There is a process on both of our servers on WinServ2008R2 that periodically loads it to the point of being impossible. Which is called "System inactivity". I've already read a couple of articles on this topic, don't be a fool. But something didn't help.

In fact, this is an indicator of how much processor time is free at the moment. Conventionally, all processor time is 100%, there are processes that are running at the moment - for example, they use 5% in total. Accordingly, 95% will be opposite System inactivity.

Guys, don't open this thread. You are young, playful, everything is easy for you. This is not it. It's not telemetry, and it's not even svchost.exe . It's better not to go here. Seriously, any of you will be sorry. Better close the Task Manager and forget that it exists. I fully understand that this message will cause additional interest, but I want to immediately warn the inquisitive - stop. The rest just won't be found.

Some viruses disguise themselves as system processes.
Apparently under the guise of "inaction", they mine some coins for the attackers.
You need to contact the security experts. And do not trifle, find a serious office.

didn't help...
you made my day!!
even in wikipedia it is written that the system is idle,
consider that all the free time of the processor is recorded in this process, i.e. percentage of system inactivity.

If you do not understand anything even after reading the articles, stay away from any servers. This is absolutely serious advice, because if you screw up something there (and you have a great chance), the management will obviously not praise you.

That everyone has already forgotten the times of Win9x, where the software was really needed that ensured the inactivity of the system? utilities like CPUIdle
(oh, how time flies, it used to be a common thing, but now it's a joke for April 1 :))
