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

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.

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.

There was, and it used the os' own indexing to store the data. It was mostly just a business card, but in my exploration of the Commodore 64 rare accessory market it turned out people traded full sets of user data based on official printouts of these cards. A whole set of Microsoft's registered users could be worth $1M.

XCOM tracked item usage and engagement, with the intent being that they could optimize development to target strategies people used a lot. They weren't interested in ubiquity, just the people whose systems allowed them to gather data.

The issue is that these markets exist independent of the OS, the hardware, or the software. Microsoft is just the latest big fish to fill the pond, and replacing them doesn't mean the problem will go away.

There is a somewhat simple suggestion I've used.

I use a laptop for gaming, and for the most part I can't be arsed to fiddle around with things too much. I like things easy.

So I use Opera GX browser, as it has a builtin "Gaming Mode" feature that does this to an extent - disables a lot of unnecessary resources. It's a simple thing that might be worth trying.

Don't be. It's absolutely fine, as the elitism is a myth.

I've always done this as well as having desktops and everything's always been absolutely fine.

Since I retired though and closed my business, I exclusively use laptops for gaming and again no issues at all.

I'm not interested in the highest specs as it doesn't mean anything. I get a solid 60fps or more in the games I want to play and they run fine at a resolution more than my eyes can resolve.

I don't know what you mean by 'elitism'. I also target 60 fps, and as you point out, it makes no sense to target an angular resolution higher than your eyes can resolve.

There are numerous reasons why it makes no sense to use a laptop for serious gaming --- the key being 'serious' --- we're not talking about Text Adventures, HOG/Casual games, or even Turn-Based Strategy games. Though, for any game, a laptop keyboard is horrible, and worse for typing.

I won't continue, except to say that if a person is into immersive games and maximizing immersion, a laptop is nonsensical. But even if not, it is much better to buy the cheapest laptop/notebook that satisfies one's mobile needs, and then building a desktop for gaming.

I never said there weren't reasons not to.

I'm tackling the snarky point you made about gaming on a laptop. It CAN do all the things I want. And that's the thing. I'm not playing silly old texst adventures. You can easily look up the games I play as my profile is public.

So please stop strawmanning by making silly assumptions like that.

The point is it isn't as bad as you claim and the fact also remains that what YOU might deem as important metrics don't necessarily translate to other people.

So again, the fact I can play Borderlands 3 for example (which I have been doing this week) sat in bed, with my laptop plugged into my 32" (ish) TV at 60 fps with a resolution more than my eyes can resolve works FOR ME fine.

No silly histrionics about playing text adventures etc.

WIN+R > services.msc > disable the ♥♥♥♥ you don't need >reboot.
Course make sure to cross reference what processes are safe for you to disable while keeping in mind this won't work with everything. Be sure to check the Startup tab in Task Manager via CTRL+ALT+DEL and disable anything that services.msc might've missed.

I forget if there were other ways to do this via Windows without any third party applications, with the caveat being that WinAero Tweaker is similarly useful.

Is Windows 10+ really that horrid? As a gamer I run Windows 7, and I have no idea what you're talking about.
Win 10 isn't that bad once you set up a Workgroup and restrict when various Windows housekeeping processes are allowed to run.

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

10 started good, but was ruined after the first few anti-feature updates. There's workarounds for the should-be-illegal outrages, but as they've only doubled-down on the worst of it for 11, it's time to just dump Windows entirely.

Nah.

While 10 (and 11) are far from perfect you're cherry picking there.

There are indeed certain things that are annoying and plenty of services that aren't that necessary to a lot of users. I personally get a few irritations with how the settings (control panel) works these days - I use various audio devices due to audio engineering and windows can often get confused as to which to use, and the same goes with having more than one display.

They're slight problems though, because on the whole it's FAR more compatible than any previous Windows I've used.

I've often gone on about the fact that every single synth, drum machine, FX unit and so on that I have just works when you plug it in. Under 7 or XP it was always a pain in the arse if you could it to work on some things.

As for gaming, when I was on 7, I had around 900 games then, and about 15% of my games didn't work, and a large part of them were old disc based ones, granted.

But now I have more than 1400 games, and there's just one single game that doesn't work for me on 10. ONE.

So sure it has issues, but it also has a lot of good in there that no other OS can touch I've yet to find.

Open paint, draw something stupid. Try to shutdown windows and when it pop hp that there is a program that can't be closed, cancel it. Look at the task maneger how many processes and RAM you have.

I don't know how much RAM do you need or have so, good luck with this trick I guess.

I can't believe you said that to me. You don't like Text Adventures? Search online for a game called 'Babel', along with 'Interactive Fiction', 'IF', or 'Text Adventure'.

Then wait until dark, put on some eerie, atmospheric music at a low level, and give it an honest try.

Nio I never said that I didn't like them. I said that the argument that I'm only playing that is false.

Of course I like them, or at least used to as they were the first games that were out there. I did get tired of them a fair bit in the early 1980s as they were everywhere and it got a bit saturated. Especially on the BBC Micro which I still play a fair bit.
