im wondering if bluestacks is safe for my windows 10 pc. does it have any adverse effects on my pc? for example, slowing it down, stopping it from sleeping, adding a type of malware. also what would the best settings be for me to use to minimise the impact it might have on my pc's performance?

 

sorry if all that didnt make sense, hopefully it did though.

thanks

BlueStacks is just an emulator

No harm to cause 

It's just not that good of an emulator ( at least from what I have seen)

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad.

Not from what I've seen as I've only had one game that instantly crashes on load and there will be a few that won't work or will have issues (like taking several attempts to get a game to run without stalling or crashing).

Yea does not seem like a good experience 

That's why I said it's not necessarily amazing

@TofuHaroto So what would you consider to be a better android emulator (specifically for games)?

PC: Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB 3200mhz RAM (8GBx2), Gigabyte B550M DS3H, GTX 1050 2GB, 650W Semi-Modular PSU80+ Gold

Phone: Poco F3 8GB + 256GB

Audio: Samson SR850s

Sound Card: SoundBlaster Play 4 USB sound card

IEM: planning to get the KBEAR KS2s
Please be patient with me, I'm fatally dumb and its honestly a miracle I've made it this far
