    Very slow performance - no programs running - System Interrupts using high CPU


    I am running a Huawei Matebook X Pro, Windows 10.The comptuer has started to run slow, for now apparent reason. It is particularly bad when Teams is running. I have disabled GPU in Teams. While nothing is running System Interrupts often uses 17% CPU.It struggles a lot to run Teams at all. Teams has been reinstalled, and deletion of all caches advised elsewhere has been tried.I have installed DPC Latency Checker which shows it's consistenly running at high latency, even with nothing running.Dropbox, Onedrive etc are all closed. No programs running. I have attempted to disable device drivers in

    High CPU usage by "System interrupts"

    I have DELL INSPIRON 15 5570 i7 8th generation, OS is installed in 128GB SSD drive. My CPU usage is very high. I opened task manager to see which process is using more CPU and found that " System interrupts" is using more that 80% of my CPU , thus slowing
    the system. I have windows 10 1903 installed with all latest drivers. Most of the program and apps opens slowly because of all of my CPU is used my system interrupts. What should I do to fox this problem?

    High CPU usage when idle - System and System interrupts

    I've been trying to find a solution for a while and decided to ask here for more help. I've noticed that my CPU usage is pretty high when idle, even after a cold reboot of the computer:

    Task Manager View showing "System" and "System interrupts" causing a high CPU load:

    I've tried to dig deeper and used Processor Explorer to get more information, which, strangely enough, shows that "System interrupts" uses up more % of the CPU than the "System" process:

    Process Explorer showing that "Interrupts" is taking up 20% of the CPU load:

    Next I've tried to narrow down the causes of the interrupts by using the Windows Performance Recorder and analyze the graph using the Windows Performance Analyzer (can't post the screenshot due to not having enough rep, but it looks like hal.dll is causing the most interrupts, but less than the 20% seen with Process Explorer)

    Any suggestions how to proceed?

    Information about my computer:

    • Windows 10
    • Intel Core i5-4790k
    • AMD R390 GPU
    • 8 GB Ram

    I've updated the GPU and sound drivers and Windows is up to date.

    System Interrupt High CPU Usage

    Outdated drivers is one of the possible reasons why you're having issues with System Interrupt usage. To further isolate your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot by following the steps indicated on this
    link. This is to for us to know if the issue is caused by one of the Windows applications or a third party
    program.

    Let us know how it goes.
