CPU Usage for Windows 10

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. 

What version of DeskScapes are you using?

8.5

Ok, same as me. I have no problems with it.
