System Interrupts
System interrupts are an essential part of the Windows operating system that manage the communication between the computer hardware and the system. It is not a traditional process, but rather an aggregate placeholder used to display the system resources used by all the hardware interrupts happening on a PC. When a hardware interrupt occurs, the CPU suspends its current process, deals with the interrupt, and then resumes its previous process. The "System Interrupts" process is visible in the Task Manager and is representative of hardware interrupts on the PC. It is not a virus or disguised malware, but a vital component for the PCs performance. If the CPU usage of "System Interrupts" rises consistently, it may indicate a problem with a piece of hardware or its associated driver. There are various fixes for high CPU usage caused by System interrupts, such as updating hardware drivers, disabling internal devices, and checking USB root hubs.
In summary, System interrupts are a crucial part of the Windows operating system that manage hardware interrupts and play a vital role in the overall performance of a computer system.
