The System process can be viewed as a special kind of process that hosts threads that only run in kernel mode. Its related file name is ntoskrnl.exe and it is located in C:\Windows\System32\ folder. It is responsible for various system services such as hardware abstraction, process and memory management, etc.

At times, the System process may display a high disk or CPU usage for a few minutes. This is temporary and should not worry you. But if the same continues to persist frequently, you may need to take a look at a few things.

1] Update old drivers or roll back to the earlier update

2] Clear the Page file at shutdown

3] Don’t use a Power saver plan

4] Use SysInternals Process Explorer

5] Disable Idle task

6] Use Event Tracing for Windows to capture CPU sampling data

Timecodes:
0:00 Intro
0:23 Update all drivers
0:38 Clear Page file at shutdown
1:15 Use Balanced Power Plan
