Background Apps

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

It can affect the framerate if there are multiple apps that are running at the same time when you are playing a game. It will only affect a little, but if only a few apps, it should be the same framerate.

The space for background apps is extremely finite, it should only run one. Dolby is not an app that runs in the background it's part of the operating system and the app acts as a key for activating it.

hi Armando Vasquez Ambrocio

that is normal since apps and some game have background process. (even when they are closed)

try disabling the background process of game and apps in you HDD

this setting is found in: windows setting>Privacy>Background apps

there you can disable the game and apps background activity

and restart your computer

note: windows store will not be able to automatically update these apps/Games if the HDD is not connected

Can you check in Settings > Privacy > Background Apps and check that the Xbox App is set to On so that it can run in the background?

Check if the background activity is allowed foe the app. Otherwise it will refresh only when you open the app. For constant notifications, like what you have for instant messaging apps like Whatsapp, you need to enable background activity for the
app.

The Xbox App does not appear in the Background App Refresh menu. I am not sure why, but that crosses this off the list.
