    The operating system handle this system idle situation by using the System Idle Process.

    Explanation:

    This system idle process constantly keeps the processor occupied means that the processor will not freeze when no processes are in work. When a process is using 12% of the CPU then 88% of the CPU is used by the system idle process. You can see this in the task manager of your windows.
