你们中的一些人在通过任务管理器发现那个讨厌的小进程占用了你的资源时,可能已经注意到一个列为Bonjour Service的进程。虽然,很少有人知道该服务到底是什么,以及它在他们的日常 PC 活动中扮演什么角色。
首先(First),Bonjour 服务(Bonjour Service)不是病毒。它是Apple开发的软件,自 2002 年以来一直是其操作系统 iOS 和 macOS 的一部分。该应用程序与Apple生态系统深度集成,有助于使整体体验更加无缝。另一方面,当用户安装Apple相关软件(如 iTunes 或Safari网络浏览器)时,该软件会进入Windows计算机。(Windows)
在本文中,我们将深入讨论Bonjour 服务(Bonjour Service)以及您是否需要它或者是否可以从您的Windows计算机中清除它。如果您决定使用后者,我们将提供有关如何禁用Bonjour(Bonjour)服务或完全摆脱它的分步指南。
什么是 Windows 10 上的 Bonjour 服务?(What is Bonjour Service on Windows 10?)
Bonjour服务最初称为Apple Rendezvous,可帮助发现和连接本地网络中的共享设备和服务。与常规应用程序不同,Bonjour在后台工作,而其他Apple应用程序和程序使用它通过本地数据网络自动通信。因此,允许用户在没有任何配置的情况下建立网络,也称为零配置联网(zeroconf)。
这可以通过使用现代技术(例如主机名解析、地址分配和服务发现)来实现。虽然使用多播域名系统(multicast Domain Name System)(mDNS) 可确保Bonjour 服务(Bonjour Service)不会通过缓存支持信息而对您的互联网速度产生负面影响。
如今,该服务最常用于文件共享和发现打印机。Bonjour 的一些应用包括:
- 分别在 iTunes 和 iPhoto 中查找(Find)共享的音乐和照片。
- 在Safari中查找设备的本地服务器和配置页面。
- 用于管理SolidWorks(SolidWorks)和PhotoView 360等软件中的许可。
- 在SubEthaEdit中查找某个文档的协作者。
- 在 iChat、 Adobe Systems Creative Suite 3(Adobe Systems Creative Suite 3)等应用程序中与多个客户端进行通信。
在Windows计算机上,Bonjour服务没有任何直接功能,可以删除。
虽然,如果您在Windows(Windows) PC上使用Apple软件(iTunes 或 Safari(iTunes or Safari)) , Bonjour是一项必不可少的服务,删除它可能会导致这些应用程序停止工作。不仅是Apple软件, (Apple)Adobe Creative Suite和 Dassault Systemes 的 Solidworks等某些第三方应用程序也需要Bonjour服务才能正常运行。因此,在您继续并决定删除Bonjour之前,请确保您计算机上的任何应用程序都不需要它。

What is Bonjour Service on Windows 10?
A few of you, while going through the task manager to find that pesky little process hogging up уour resources, might have noticed a process listed as Bonjour Ѕerviсe. Although, even fewer know what the sеrvice really iѕ and what role it plays in their day-to-day PC activities.
First up, the Bonjour Service is not a virus. It is an Apple-developed software and has been a part of their operating systems, iOS and macOS, since 2002. The application is deeply integrated within the Apple ecosystem and helps in making the overall experience more seamless. On the other hand, the software finds its way onto a Windows computer when the user installs an Apple associated software such as iTunes or Safari web browser.
In this article, we will be discussing in-depth about the Bonjour Service and whether you need it or if it can be purged from your Windows computer. If you decide on the latter, we have a step-by-step guide on how to disable the Bonjour service or get rid of it completely.
What is Bonjour Service on Windows 10?
Originally called Apple Rendezvous, Bonjour service helps discover and connect shared devices & services across a local network. Unlike regular applications, Bonjour works in the background while other Apple applications and programs use it to communicate over a local data network automatically. Therefore, allowing the user to set up a network without any configuration, also known as, zero-configuration networking (zeroconf).
This is made possible by the use of modern technologies such as hostname resolution, address assignment, and service discovery. While the use of multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) ensures the Bonjour Service doesn’t inversely affect your internet speed by caching support information.
Nowadays, the service is most commonly used for file-sharing and to discover printers. Some of Bonjour’s applications include:
- Find shared music and photos in iTunes and iPhoto respectively.
- To find local servers and configuration pages for devices in Safari.
- For managing licenses in software like SolidWorks and PhotoView 360.
