Such backgrounds tasks include Updates (eg: Office Update, Adobe Update etc.) and other unwanted activities that can cost your Performance & Data. These background apps/tasks can cause to slow down your PC.
Many of us think that these programs starts when we logon to Windows, and try to clear the Startup programs.
