% Privileged Time is the percentage of non-idle processor time spent in
privileged mode. (Privileged mode is a processing mode designed for
operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers. It allows
direct access to hardware and all memory. The alternative, user mode, is a
restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment
subsystems, and integral subsystems. The operating system switches
application threads to privileged mode to access operating system services).
% Privileged Time includes time servicing interrupts and DPCs. A high rate
of privileged time might be attributable to a large number of interrupts
generated by a failing device. This counter displays the average busy time
as a percentage of the sample time.

This is the explanation of my high power consumption from performance
monitor.

Privilege time is running 100%. How do I find the cause?

TIA, pjl
