Hello and Good Evening Everyone,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Upon running a scan of my laptop using Avast Free Edition, &nbsp;I did notice a recommendation made by the program to disable unwanted programs to speed up performance. &nbsp;Seeing that I am using the Free Edition and not the Premium Edition, Avast did not correct this issue. &nbsp;With that point in mind, could someone provide some tips for disabling unwanted applications manually or through the aid of a third party program which can be downloaded and installed freely? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Any attention given to this request will be greatly appreciated.<br />

how can I disable unwanted applications within Windows 10?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
