Hi, greetings,

What is the importance of PresentationFontCache.exe for a normal user if he doesn't do develop and those stuff? Its eating up almost 30% of my cpu.

I am aware of the fact that it is only useful if you use WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) applications. But what exactly are these, can i safely disable/delete this service as shown here.?

As a normal user who does not do application development. Will I face any problems? (for example, judging from the name of that program, im guessing all my apps will load in the default 'Segoes UI' font, and not the font in which it ususally does)

    Good Day RushGM-8863,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you.

    Yes, you can safely disable it the services, it will not cause any harm with your computer, you can try the steps posted in the link you shared.

    Presentation Font Cache is using a lot of resources, it has something to do with the corrupt font in the cache

    Once done, visit this link and perform a cleanboot.

    Restart and check the usage in the task manager.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.
