Hi,

I'm running windows 8 just upgraded to link v1.2.0.28. After the initial installation I rebooted my machine and since then BB Link Communication Manager process constantly uses on average 30% of the CPU resource. Anyone else having issues with this build?

Mark.

BlackBerry Link is easily one of the worst pieces of un-optimized software I have ever seen. The same was true of the BB7 PC software. Don't expect much from BlackBerry desktop software - I use it as little as possible, and when I do, I have to shut everything else down. I am pretty sure a bunch of users will jump in here and say they have no problems, but I'll be damned if this CPU hogging isn't a problem more often than it isn't!

Do you have it loading at startup? If so, stop it from doing that in the settings.

I have BlackBerry link set not to start when computer starts. The BlackBerry Link Communication Manager is another separate process which runs even if Link is not started. It uses about 17% CPU resources constantly on mine.

Exactly what happens with mine. When the machine starts this process starts and constantly runs at 30% without the app running.

Dang, Bbry needs new windows programmers that know what they are doing. Their desktop software always sucks.

I have exactly the same issue on Win 8.0. The "Blackberry Communication Manager (32 bit)" is causing high CPU in idle on my 64 bit system. As soon as I kill the task manually CPU is back to normal.

I have this same issue under BB Desktop and was ok under BB LINK 1.1

The problem came back under BB LINK 1.2

Z10 STL100-2 10.1.0.4181

Same issue here and found this thread searching for a fix :-(

[brkdncr]

Having same issue. Win8, BBLink Communication Manager maxes out a single core of my CPU until I kill the process. It comes back on it's own over time unless i disable the service.

[Devilboy125]

I have no problems with it?

Devilboy... 8cores? what processor is that? Perhaps your 8 cores ia super fast that it doesnt seem to lag your pc

Z10 STL100-2 10.1.0.4181

[Devilboy125]

Intel Core i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.1GHz.

I have it running at 3.70GHz though.

I disabled that service from the services window, and BB Link still works and connects to my Z10. Let's see how it goes. Not even sure what that service is used for.

[Wasserstein91]

I have the same problem. Link uses around 10-12% in idle on a more than decent rig. Most annoying.

[flyingsolid]

So I am not the only one with a problem. Link was taking almost 30% of 3.2GHz with 4 cores.

I have the same issue with windows 8 64-bit on core 2 duo.

Drove me crazy and I eventually uninstalled that POS software

same to me. Core2Duo E8500 3.1GHz, Windows 8.1 Prof. 64bit. Both Cores are permanently on 58% load

[dicks-webos]

I disabled the Blackberry Communication Link service and now the high CPU issue is gone.

[daniel337]

I still have this very annoying problem on my older notebook.

Since weeks this strange behaviour - no change, no new version from BlackBerry ... That's very stupid! :-(

I uninstalled this crappy crapware today for this reason.
Gonna miss the remote access capability but until they fix the damn thing...will not be installing this anytime soon.

Yes, my fan is only constantly with the software installed. If I kill all of the Blackberry related processes, the computer quiets right down and runs much cooler.

And yes it does not start on start up.

was hoping this wasn't just my laptop. Without a cooling pad, the laptop shuts down.

[dicks-webos]

Reviving this thread. Updated to 1.2.1 and the issue of the CPU usage seems to be resolved. Can others please update and check also?

I'm on Windows 8.1 now also.

[anon(2757538)]

Seems to be resolved with update as well.

Hopefully it stays like this.

[apfx]

No it's not
