So im trying to play a game atm, and system idle process is hogging my CPU, effectively causing the games audio to stutter and game to freeze for an x amount of frames at a time constantly.

Everyone always on every thread says system idles process is only on when you are not doing anything else, and that its a good thing when it takes alot of CPU but how does it still take CPU when i try to run programs that take most if not all of my CPU and effectively preventing my gameplay unless i restart the PC.
