We are continuing to review the performance of Windows 10 / 11.

This time we will continue reviewing the processes that consume system resources.

Indeed, some of them are legitimate and there is no need to worry.

However, some may be running in the background and we do not know where they come from.

Specifically, we will analyze the process called Bonjour.

What is Bonjour?

Also, this service is built into the operating systems developed by Apple.

For example, macOS and iOS.

This protocol makes it easy for devices to connect.

Therefore, it is generally used to share files and configure connection printers.

It is also part of software developed by that company.

Such as iTunes and the Safari web app.

So when we install them, we will also roll out the Bonjour service.

On the other hand, this service remains activated silently.

Since the programs use it to manage communication over the local data pipe.

What is the function of the bonjour service in Windows 10?

We have noted that this is software provided by Apple.

Consequently, it is not preinstalled on Windows systems.

However, there is Apple software with installers for Windows 10 / 11.

For example, iTunes and the Safari web net web surfer.

So Bonjour comes bundled with these apps.

Other software also includes this service.

Such as remote desktop services.

This software facilitates the operation of networks.

Therefore, its operation is constant.

However, it behaves differently from other apps such as Chrome or Skype.

Consequently, you will not see any icon on the taskbar.

Instead, the apps use them as an intermediary for communication in your local data internet.

Bonjour rant in the background.

It also automates various low-level connection tasks.

In short, the software is not used directly by the user.

It is an intermediary for other apps.

Therefore, we cannot download and install it independently.

Since it comes bundled with applications developed by Apple.

If you see the Bonjour service running, chances are you have downloaded such an app.

Also, these tools need this service to run correctly.

If you disable this service, then it is likely that some applications will not work.

If you are using iTunes or Safari, we recommend not to disable it.

Step 1:Press theWin+Rcombination.

Step 3:After the uninstallation is finished, it is recommended torestartthe computer.

In short, it is not a threat, but a necessary process for the operation of other applications.
