I looked on my brothers computer and saw that he didn't have the system idle process. Is it normal or no.

system idle process is a form of power saving used by CPU's. It should only be doing that when your CPU is not working very hard.

yes, it is common for the system idle process to take up to 95% of CPU usage.

MR if u look at the bottom of the window you see the total cpu that is used at the moment (17%)
the thing you marked is merly the percent the program uses of that 17%
so actualy it's only using 14.28% of your cpu.

Yeah I use %17 CPU to run minecraft and it STILL lags... I swear to god it's my processor, it's an intel core i3 processor.

i say it's your video card, you know why?
because CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, in other words your processor. it can't be your processor if you only use 17% of it....

If you are only using 17% of your CPU to run minecraft something may be wrong. Mine runs anywhere from 30%-55% if i am loading a new area.

Also, Task manager is not very efficient at measuring CPU usage but it is close enough.
