Greetings,
I've recently managed to build and install a brand new PC, with a lot of help from two of the moderators ( cin19 and USAFRet ). So I could never really thank them enough.
But the new PC has too many background processes running on it, and while I have read, that it's normal for a computer to have several background processes running, I also know ( from what I've read and from my bad experience with my laptop) , that too many running processes, that are not necessary to be running all the time can cause unnecessary memory and CPU usage etc.
And honestly I am not good ( though I would like to learn how ) with properly figuring out, which ones have to be kept running all the time and which not. I know every process must have it's purpose, so I am not asking which ones are completely useless ( as I know there's no such thing as useless process ), but rather asking which ones should I keep all the time and which should I keep closed generally.
I will be using the new PC mostly for gaming and other programs, that have higher PC requirements. The rest of the time I will keep using my laptop (as soon as I manage to reinstall it).
So my question is how to properly manage those processes and decide which ones should require to be running at all times and which ones should not.
The PC has Ryzen 3 2200g with 2x4gb ram (ddr4 3000MHz) and 500gb SSD and 1tb HDD

I will appreciate any tips on how to properly manage those and any other processes in the feature. I really want to properly optimized my computer and manage the programs that are running on it better.
Thanks in advance!
