.NET Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86 - Does It Need To Run?

[DasFox]

I'm not a coder and only installed .NET for applications that require it to run, so do I really need to have .NET Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86 running as a service in the background, or it's safe to disable it?


THANKS

I just disable it. .NET still works fine without any problem.

What is mscorsvw.exe and why is it eating up my CPU? What is this new CLR Optimization Service? (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davidnotario/archive/2005/04/27/412838.aspx)

-{ Quote: "mscorsvw.exe is precompiling .NET assemblies in the background. Once it's done, it will go away. Typically, after you install the .NET Redist, it will be done with the high priority assemblies in 5 to 10 minutes and then will wait until your computer is idle to process the low priority assemblies. Once it does that it will shutdown and you won't see mscorsvw.exe." }-

If you cd to the directory (most likely C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727) as admin and run "ngen executequeueditems" (minus quotes), this should take care of it.
