CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe ?

‎01-27-2017 06:34 AM

What is this application?  Can't see to find a clear view of what it is in relation to Power BI, everytime i open a report in PBI desktop this kicks off and it uses quite a bit of memory.  





If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!

Hi @vanessafvg,

Based on my research, Power BI Desktop uses Chromium to render the visuals, the Chromium rendering process is named "cefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe". You can review this article to get more information about Chromium.


Thanks,
