When I open up resource monitor, I see this thing occupying about 25% of my processor, and doing nothing with it.

Suspending the process frees up the CPU usage, and doesn't effect the running of the computer what-so-ever. :confused:

Why would they make part of an operating system that uses up so much resources that does next to nothing?

Download Process Explorer (made by MS) it will tell you what is taking up the CPU

Yeah I read that link before posting here, but it doesn't explain why I can go into resource monitor, right click the process and press suspend with no negative side effects what-so-ever.

Seems odd that I can disable it and nothing bad happens
