How to disable background apps on Windows 11

Martin4999

For some reason I don't have a option to disable background apps in apps and feature when I press the advanced options on a app that supports advanced options so could someone maybe help me?

Try option 2, or disabling apps through the battery menu. https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2022/03/03/disable-background-apps-windows-11/#best_ways_to_disable_background_apps_in_windows_11

Steps to disable background apps on Windows 11

1. Use Apps Settings
-Hit the Windows key, then open the Settings menu.
-Click on Apps, then on Apps & features.
-Search for the app you want to disable, then click on the three horizontal dots, and select Advanced options.
-Look at the Backgrounds apps permissions section, then under Let this app run in the background, choose the Never option.
-Repeat the same steps for each background app you need to disable.
-In the App list, you’ll be able to view those that are available and currently running in the Windows 11 background.

 

2. Try the help of Battery Settings

-Press simultaneously on Windows + I keys to open the Settings menu.
-Go to System, then click on Power & battery.
-Click on the Battery usage section.
-Under the Battery usage per app section, search for the needed background app.
-After you find it, click again on its related three horizontal dots.
-Select to Manage background activity.
-You’ll be redirected to the Apps & features page. There, under the Background apps permissions section, choose again the Never option.

 

Greeting,

Yes I've tried both steps already but the problem is I don't have  the option to turn off background apps on apps that can be turned off.
