Apple产品与其他Apple产品配合得很好，但与Windows或Linux配合得较差。Windows PC 与 Mac 共享文件(Windows PC to share files with a Mac)或打印机等产品（通常在设计时考虑到Windows）与Mac连接并不容易。这就是适用于Windows 10的(Windows 10)Bonjour服务的用武之地。
Bonjour在(Bonjour)法语(French)中的意思是你好，允许在不同类型的设备之间进行零配置联网。它可用于在网络上查找其他Apple服务、连接到打印机等设备（提供Bonjour支持）、访问共享驱动器等。以下是您需要了解的有关Apple Bonjour服务的所有信息。
什么是卓悦服务？(What is the Bonjour Service?)
Apple设备可以轻松找到彼此、相互通信，并且通常在大量互连的情况下运行。这与Windows和Mac形成鲜明对比，这两个系统无法轻松共享数据或服务。
为了帮助克服这个问题，并使设备之间的网络配置更容易，Apple创建了Bonjour，它结合了许多网络服务，允许其他设备查找Apple产品并与之通信。
Bonjour与(Bonjour)Macbook和 iPad 等(Macbooks)Apple设备集成，因此您无需在这些设备上安装任何额外的东西即可使用Bonjour服务。但是，对于Windows设备，您需要安装某些Apple软件（如旧版本的 iTunes）才能获得Bonjour支持。
然而， Bonjour(Bonjour)不是应用程序。在Windows 10(Windows 10)中安装Bonjour服务允许Apple软件（和一些第三方应用程序）在您的网络上查找其他Apple产品和服务并与之通信。
Bonjour支持发现Apple网络服务（例如文件共享）、设备共享（例如连接到Mac的网络打印机）和网络配置（与其他Apple设备正确设置网络）。
这种支持取决于支持这些功能的应用程序，因为Bonjour只是允许它发生的技术。
您需要 Windows 10 上的 Bonjour 服务吗？(Do You Need the Bonjour Service on Windows 10?)
Bonjour 服务（Windows 上的mdnsresponder.exe）与一些适用于 Windows(Windows)的Apple(Windows)软件(Apple)集成在一起。如果您想轻松连接到链接到Apple产品的服务和附加设备，则可能需要在Windows 10上安装并启用Bonjour才能正常工作。
但是，Bonjour服务并不是必不可少的。如果您的网络上没有Apple产品，那么您可能不需要它。禁用它可能会阻止某些Apple软件或功能运行，但不会对您的 PC 产生任何其他影响。它不是重要的系统服务，例如ntoskrnl.exe，因此您可以随意将其关闭。
您也可以完全删除它。删除Bonjour服务可能会导致某些Apple软件停止工作，但仅限于较旧的软件。Bonjour不再包含在 iTunes 的最新可用版本中，而其他需要它的Apple软件，如Safari ，在(Safari)Windows上不再受支持。
在 Windows 10 上使用 Bonjour 服务(Using the Bonjour Service on Windows 10)
Bonjour服务（在 Windows 上显示为mDNSresponder.exe ）(Windows)不是可以(mDNSresponder.exe)直接交互的东西。相反，Bonjour是一种在后台运行的服务，允许其他应用程序和软件与网络上的其他设备和服务（包括Apple产品）进行通信。
要使用它，您需要在 PC 上安装支持Bonjour的软件。这很难找到，因为虽然Windows版 iTunes过去包含Bonjour支持，但(Bonjour)Microsoft Store版本（最新可用版本）不再提供此功能。您需要安装旧版本的 iTunes 才能执行此操作。
您也可以安装其他过时的Apple软件，例如Safari，但不建议这样做。较旧的软件通常伴随有可能使您的 PC 暴露于恶意软件(malware)的错误和安全问题。
Apple已将Bonjour (mDNSresponder.exe) 的一部分开源，因此您可以找到对它的支持，集成到其他第三方应用程序、硬件和服务中。这就是为什么近年来对 Bonjour 的支持已在更广泛的基础上集成到打印机等产品中。(Bonjour)
在 Windows 10 上禁用或删除 Bonjour(Disabling or Removing Bonjour on Windows 10)
与所有正在运行的服务一样，Bonjour服务可能会在Windows 任务管理器(Windows Task Manager)中使用您的系统资源。这通常只会在Bonjour 支持的(Bonjour-supported)软件 使用该服务连接到其他设备或服务时发生。
但是，如果您不希望Bonjour执行此操作，您可以禁用它，或完全删除它。如果您想从您的Windows PC 中停止或删除(Windows)Bonjour (mDNSresponder.exe) ，那么您需要按照以下步骤操作。
- 要暂时停止Bonjour服务，请右键单击底部的任务栏，然后选择任务管理器(Task Manager )选项。
- 在任务管理器(Task Manager )窗口的服务(Services)选项卡中，找到Bonjour服务。右键单击它，然后选择停止(Stop)选项。Bonjour将在您下次重新启动 PC 时自动重新启动（或者如果您手动重新启动服务）。
- 要完全禁用Bonjour，请选择任务管理器(Task Manager )窗口中服务(Services)选项卡底部的打开服务按钮。(Open Services)
