As an additional fact, disabling apps in the background does not work well in Windows 10 Mobile either.
I would recommend not to mess up with windows 10 redstone 4 processes , those that are suspended is due to architecture change in windows 10 kernel and memory management techniques , search and its indexing is needed when u want to search via cortona bar and in microsoft outlook email client to search within email threads , no point messing them up with gpedit.msc
However, I'm totally relying on portable applications and I don't use Cortana or Outlook either. There are a lot of portable open source alternatives out there. I'm giving up on that Edge and Search running in the background issue as it doesn't look quite right to me to be quite honest. I haven't experienced anything similar in previous builds though.
@jc8, You may wish to change what you did in gpedit.msc back to default as the tweaks concerning background apps were probably meant for "virgin systems" but up to you. Did you try: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...low-rp-rs4_release.76889/page-23#post-1429427
Option 3 will not help, because that tweak was moved in 1803, probably what is causing all this mess anyway. Keep trying.
I haven't followed this issue, but read about it being mentioned often here. I am running 17133.73 Enterprise and can toggle the settings as in previous releases. This system is upgraded from 1709 in place. Is this a problem in "lower" versions only? I have some tweaks which means I removed all Apps from being provisioned, but kept some in use per user. All done in a supported way with PowerShell, but this should not affect the Background functionality.
Fast boot not working in 17133.1. Icons of Apps disappearing. Several Portable apps which worked with 1709, now don´t work anymore.
I think this was diagnosed correctly here. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-update-minitool.64939/page-42#post-1427544 It is about being on an Insider version 17133.73 and trying to go to the public Windows Update. Some functionality works, but not everything, which is as expected. But I expected to have this working correctly on DCat Flighting Prod, which is not the case.
No, you don't - you can just disable the 'Windows Search' service and Indexing stops. As said above, it only really affects Cortana or searching in Outlook, so if you don't use either no problem.
Exactly. There is absolutely no benefit to turning off search. Actually there is no benefit to installing with anything but the MS recommended settings. Most problems happen when you screw with the system. People turn off stuff, then complain that something does not work. SMH. Just leave it alone.
There is HUGE benefit turning off search, as it stops crawling your hard drive all the time, wasting CPU cycles for maintaining a file database, etc. etc. And leaving things alone with Windows 10 and especially with all the telemetry, yea sure, have fun with that And a "MDL Guru" recommending to leave things alone as she/he doesn´t know better, oh my...
Firstly, you must have a really slow computer to notice any difference. Time to hit the stores! Just an example, I have two apps open, Weather, and Tweeten, and Chrome with six tabs. My CPU is between 4 and 7 per cent. This is with Search on, and everything set at Microsoft Recommended. So, how much can I save! LOL!!! Secondly, there is a huge benefit to telemetry in that it enables Microsoft to deliver timely fixes to software problems as they occur. The other benefit telemetry has is that it gives the tin-foil hat people something to cry about.