- In SubEthaEdit to find collaborators for a certain document.
- To communicate with multiple clients in applications such as iChat, Adobe Systems Creative Suite 3, etc.
On Windows computers, the Bonjour service doesn’t have any direct function and can be removed.
Although, if you use an Apple software (iTunes or Safari) on your Windows PC, Bonjour is an essential service, and removing it may cause these applications to stop working. Not just Apple software, certain third-party applications like Adobe Creative Suite and Dassault Systemes’ Solidworks also need the Bonjour service to function properly. So before you move ahead and decide to remove Bonjour, ensure that it isn’t required by any application on your computer.
How to disable Bonjour service?
Now, there are two ways you can go about removing the Bonjour service. One, you can temporarily disable the service, or second, uninstall it altogether. Uninstalling the service will be a permanent move and if you later realize that you actually needed it, you will have to reinstall Bonjour, whereas in the other case, you can simply enable it back again.
To disable any service on your computer, you will need to open the Windows Services application. There, simply change the startup type to Disabled for the undesired service.
1. To open Services, launch the Run command box by pressing the Windows key + R, type services.msc in the text box, and click on OK.
You can also access Services by directly searching for it in the Windows start search bar (Windows key + S).
2. In the Services window, locate the Bonjour service and right-click on it to open the options/context menu. From the context menu, click on Properties. Alternatively, double-click on a service to access its properties.
3. To make finding the Bonjour service easier, click on Name at the top of the window to sort all the services alphabetically.
4. First, we terminate the Bonjour service by clicking on the Stop button under the Service status label. The service status after the action should state Stopped.
5. Under the general properties tab, expand the drop-down menu next to the Startup type by clicking on it. From the list of startup types, choose Disabled.
6. Click on the Apply button at the bottom-right of the window to save the changes and disable the service. Next, click on OK to exit.
How to uninstall Bonjour?
Uninstalling Bonjour is as easy as removing any other application from your personal computer. All you need to do is head over to the Program & Features window of Control Panel and uninstall Bonjour from there. Nevertheless, below is the step by step guide to removing Bonjour.
1. Open the Run command box, type control or control panel, and press the enter key to launch the Control Panel application.
2. In the Control Panel window, click on Programs & Features. To make looking for Programs & Features easier, change the icon size to small or large.
3. Locate Bonjour and click on it to select.
4. Finally, click on the Uninstall button at the top to uninstall the Bonjour application.
5. Alternatively, you can also right-click on Bonjour and then select Uninstall.
6. In the following confirmation pop-up box, click on Yes, and follow the on-screen instruction to complete the uninstallation process.
Since Bonjour is integrated into multiple Apple applications some parts of it may persist on your computer even after uninstalling the application itself. To completely get rid of Bonjour, you will need to delete the .exe and .dll files related to the service.
1. Start by launching the Windows File Explorer using the keyboard shortcut Windows key + E.
2. Navigate yourself to the following location.
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
(In certain systems, like the ones running Windows Vista or Windows 7 x64, the Bonjour service folder may be found inside the Program Files(x86) folder.)
3. Locate the “mDNSResponder.exe” file in the Bonjour application folder and right-click on it. From the ensuing options menu, select Delete.
4. Look for the “mdnsNSP.dll” file and delete it too.
If a pop-up message stating, ‘This action can’t be completed because the file is open in Bonjour service’ appears, simply restart your computer and try to delete the files again.
One can also remove the Bonjour Service files using an elevated command prompt window if the pop-up message continues to prevail even after a computer restart.
1. A regular elevated command prompt window won’t be able to completely remove Bonjour from your personal computer. Instead, you will need to launch the command prompt as an administrator.
2. Irrespective of the mode of access, a User Account Control pop-up requesting permission to allow the Command Prompt to make changes to your device will appear. Simply click on Yes to grant the necessary permission.
3. Next, we will need to navigate to the Bonjour folder destination in the command prompt. Open your File Explorer (Windows key + E), find the Bonjour application folder, and note down the address.
4. In the command prompt, type the address (\Program Files\Bonjour) and press enter.
5. Type mDNSResponder.exe –remove and press enter to run the command.
6. Once removed, you should see the confirmation message Removed Service.
7. Alternatively, you can skip the individual steps 2 & 3 and directly type the below command
“%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove
8. Finally, unregister the mdnsNSP.dll file using the following command:
regsvr32 /u “%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mdnsNSP.dll”
Now, restart your computer and then delete the Bonjour folder.
