DeskScapes 8.5 slowing down my wife's PC now as well

January 2, 2016 10:50:21 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

My wife's PC was a clean Windows 8.1 PC that I upgraded to W10.  We never installed any SD software except for DeskScapes 8.2  because she enjoyed the animated wallpaper. Her CPU was at 20% usage.  I installed DeskScapes 8.5 this evening and running the same dream it's now using 47% of CPU.  

My PC did a similar jump but I run lots of SD and other software and was already at 47% or so.  Now I'm running 99-100% making the PC unusable unless I pause dreams.

And yet no one else has seen the same kind of jump in CPU usage?

There are many variables involved. Encoding, Codecs used, content, GFX card/driver in use, etc, Quite frankly, if it came down to running eye candy  or actually using my rig....it be a no-brainer. What Dream are you having issues with and what do you have for GFX and codecs?

It's any dream.  As I wrote, on my wife's PC, 20% of CPU was in use until I upgraded to DS 8.5.  Suddenly, 47% of CPU.  With everything else the same, CPU use more than doubled.  My CPU use also doubled.  We're both using the same Codecs and I have a much faster video card.
