Windows 10: Background apps

Some background apps appear even when turned off the only thing that stop them from appearing is disable superfetch or to open the apps and close them or end them from task manager. Is there are way I can stop these apps from appearing in task manager?

TextNow app and windows 10 mobile

Hello,

Recently, I downloaded the TextNow app for free texting and phone calls over wifi. I realised that when I was not on the app I could not get the calls in background. I then opened my list of background apps and came to the conclusion that it was not reconised
as a background app and therefore could not sync in background.

Is it possible to add an app to sync in background?

Thanks for any help,

Lumia 730 ds : background downloading issue

What are you downloading exactly? In windows phone only the app which is currently in foreground will be executed. If any up is in background it will be stopped. Exeptions are speciall background tasks, provided by some apps. Execution of background task
could be allowed or blocked in energy saver settings for each app which provides background tasks.



Please check if the app you are using provides background tasks and check if background tasks are allowed for this application.

 

Do you have them set as default apps? Then again, they take zero resources in standby mode. *Nerd

 

Hi, Thanks for the reply, yes they are set as defaults so it's normal? *Smile

 

Well I have superfetch disabled, so I can not tell, I have also different apps set as defaults, so they do not start for me.
Settings and Store are separate, I guess you use them often, in that case, it might be beneficial, if they are already started.

 

This may offer some control:

They are all off but they are still appearing maybe because I used them so superfetch make them in the background to open them faster, Maybe?

 

Finally had a look at my task manager.. where you have Groove Music -> Photos listed, I don't, except for Store.

Not done anything special to stop them appearing. Cortana does of course (and I don't use it)
