same deal for me as for es. Stopped launcher.exe from task manager and all went well again afterwads. Not qualified to know where it came from, thought it was spyware from some download, but reading Ariel, true that I had this problem shortly after installing a new hp printer. Launcher was really abnoxious and basically keeping CPU usage at 100% even when no application was open.
Jag förstår inte om Launcher.exe är nödvändigt för att datorn ska fungera utan att vara långsam och läcka information, eller om det är en säkerhetsrisk och bör tas bort.
Translation: do not understand about Launcher.exe is necessary for the computer to operate without being slow and leaking information, or if there is a security risk and should be removed
Dissable but keep until further investigation. Dissable men håll tills vidare utredning
I found at Cnet a forum that has found that this is a file used to help launch your recovery disk for Hp systems. It has been found to be on the preloaded software on Hp systems. So this eliminates that it is not something picked up from download ware.
my computer had been very slow for a very long time and it was constantly making a lot of noize (because of the ventilators that were active all the time). I found out that i could not shut down the automatic start of launcher.exe in the startup files from windows defender. So i found the file and put it in another place on my harddisk. since then my computer has become normal and functions fast again. i think launcher.exe makes a big mess of your computer.
