You can think of it as a simple placeholder. If programs are using 5 of your CPU, the System Idle Process will be using 95 of your CPU.
When I try to open windows explorer, my computer, control panel, or any other program. If a user closes all their applications and then disconnects their session - Explorer. In other words, the CPU resources used by the System Idle Process are just the CPU resources that aren’t being used. We have noticed Windows Explorer using high CPU utilization. The Dropbox folder on your computer in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) The Dropbox. Internet Explorer (12% CPU), Outlook 2013 (0%), Excel 2013 (0%), Explorer (46%), Webroot (0%) + usual default services.Įven with the user away from their desk the CPU stays the same. Dropbox has unexpectedly high CPU, memory, or RAM usage. The user with the highest CPU usage only has the following Applications running: User1 (explorer is using 43% consistently) It only has a few users but is running very slow. The problem lies with the Server 2012R2 guest (2 x CPU, 8Gb RAM)
There are 10 guests in total (mostly 2008R2) and they have modest resource allocations (not over-commited).
After restarting Windows Explorer, the problem should be completely. I have a Windows 2012R2 virtual server running RDS on HP Proliant-D元60G7 (2 x Xeon X5650 & 64Gb RAM running ESXi 5.5.0). 2 Check the Task Manager if it still shows high-CPU usage due to the Sppsvc.
