Resource utilization

Hi Team,

 

I have developed a PowerShell-based approach to optimize system performance by dynamically reducing resource usage of background applications such as Microsoft Teams, Edge, and Outlook.

 

The solution works as follows:

- Detects when applications are not actively used

- Reduces CPU priority (light sleep mode)

- Trims memory usage without closing applications

- Restores full performance when the application becomes active

 

This helps in:

- Improving overall system responsiveness

- Reducing unnecessary CPU usage

- Lowering memory pressure

- Maintaining application availability without termination

 

I believe similar optimization logic can be integrated at the OS or application level to improve performance and efficiency.
