Do any VST plugins or DAWs need Bonjour Service? I seem to be getting a lot of errors from Bonjour Service in my Event Viewer

Achemy did, summat to do with the iOS version I think. Which would mean Omnisphere might its the other synth out there with some sort of iPhone app for it.

Cant think of anything else.

It is installed with iLok manager, but it actually doesn't use it or need it, at least in Windows.

It's safe to uninstall. First you have to stop a service called MSDN responder, or something like that. Then you can uninstall Bonjour.

My HP wireless printer uses it.
Windows 10 and too many plugins

Flux uses it in their Pure Analyzer system, likely in some other products as well.
There are some others that I cant recall atm. Basically anything that uses
zero-config networking.

Yes, that one installed Bonjour on my computer in the first place.

It's been showing up in my event log with errors. I installed iTunes to see if that helps. I think it includes Bonjour.

The safest thing to do is to simply disable the service, or set it to run manually. If you uninstall it and need it later, things may crash or not work properly, and you might not get a message saying that the problem is related to Bonjour--which you no longer have installed. If you disable the service (or set it to "manual"), you can turn it on when you need it, as a "quick fix" for anything that uses it.

And iTunes runs a LOT of services and add-on crap that you don't (or almost certainly don't) need on your DAW. All of this stuff will run in the background and cause latency or performance problems on your DAW, unless you turn off the stuff that runs when Windows loads, and set the services to "manual". If you don't actually need iTunes on your DAW, you're better off uninstalling it.
