system idle process high CPU

Hi,

My computer is running ridiculously slow, and the system idle process is at
90 CPU.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks,
Sarah

This is not a problem. The system idle process should be using all the
available CPU time when there is nothing else to do: that is what it is
desgned to do.

If your system is running slowly, there must be a different reason for it.
And this is not the best forum in which to be seeking advice.

System idle at 90% means something is using 10% and the rest is free.
How is the system memory usage?
