PresentationFontCache.exe uses 50%+ of my CPU

Anonymous

PresentationFontCache.exe uses 50%+ of my CPU and therefore my 64 bit Windows 7 system runs even slower than it did with Vista. Is there a fix other than killing it every time I boot up?

Hi,

the service PresentationFontCache.exe is only usefull if you use WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) applications. If not, start services.msc and disable the service.

Hi Andre;

I did start services.msc and can see the service "Windows Presentation Foundation" but can not perform any action on it. I see Start, Stop, Pause, etc., but they are all greyed out.

Thanks!

Jer
