Hi Serg
Windows 10 does have a lot of processes running in the background, this is normal, you may have 70 - 80 versions of Svchost running, those do not take up much resources and will not slow your PC down . . .
Turn off all unnecessary startup applications and processes:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
Click on the Startup Tab
See any non-essential items are listed there
If so, select and click 'Disable'
Close Task Manager
Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter
When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab
Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'
In the remaining list, see any non-essential items are listed there, uncheck any you find
Click Apply and OK
Turn off all unnecessary Background Apps
Open the Settings App
Go to Privacy - Background Apps
Turn off any App you do not need running in the background
Restart your PC
Hello SergFBaby,
These processes are probably the default processes started during OS Boot created by Microsoft and Dell. This issue is probably not unusual. You can try uninstalling the unwanted pre-installed Dell software to reduce the number of processes on your system.
Hi ppbzk, I am Paulo, an Independent Advisor, and I'm willing to help.
Have you checked the privacy option? You can actually disable apps there from running in the background just like I did. Go to Settings > Privacy > Background apps. Turn off the apps that you don't want then restart your computer.
Let me know if this helps.
Would you prepare a listing of these processes and next to each show the amount of RAM the process consumes? I would like to compare this to my computer.
Here is the list for my computer at present, as reported by Task Manager:
0.0 Skype
0.0 [Microsoft] Edge
0.0 [Microsoft] Store
25.8 MS Office Click to Run
25.8 MB
====
Note: I previously uninstalled the Xbox and the Movies and TV apps from the Start menu (right-click > Uninstall)
Here is a complete list of all processes using 25 or more megabytes of memory at present, as reported by Task Manager:
346.7 Google Chrome
52.5 Kaspersky AntiVirus
38.2 Secure System
25.8 MS Office Click to Run
Inasmuch as they add up to less than 500 MB of RAM, with my web browser taking the largest share, I consider this negligible.
Hello, I have been using my new laptop for a few months now, and I do not know if there is stuff I need to uninstall. I am uncomfortable to see that I have a lot of background and windows processes, are these normal? I only use my laptop mainly for school purposes (anki, Microsoft office, evernote) and some hobbies (garena, genshin, steam, discord, taiga).
I want to clean and made my laptop's privacy and files secure. I also want to delete any apps/ programs that I do not personally need, but at loss on what to uninstall for fear that I might unstabilize the Windows or some sort. Please help!
