Windows 10: Background Processes

Below is a list of programs I found, that were responsible for a severe lag in my laptop,


1) Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 - en-us

2) HP Support Assistant

3) Realtek High Definition Audio Driver

4) Realtek Bluetooth Driver

5) HP System Event Utility

6) HP Support Solutions Framework

7) Synaptics Pointing Device Driver

8) Intel(R) Management Engine Components

9) HP Touchpoint Analytics Client

10) HP Jumpstart Bridge

11) Bonjour

12) shell

13) Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework

14) AMD Settings


While I would love to take a day off and get to know them, can someone just quickly suggest which one of them are essentials and which ones should I put to sleep???

Program running a background process?

I'm running Corel Video Studio 2018, and it's updates function shows characteristics of a background process:

- the program has an auto check daily plus a manual option for updates

- manually checked, presented with an option of downloading an update and Ok'd, evidence of any activity vanishes from the program workspace, yet the connected internet modem activity light begins running hot as the download happens

- it's repeatable over several up-date cycles

The evidence seems to suggest a background activity - whilst the program/PC is free to use for other things. Several software packages do this.

However, a check in task manager/processes, show all, does not display any info of a related background process for any Corel or Video Studio program. If a background process is being used by the software, MUST it be listed in the task manager/processes
list?

Platform is windows 7 home sp1 64bit plus the important patches.

 

Background Processes

Hello Andrew,

Task Manager shows you the running processes or programs depending on what kind of services they are.
Background processes run in the background without user intervention. The processes you see under this category include processes that involve logging, system monitoring, scheduling, and notifications. These are the processes that programs
usually use in the background. Windows services on the other hand, shows you the list of processes that make up your computer's interface or behavior. This explains why what you normally see under this category are the Windows services that
tell your computer how to operate.

Regards.
