Because of the Idle Process function, it may seem to users that the process is monopolizing resources (CPU time, Memory etc). However, System Idle Process doesn’t use up system resources even when it is running at high percentages (99 or 100%). The “CPU Usage” is usually a measure of how much CPU time is not being used by other processes. In some versions of windows, this was used to implement power saving and in later versions, it was used to call routines in Hardware Abstraction Layer to reduce CPU clock speed. Still despite all the functions, if you are experiencing problems due to the process, we can still go on with the troubleshooting. For some users, their computer was comparatively slow although this shouldn’t be a case.
Solution 1: Disabling Startup Processes
Now you should enable these processes in a chunk and check if your PC is still slow. If it isn’t, you can enable another chunk and check again. This way you will be able to diagnose which process is giving the problem and then troubleshoot it accordingly.
Solution 2: Checking Drivers for problem
It is possible that a specific driver is causing the problem. You can use the RATT utility to create event logs and check which driver is causing the problem. Once you have identified the driver which is causing the problem, you update the driver or disable it accordingly. Here is how to update the driver.
