    Privacy - howto background apps query


    I wanted to turn off Edge, so went to settings / privacy - and clicked on running background apps.
    My other pc's show a fairly comprehensive list, but this Windows 10. 32 bit laptop shows just one entry for Skype.
    Any thoughts how I can restore the anticipated list.
    Thanks

    :)

    Problem in Background app restrictions

    Hello MSFT,

    Some certain apps like WhatsApp are not listed in my "Background apps" under Privacy settings and apps which listed, are not being able to restrict. Those apps are still sending push notifications. A few apps are showing twice or thrice at there

    Apps only run as background pocesses

    Hi Carmine,

    To manage background apps in Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

    • Go to Start menu and select Settings.
    • Click on Privacy on the Settings window.
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select Background apps.
    • You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an
      On/Off toggle.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.
