Is there any way to fully stop/disable AppControl from running in background?
I understand that some AppControl services must run to log events on background. But I had disabled run on Windows startup, because I don´t need to check events everytime. And even after I start computer, there are AppControl processes running and taking almost 200MB of memory.
It will be great to choose to fully quit AppControl and its services (of course without history).
Thanks for your feedback. You can quit our UI in the top right cog icon menu, but that leaves you with the services because we need them to keep track of historical data.
I guess we could make something like a “live” mode that’s just like task manager with no history. We also considered a “pause” mode that does something like you are suggesting where everything is just stopped?
Can you tell me more about the purpose of your suggestion? You want to be able to use 100% of your resources temporarily, so every AppControl service is stopped for that temporary situation? Or, do you prefer we just be a live task manager with no history that starts/stops like the normal task manager with no history at all?
Please note we also have the performance mode in settings that uses less resources. Please click our top right cog icon to find it. On top of this we’re working on some changes that will improve our resource usage considerably.
I understand that services are needed for collecting data and checking history.
I don´t need to check running processes every time I turn on computer - especially when I am doing some resource intensive work.
Some kind of option to fully pause/stop everything until you open AppControl again. And also fully disable running process on startup.
Yes, it will be then like task manager, but still better.
A pause service would be great.
This way we do not get constant notifications when doing critical work with programs we already know.
I value the program ability to let me know what is going on, specially when installing new software. But sometimes I wish I could just pause all notifications and history?
I think a simple “Pause service” will be perfect, this way you can just press that button and the service will get paused, no notification, no history but can be resumed at will easily from the UI.
Thanks everyone for your feedback on a “pause service” option.
Meanwhile, please remember if your request is due to our notifications, just go to the “Alerts” tab and turn on “do not disturb” and then you can go to settings to further set the exact time you want to set “do not disturb” to.
I also get that this may not be what you are requesting, but I wanted to post it in case others reading this thread in the future are aware of this option. You can also simply turn this on by right clicking our tray icon at the bottom right in Windows.
