ExTS Admin BetaTime Posted October 17, 2018 ExTS Admin Posted October 17, 2018 First off, this is not related to any problem. This is simply a question I had when I was sitting in my office taking a break. Also, before I ask, I understand the purpose behind the System Idle Process. I understand what it does, specifically that it runs HLT and complex power-saving threads when no other work is being done. My question is, what would happen to the CPU if the System Idle Process did not exist? I understand a CPU can never truly be idle (in the since of no threads moving on it) so what would happen if it ever did find itself without any threads, including idle threads? Just a curiosity, nothing more... Owner, Quilnet Solutions More... Quote Forum Squared | SEO Help Forum | Web Server Forum
