You can stop Windows 10 apps from running in the background to save battery, bandwidth, and some system resources. In this guide, we show you how.

To prevent apps from running in the background use the following steps:

1.Open Settings.
2.Click on Privacy.
3.Click on Background apps.
4.On the "Background apps" page use one of the two options:

Turn off the Let apps run in the background toggle switch to disable all apps acquired from the Store.
