Property Value

A TimeSpan indicating the amount of time that the thread has spent running code inside the operating system core.

Remarks

Windows uses several different protection mechanisms, and at the root of them all is the distinction between user mode and privileged mode. PrivilegedProcessorTime corresponds to the amount of time that the application has spent running in privileged mode, inside the operating system core. The UserProcessorTime property indicates the amount of time that the application has spent running code in user mode, outside the system core.

User mode restricts the application in two important ways. First, the application cannot directly access the peripherals, but instead must call the operating system core to get or set peripheral data. The operating system can thus ensure that one application does not destroy peripheral data that is needed by another. Second, the application cannot read or change data that the operating system itself maintains. This restriction prevents applications from either inadvertently or intentionally corrupting the core. If the application needs the operating system to perform an operation, it calls one of the system's routines. Many of these transition into privileged mode, perform the operation, and smoothly return to user mode.
