    Nobody would ask for the brand in reality. For 99% of computer issues it’s going to be something specific to the used software or Windows, and if the hardware turned out to be relevant in any way, you’d ask for the model because the brand itself is useless for most issues.

    Sorry it was just jarring to me. :P







  • There is a difference between running in the background and being in memory.

    Recent Apps may or may not be in memory, that’s why when you switch to a “recent” app not used in a while it restarts anyway instead of continuing where you left it, it’s effectively just a bookmark to a closed app. So the list being long doesn’t mean these apps are using memory.

    While running in the background is unrelated, apps can run in the background regardless if they are in the Recents list or not. And it can absolutely cause issues or excessive battery usage, but clearing the Recents list is not the solution.
