bingdesktop.exe over 20% CPU

Anonymous

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?

Hi,

I found a solution: uninstall and reinstall! It works perfectly now: CPU used = 0% and the background picture is correctly refreshed.

Regards

Same here with several PC and Laptops. Maybe MS runs out of new images every year at the end af March.

Any fix yet? Still facing the same issue even after almost another year. Laptop fan going mad because of BingDesktop utilising more than 100% of one of the cores. Kinda like the background image that changes every day but nevertheless am going to uninstall... poor cpu fan.

Solucionado con uninstall/reinstall. Debe ser porque no es capaz de actualizarse ella sola. En la nueva versión ya incluye a España como fuente de información para noticias e imágenes.
