But I don't see no "kernel" in my task manager. Where are you seeing it?

He must've enabled it. In task manager, View tab > Show Kernel Times. It will show up in red along with the CPU.

Hej

I found this on the adress: www.webopedia.com

Kernel:

The central module of an operating system. It is the part of the operating system that loads first, and it remains in main memory. Because it stays in memory, it is important for the kernel to be as small as possible while still providing all the essential services required by other parts of the operating system and applications. Typically, the kernel is responsible for memory management, process and task management, and disk management.
