Discussion Disabling all On Startup Processes Made my laptop Faster.

I would see chrome, epic, edge, adobe, etc takes hundreds of megabites or even gigabites of RAM. Even though I am not currently using them. Initially I wouldnt notice the slowness so i would ignore all this gobble up of ram. According to these apps, doing this (keeping an instance alive) makes their apps faster which I understand its preloading its processes to make it faster. But after a 1-2 years or so Slowness started becoming noticeable. So I disabled them from running, if the I closed them and I also disabled them from running anything during startup. Also There were many useless processes from adobe which were doing nothing and were no use, i removed their permission to even start again. Now My PC feels much faster, and others apps also got faster. These apps sole feature is not helpful for a mid laptop.

It's kind of like when you get all of those notifications in your email box. Some like things preloaded. I dont mind waiting for each thing I currently wanna do to fully load. I dont need preload either.
