Excessive CPU Usage with WB on Laptop
Thursday, October 10, 2013 by blackcat77 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I installed WB 8 on my laptop which is running Windows 8.1b. It causes CPU usage of about 30% at all time and a lot of heat. When I uninstall, it returns to normal. I'm also running Start8 and Decor8. I reinstalled WB with the same result. I use WB on my desktop computer running W7 with no problems. The CPU usage is in explorer.exe.
I read in a posting somewhere that if you use WB on a computer without a video card, it uses the CPU. Any ideas or suggestions? I'd like to use the program if I can but not if it burns that many cycles. TIA.
