Is your PC slow? These are the steps to prevent applications that we do not use from running in the background in Windows 10

Your computer may not notice it, especially if it is overpowered, but there are users who with tighter models notice when the PC starts up or executes a task and the seconds seem to take forever There may be causes that motivate it: using an HDD instead of an SSD is one of them, but the most common is the simultaneous startup of programs that are often dispensable.

Applications and tools that start together with the operating system, running in the background and causing it takes even longer to boot and carry out any process A situation that, however, has an easy solution with just a few clicks of the mouse to get rid of those programs that we don't need... at least at startup.

Steps to follow

It's about killing applications that although we need them and therefore, although we don't want to eliminate them, we can deactivate them to save resources on our PC. A process that leads us to achieve a faster start-up and, incidentally, to gain a few minutes of autonomy or even reduce data consumption.

"

The steps to follow to end those applications that run in the background lead us to enter the start menu and through the search box locate Applications in the background flat. Just write background>"

"

The long process to get to the same point is to access Settings>Privacy and choosing Applications in the backgroundflat from the menu on the left."

"

Once the Applications in the background section is located, we will see how all applications can be deactivated at once by simply moving the selector that we see at the beginning. However, this may not be interesting if we want some app to work at all times."

In this case, if we want to carry out a selective disabling we can only move all the markers one by one the different apps to disable their operation in the background.The number will vary depending on the number of apps we have installed on our PC.

We will see system utilities that surely do not interest us, in the case of some games that are installed by default or Weather and Mail apps or the Opinion Center. Others, however, such as mail, social networks, messaging... are not convenient to disable, as we will lose push notifications with each new message that arrives.

If we kill apps running in the background, they will not be able to send notifications or update automatically. We will be the ones who will have to start them manually to use them normally.
