Windows 10: System Idle Process High CPU Usage

I had a Windows 7 Professional and then thought about upgrading to Windows 10 since Windows 7 is coming to end. When I upgraded to Windows 10 i got a random Blue Screen. My PC restarted i opened Task Manager and there it is 100% CPU Usage non-stop. Its really annoying i read the same problem of some guy on this kinda forum, and followed his steps. None of them worked and i'm really annoyed by Windows 10. This never happened on Windows 7 and i'm really hoping there is a way to fix this.

My PC:

CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 3,10GHz

RAM:12GB4x3

Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5

HDD:1TB



I found out that System Idle Process is taking too much CPU how can I fix this?


Waiting for help.

System Idle Process CPU Allocation?

Hi,

I am Sumit, an Independent advisor and a Microsoft MVP here to help.

System Idle Process, as the name suggests is a process that indicates CPU is idle and is not being used, aka is at rest. This is done to totalize CPU usage to 100 between the processes.

So you do not have to worry about anything.

 

system process high cpu usage

Hello,

To fix high CPU usage issue, please refer these steps:

Try to identify the process creating this issue.

Download Process Explorer from Microsoft:

Process Explorer - Windows Sysinternals

Run the tool then select the system process, right-click and select Properties.

Switch to the Threads tab. This will show which file is using the excessive CPU usage, from which you can then attempt to diagnose it.

High Idle CPU Usage System Interrupts

I know EVERYONE asks "wait, what is this process, how come I'm idling with high CPU usage?!" but I have exhausted all internet solutions I can find here, and I work in IT.

My server at home is an old Lenovo E32 with an i5 4590S, 12GB of DDR3 1600, an EVGA 500W G3 PSU, a GTX 1060 and a decent bit o storage crammed in (2x3tb drives, 1x8TB
drive, a 256GB boot SSD and a 1TB game storage SSD.

It functions as a remote fileserver, Parsec game streaming PC, Plex server and Minecraft server.

Yet lately when I remote in I have noticed that my overall CPU usage is sitting at about 30%, yet I am doing nothing on the system. I know the 4590S isn't that fast, but I don't know what is going on. The
only process consuming any CPU usage is System Interrupts, sitting pretty at about 22%. I ran a recommended latency testing tool and it seems like DirectX is the thing causing all the interrupts. Is this normal? I have never seen idle CPU usage like this out
of a healthy system under no load.

Thanks!
