what are system interrupts

System interrupts are a fundamental part of the Windows operating system, responsible for managing the communication between a computer's hardware and system. While it appears as a process in the Task Manager, it is not a traditional process, but rather an aggregate placeholder used to display the system resources used by all the hardware. System interrupts are essential for handling and reporting on hardware, and they cannot be disabled, as they are vital for a PC's performance. If the System interrupts process is consuming a high percentage of CPU power, it may indicate a hardware error, and potential solutions include restarting the computer, updating device drivers, and disabling sound enhancements or network adapters. System interrupts are also a way for a process to alert the kernel that an event has occurred, allowing the kernel to process the event and then return to the interrupted process
