How can I reduce the number of processes running in the background on my PC?

1. Uninstall Unused Programs: Uninstalling unused programs and applications can help reduce the number of processes running in the background.

2. Disable Unnecessary Startup Items: If there are any unnecessary applications/programs opening up automatically when you start your PC, disable them to reduce the number of processes running in the background.

3. Close Background Processes using Task Manager: Open Task Manager and check if there are any unnecessary processes running in the background. You can select the process you want to end and then click the “End Task” button.

4. Disable Windows Services: Disabling certain Windows services can help reduce the number of processes running in the background. You can do this by opening the Run dialog box (Windows Key+R) and typing services.msc. You can then identify the services you don’t need and disable them by right-clicking and selecting Properties.

5. Disable or Reduce Automatic Update Checking: Automatic update checking can also cause a number of processes to run in the background. To prevent this, you can either disable automatic update checking or reduce the frequency of the checks.
