Windows 10: Wondering about a software that could close background processes automatically.

Are there any ways to set up/download a software that could close certain background processes as they start up. E.g, Netflix runs in the background and a software automatically closes it using task manager or something. I have been manually doing this to a child app whenever something stupid (twitch chat) gets blocked and I want to access it.

Automatically close certain background programs on battery

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if there is some sort of Windows Powershell script that makes it so when the device is on battery the background processes close and maybe when the device is on AC the processes reopen. I'm wondering if this is possible because I have a lot
of processes running in the background that are very power-hungry.

Thanks in advance,

 

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.
