What is Bonjour Service?
Bonjour Service is related to the Bonjour Application that comes built-in with Apple’s operating systems such as iOS and macOS. The application is used to provide a generalized method of discovering shared devices on a local area network, discovering printers, and the Internet Explorer Plugin for Local Web Servers to an application. The Service also allows an application to set up a network without requiring any configuration. The Application isn’t a part of Windows’ installation and must be installed later. However, a certain application might also install it as a component. This application is very important to applications associated with Apple and is integral to getting them working on a Windows computer. Microsoft’s Windows doesn’t generally support Apple-related software due to which they rely on Bonjour Functionality to get them working on Windows.
Should Bonjour Service be Disabled?
If you didn’t install the service yourself, it probably got installed along with an application that required Bonjour functionality. This means that if you uninstall the application from your computer, some apps might stop working. Therefore, if you are using an application that requires Bonjour Functionality such as iTunes or Safari, it is recommended not to disable the application. However, if you aren’t using any Apple associated application and are confident that it got installed as a mistake. You can easily disable the app without having any side effects on your computer. It is still recommended not to uninstall it as it isn’t popular for high resource usage and doesn’t really harm your computer.
