Imagine having almost 100K followers and not only giving them this dumbass take, but actually having a fair chunk take it as fact. Maybe uninstall candy crush or turn off the permission for the app itself instead. Suggested app reinstalls have been ditched ages ago.

What functionality you lose by turning running in background off?
Replying to
Due to Microsoft's efforts to separate shell experiences into various packages, you may break parts of shell or search functionality in particular releases if you kill background tasks entirely. I don't think there's been a background resource usage issue excl. very early Photos.

Yes, defending background app toggling because of awful shell packaging issues is kinda dumb. It still doesn't change the point I'm making though, by turning this off you rarely, if ever, actually improve anything.

if you don't let apps run in the background, any UWP app that you open and then minimise will be hibernated if you run low on resources, so they wouldn't eg get new email or play a video or keep playing the game. doesn't affect any OS features and it doesn't affect win32 apps
