|  System Idle Process
just a short one:
what is system idle process, and what does it do to deserve such a big CPU slot in Task manager? When nothing else is running it could go up to 90% CPU use. |

The processor always needs something to do. When their is nothing.... it processes the system idle process.

System IDLE Process.
MEans your system is IDLE and not in use. 
It is good that the number and percentage is high. Means your CPU is not being heavily tasked.
