đź’Ą Tech Myth Busted:
“Leaving apps running in the background always slows your computer down.”
Not true! Modern computers and operating systems are designed to manage background apps intelligently. Many idle apps use very little memory or processing power.
The real performance killers are:
• Apps that constantly sync or update
• Too many startup programs
• Outdated software or drivers
• Malware or bloatware
• Low disk space on your main drive
Tip:
Check your startup apps and uninstall programs you don’t use. This makes a much bigger difference than closing every background app.