- 在“服务(Services)”窗口中，在右侧列表中找到Bonjour服务。(Bonjour)右键单击该条目，然后选择“属性(Properties)”选项。
- 在Bonjour 属性(Bonjour Properties)窗口中，将下拉菜单中的启动类型选项从(Startup type )Automatic更改为Disabled。如果Bonjour仍处于活动状态，请选择服务状态(Service status)信息下方的停止(Stop)按钮以立即停止它。选择确定(OK)按钮以保存您的设置。
- 要完全删除Bonjour，您需要使用Windows 设置(Windows Settings)菜单。为此，请右键单击“开始(Start)”菜单并选择“设置”(Settings )选项。
- 在设置(Settings )窗口中，选择Apps > Apps & features。使用搜索栏搜索Bonjour，或滚动列表直到找到 Bonjour 已列出。选择卸载(Uninstall)>卸载(Uninstall)按钮开始删除它的过程。
删除Bonjour后，您可能需要卸载其他Apple软件，例如 iTunes，以确保所有 Bonjour 技术痕迹都已(Bonjour)从(Bonjour)您的 PC 中删除。然而， Bonjour服务本身应该在这个阶段被删除。
在 Windows 10 上与 Apple 设备交互(Interacting with Apple Devices on Windows 10)
使用Windows 10上的(Windows 10)Bonjour服务，您不必担心尝试访问存储在Apple设备上的音乐、照片和其他文件。Bonjour应该有助于让您更轻松地访问本地网络上的Apple服务，但借助(Apple)Windows 10中更好的网络功能，您可能会发现不需要它。
Bonjour并不是您在Windows和Mac设备之间进行通信所需的唯一东西。如果在包含一种以上操作系统的网络上看不到其他计算机，则可能需要通过检查两台设备上的防火墙是否阻止连接来进一步解决问题。(see other computers on a network)
What Is the Bonjour Service (and Do You Need It)
Apple prоducts work well with other Apple products, but less so with Windows or Linux. It isn’t easy for a Windows PC to share files with a Mac, or for products like printers (typically designed with Windows in mind) to connect with a Mac. That’s where the Bonjour service for Windows 10 comes in.
Bonjour, meaning hello in French, allows for zero configuration networking between different types of devices. It can be used to find other Apple services on a network, connect to devices like printers (that provide Bonjour support), access shared drives, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the Apple Bonjour service.
What is the Bonjour Service?
Apple devices can easily find each other, communicate with each other, and generally operate with a huge amount of interconnectivity. This is in contrast to Windows and Mac, two systems that can’t easily share data or services.
To help overcome this problem, and to make network configuration between devices easier, Apple created Bonjour, the combination of a number of networking services that allows other devices to find and communicate with Apple products.
Bonjour is integrated with Apple devices like Macbooks and iPads, so you don’t need to install anything extra on these to use Bonjour services. For Windows devices, however, you’ll need to install certain Apple software (like an older version of iTunes) to gain Bonjour support.
Bonjour isn’t an app, however. Installing the Bonjour service in Windows 10 allows Apple software (and some third-party apps) to find and communicate with other Apple products and services on your network.
