Any apps that can disable Background Apps to increase ram that isnt Razer Cortex?

[Lexi Lunarpaw]

I don't have a Razer CPU or GPU or PC only an N'VIDIA so i need alternatives to that
the apps need to be able to disable Background Apps in order to make games run better
note im using an ACER so no BIOS stuff will work

It's called replacing Windows with a Linux distro

Task manager and Scheduler are built in.

Or, just

Yeah but A Hat in Time with mods and online Party don't work on Linux and OBS Also probably doesn't work

192GB ram, what's that you speak of?

Is Windows 10+ really that horrid? As a gamer I run Windows 7, and I have no idea what you're talking about.

...

Task Manager?

I don't know how a BIOS is supposed to do something, here.

Or, are you looking for a driver utility to create a custom-start for your game exe? You should be able to do that with NVidia.

Same pattern as always
Xp good
Vista trash
7 good
8 trash
10 good

Well, I disagree. I didn't use Windows until XP, but my understanding is that Windows was generally better and better until Windows 8, at which point it just kept going downhill.

With an exception or two (like Windows ME and Vista), from Windows --> 3.1 --> 95 --> 98 --> XP --> 7 the OS got better and better. There was nothing bad about Vista, it was just not much better, introduced annoying UAC, and came with useless bloat.

8 was made for mobile devices, and 10 basically introduced fascism.

The reason 95 was released was because they wanted to add native telemetry support to 3.1. They were already gathering user data, the os just didn't support their solutions very well.

So they had a mostly-functional version of 98 they were working on and released it as 95. They then marketed harddrive cloning to large enterprise solutions before making it a standard feature in 2000. 98 being more or less a ceremonial release of the full project 95 had been a fork of.

In 3.1 all they were collecting were your MAC id and the stuff you put into user info when you installed it. And your file index. And the index of any drives you connected.

Dos added these things in a controversial and easily-reverted patch that many simply refused to acknowledge and has since been patched around to avoid in many emulation distros. Also many didn't have internet so they didn't really get dos patches anyway, and the telemetry in say the XCOM CD release couldn't deploy correctly unless your dos had been preconfigured for telemetry.

So this isn't exactly new or unknown. I feel like there's some poignant point I'm forgetting, besides most linux distros and packages being similar or attracting the forces which do this stuff if used for too long, but I'm not sure what it would be.

Until at least 2005 in the U.S., the majority of people were on dial-up for relatively brief periods of time. There was no MS telemetry in the early 90s.

At any rate, this has nothing to do with the gross excesses of Windows 10+ and the people who embrace them.

Have you tried? I have yet to find a Windows game that I couldn't get working on Linux and that goes back to Windows 95 stuff up to new releases.

Vista was significantly less stable than xp with any service pack. 7 was also super stable. Thats why vista sucked.

7 started the heavy telemetry tho. Windows 10 can be more or less configured to be windows 7, in regards to spyware.

And it doesnt matter anyway, theres NSA backdoors in your drives firmware.

Xp service pack 3>>> vista
It wasnt meh, it was trash lol

10 might be meh. Aside from it needing twice the ram as 7, for no apparent reason, its alright. it at least works as expected.
