bingdesktop.exe over 20% CPU

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem.

Bing Desktop (bingdesktop.exe) constantly uses around 50% of my CPU and the backgound picture does not refresh anymore.

Bing version: 1.2.113.0

Thanks

Hello,

Bing Desktop (bingdesktop.exe) constantly uses more than 20% of my CPU. 

I'm running W7 on an i7 quad-core with 8GB,

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, get rid of it.  It's not like if you need it and my view on these things that I don't need, that don't work, that bug up the computer and that test my patience is to get rid of the cursed thing!  No more app causing problems, case closed!

I had version 1.2.115.0. 

I tried "repair", no change, still over 24% CPU constantly.

Today I downloaded again from http://www.bing.com/explore/desktop

(thanks @Milton David Grimshaw)

Then I uninstalled the current version and installed the older version 1.2.113.0.

All OK again, wallpaper changes, no waste of CPU time.

(thanks @alfreddeux)

I wonder when someone from MS will respond here an provide a fix.

@John:

That was not helpful at all.

What I need and what not is none of your business.

The app worked, and after an update it did no longer. MS will fix it sooner or later. Case closed.
