CPU Usage for Windows 10

i5

March 3, 2016 8:52:11 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

What kind of CPU usage is everyone getting? I was expecting less of load on my CPU, and thinking the GPU would handle it.

I assume you mean DeskScapes / dreams?

Some use more than others.

Have you installed any codec packs?

 

I use K Lite Mega.

Dream files right now are made with AVI or WMV formats

AVI uses 1/2 the CPU use of WMV 

So there would be higher CPU use with WMV

I Note with my dreams which format was used.

Sometimes maybe for quality or looping a WMV format might be needed

So the formats can play with CPU usage .

The Right Codec pack is important as stated above.

Thanks guys, I didn't have any idea honestly. I'll give this a shot and see what happens.

Ok...I just downloaded the K Lite Mega. Is it out of the box? I'm still running 40% CPU usage, and 20-25% goes to DSHost Application. Sometimes it's 30%, and this is on most basic deskscapes.