Bonjour supports the discovery of Apple network services (such as file sharing), device sharing (such as network printers attached to a Mac), and network configuration (to set up a network with other Apple devices properly).
This support is dependent on apps that support these features, as Bonjour is merely the technology that allows it to happen.
Do You Need the Bonjour Service on Windows 10?
The Bonjour service (mdnsresponder.exe on Windows) is integrated with some Apple software for Windows. If you want to make it easy to connect to services and attached devices that are linked to Apple products, then you may need Bonjour installed and enabled on Windows 10 for this to work.
The Bonjour service isn’t essential, however. If you don’t have Apple products on your network, then you probably don’t need it. Disabling it may prevent some Apple software or features from working, but it won’t have any other impact on your PC. It isn’t a system service of importance, like ntoskrnl.exe, so you’re free to switch it off.
You can also remove it entirely. Removing the Bonjour service may cause some Apple software to stop working, but only for older software. Bonjour is no longer included with the latest available version of iTunes, while other Apple software that required it, like Safari, is no longer supported on Windows.
Using the Bonjour Service on Windows 10
The Bonjour service (appearing as mDNSresponder.exe on Windows) isn’t something that can be interacted with directly. Instead, Bonjour is a service that works in the background, allowing other apps and software to communicate with other devices and services (including Apple products) on a network.
To use it, you’ll need software installed on your PC that supports Bonjour. This is harder to find, since while iTunes for Windows used to include Bonjour support, this is no longer available with the Microsoft Store version (the latest available version). You’ll need to install an older version of iTunes to do this instead.
You could also install other outdated Apple software, like Safari, but this is not recommended. Older software is usually coupled with bugs and security issues that could expose your PC to malware.
Apple has made part of Bonjour (mDNSresponder.exe) open-source, so you may be able to find support for it integrated into other third-party apps, hardware, and services. This is why support for Bonjour has been integrated into products like printers on a wider basis in recent years.
Disabling or Removing Bonjour on Windows 10
Like all running services, the Bonjour service may appear to use your system resources in Windows Task Manager. This will usually only happen when the service is being used to connect to other devices or services by Bonjour-supported software.
However, if you don’t want Bonjour to do this, you can disable it, or remove it entirely. If you want to stop or remove Bonjour (mDNSresponder.exe) from your Windows PC, then you’ll need to follow these steps.
- To temporarily stop the Bonjour service, right-click the taskbar at the bottom, then select the Task Manager option.
- In the Services tab in the Task Manager window, find the Bonjour service. Right-click it, then select the Stop option. Bonjour will automatically restart the next time you restart your PC (or if you restart the service manually).
- To disable Bonjour entirely, select the Open Services button at the bottom of the Services tab in the Task Manager window.
- In the Services window, find the Bonjour service in the list on the right. Right-click the entry, then select the Properties option.
- In the Bonjour Properties window, change the Startup type option in the drop-down menu from Automatic to Disabled. If Bonjour is still active, select the Stop button, underneath the Service status information, to stop it immediately. Select the OK button to save your settings.
- To remove Bonjour entirely, you’ll need to use the Windows Settings menu. To do this, right-click the Start menu and select the Settings option.
- In the Settings window, select Apps > Apps & features. Search for Bonjour using the search bar, or scroll through the list until you find Bonjour listed. Select the Uninstall > Uninstall buttons to begin the process of removing it.
Once Bonjour is removed, you may need to uninstall other Apple software, like iTunes, to ensure that all traces of the Bonjour technology have been removed from your PC. The Bonjour service itself, however, should be removed at this stage.
Interacting with Apple Devices on Windows 10
With the Bonjour service on Windows 10, you shouldn’t need to worry about trying to access music, photos, and other files that are stored on Apple devices. Bonjour should help to give you easier access to Apple services on your local network, but with better networking features in Windows 10, you may find it isn’t needed.
Bonjour isn’t the only thing you’ll need in place to communicate between Windows and Mac devices. If you can’t see other computers on a network that contains more than one type of operating system, you may need to troubleshoot the problem further by checking that your firewall on both devices isn’t blocking the connection.
