system idle process

  How to end the system idle process
  ... "it is to consume my whole CPU.

  system:
  HP pavilion g4 series
  Intel core i5

  No it's not! Maybe someone else can give a better explanation, but the way I understand it is that when your system is idle, the system shows 100% idle process or nearby and it is because it has no applications or programs that run, but as soon as you open a program or run an application, and it requires CPU resources say between 1 and 4%, you will see the system idle drop in numbers, which shows the amount of the resources required by the program or open application.

  So I believe that everything that is, show processor resources available to a given point in time.

  Now, a virus can attack the process and change his behavior? I don't know, but if you suspect a malware attack, run complete scans of your system just to be sure.

  Good luck.

• Is it possible to see what is running in the system idle process?

  Too often, my laptop computer Windows 7 system slows down to a crawl. Lambasts the drive. And Windows 7 will be smart enough to know that things are bad, but not smart enough to know exactly which slows down things. It is simply asking if I want to use an interface that uses fewer resources.

  If I look at the screen in a program called Process Explorer, it is said that most of the cpu is used by a process called the system idle process. But you cannot stop this process. I need more information. What is past in the idle system process that slows down my system to a crawl, alarming even Windows 7 and stolen my hard drive - it's what I want to know.

  Anything that slows down your computer, it is not System Idle
  Process. "System idle process" is not at all no problem. Means "idle".

  There is Nothing to "remove, disable or close. "System Idle.
  Process' is not at all no problem. 'Rest' means not "in use." It's
  just the name for the system when it does not
  whatever it is. It is there just to make the total adding up to 100%.

  If you see reading of 70 to 99%, so that means you actually use
  only 1% to 30%. This is quite normal. Nothing to worry about.

• What is the system idle process, and do I need? Its killing me!

  Can I remove it. Can I repair this hungry beast. It gets running in background and everything grinds down to a slow crawl. I check the task mgr and at the bottom of the list is the beast. Using 98% on the list, but showing the use of 27% on the dialog box. XP running on the laptop Dell D610. I've seen other years download program to show which processes are working but I'm not sure what to do with this info. I'm not as well that I would that be.

  This leads me to drink!

  Thank you

  System Idle is 100% CPU capacity less any percentage is used. It is not the hungry beast, you think it is!

  Where the dialog box you mention?

• What is the "system idle process" and why it seems to freeze my Windows XP and show the 99% CPU usage?

  This problem sometimes occurs when my computer starts. Today, it happened and actually picked up my internet connection, which also won the update of Flash Player and Internet Explorer open. Also, I couldn't get the Start Menu to open. What is happening to the CPU is too busy doing something else? Is there a way to refresh the process or the CPU?

  Hi Hope_H,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  4. you receive an error message?

  Checking service or program uses high processor usage by using Task Manager.

  To view the CPU usage, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, click Task Manager, and then click the performance tab.

  Overview of the Task Manager

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/taskman_whats_there_w.mspx?mfr=true

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Use of the CPU 50% but System Idle process 98%

  Windows XP SP3 on an AMD x 2 processor.

  One of the nuclei seems to run at 90-100% depending on the Performance graph.  The status bar downstairs, explains the 50% CPU usage.  But when I look at a process it shows the system idle process 96-99%.

  Network traffic is negligible.

  Any suggestions on how to find out what each of my CPU would be appreciated

  Check with Sysinternals Process Explorer. I wonder if you will notice interruptions or DPC having a high amount of CPU usage (which the Task Manager will be assigned to the System Idle Process).

• Slow boots slowly; system freezes at random times; System Idle process running above 90 %s

  So I turn on my PC (Dell XPS 2 .8GHz w / Windows XP) and it takes 10-15 minutes before I can access my applications.  Also, at seemingly random times, the system hangs for 5-10 minutes while the HD running in the background.  The system idle process are running in the top 90 %s while the machine is frozen.  What is going on?

• Windows 7 suddenly slow and System Idle process CPU utilization a concern

  Almost overnight, my Sony Vaio with Windows 7 (bought in 2010) has worked incredibly slow.  I tried to update the computer with the automatic updates of Windows and the Service Pack 1 could not install many times.  So, I installed the system update readiness tool.  Then I tried to install the SP again and it worked (I was also able to install SP2 and other updates at this point).  But, these downloads and installations took longer than they should have and my computer continues to lag when I'm trying to do something.  Norton AntiVirus found no problem.  I've only used about 20 percent of the memory.  System Idle Process is using high CPU, even when I try to use other programs such as IE and Google Chrome.  The computer fans work diligently as if the computer tries to run, but everything is going so slow that the computer is almost useless.

  The computer is almost three years old, but did not have something else installed Norton because I bought the new computer.  It has been used daily for almost three years without problem.  I do a lot but check Windows Live Mail, and then type the documents in Word format - literally that's all; no other programs, games, etc.  However, I have an error code a few months back: 'Not authentic Windows, Build 7600.'  In response to the error, I got my product key and verified the program and to use new Windows 7.
  Anyone know why the system idle process continues to consume so much CPU even when I try to open a web browser?  Even when the computer is inactive, the fans are running full speed and the computer becomes warm to the touch.  It seems that no matter what the computer is doing, it is lagging behind and struggling.  Even if I just want to open the start menu, it takes a few seconds for the computer to respond.
  Thank you!

  It is not dust but the crapware that you must get rid.  The first suspect is Norton, which is a terrible software that slows down terribly computers.  Get rid of Norton and install Comodo Internet Security instead.  Make sure that when you get rid of the plague of Norton, you get the Norton Removal tool and run twice.  Also, make sure that manually enter you your folder program files and delete all Norton and Symantec files and use a program like Malwarebytes file Assassin to get rid of the persistent process who do not want to delete.

  Then use CCleaner (and ONLY CCleaner - do not download or install any other system cleaners or registry mechanic) for cleaning your system and use Revo Uninstaller to remove any extra crapware that is installed on your machine.  Be sure to remove any software from Apple and get rid of all Windows Live software.

  Finally, you'll want to disable several Windows processes that eat up RAM unnecessarily.  These include Sync Windows, Windows Defender and Windows Action Center.

  Follow all the advice and you should find that your computer is running a lot faster.
