I have attached a screenshot of my task manager running processes. It'd be helpful if someone genuinely knows which of these processes are not actually needed.

    Hi, that depends on what you are doing with the laptop, a medical doctor may have completely different background apps than a gamer, the ones you don't need because already present in Widows like browsers, bloatware (driver installers), trial versions and virus checkers should all be uninstalled, you only need 65 background processes. You show 20 out of 81 and can uninstall the 14 Acer apps that will give you 67: BINGO. Note if you have an Aspire laptop you may want to keep Acer Quick Access for the Fn key popups. Mind you Windows will reinstall some of these Acer apps again when you reboot as Acer Care Center, etc. are integrated as devices and can only be disabled in Device manager not uninstalled. Let me know if you need help with this. 😉

    It's really personal preference… Most of the background apps are in the background, without using much in the way of system resources. When you look at that list, it's Edge that's the big resource hog.
