If it's very low you won't help your battery life by uninstalling anything but if something is constantly using some CPU % it might. Typing this with one browser window open and task manager running my CPU is going between 0 and 1% and none of the background processes are registering more than .1 - .3 % - fairly insignificant. Hey dugimodo , looking at it , it is the CPU shows a graph with a result over 5% and it keeps on increase as per second , like 6% , 7% , 8% with two tabs open in chrome , when three tabs open it jumps to "sometimes" over 20% but the ram jumps to lower the cpu usage . So it is like 1.86GB of ram used and CPU is around 9% (3 tabs ) open . So hope it make sense , if something u find is wrong please write in comments , and by the way my pc is hp dv6 and it is 64bits , i7 . I havent tried internet explorer , might do later if required . Thanks	AppleFan (17097)
1347655	2013-07-02 00:12:00	Ive used de-crapifier a few times . I just uninstall manually now . Decrapifier just uninstalls in a batch process, & can get issues when 1 uninstall hasnt 100% finished & the next uninstall starts or uninstalls need to be done in a particular order (eg some of the HP crap) I dont think this will solve your batt life issue though . My laptop is about 2 years old , and i was thinking that too 2 hours isnt that bad , but would like if anyway could boost it . Just how many years old is it . It may need a new batt, although 2 hours on batt doesnt seem too bad for a less than new laptop . Thanks	AppleFan (17097)

Ohh and yeah im writing this post using internet explorer rather than chrome , and believe me internet explorer is taking a huge amount of ram like 2 . 17gb with 2 tabs open , I noticed chrome does better at this .

No they don't, they do the exact opposite ;)	pcuser42 (130)
1347662	2013-07-02 03:29:00	Use ccleaner and disable the startup entries under tools/startup. Ccleaner's registry option is ok, but it can remove valid entries in the registry. So, be careful if you use it / what you remove If you think you need HP Support Framework, and HP Support Assistant keep them. I use an HP netbook here, there are downloads for these, but IMO they're a waste of space. It's stable without them. And I wont be installing them. Well I wouldnt use chrome, its too intrusive. And installs a lot of crap that spies on you	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1347663	2013-07-02 03:57:00	No they don't, they do the exact opposite ;) +1 The HP password assistant (I forgot exactly what its called) can cause all sorts of issues with its popups, actually can sometimes make it impossible to enter passwords . To get rid of that you need to remove all sorts of HP Crapware 1st . HP/Tosh/Acer/etc branded Wifi managers never work any better than the built in windows wifi manager/assistant, so just why do they stick those in? The HP/Tosh/Acer/etc automated software/driver updaters often dont work. The HP splash screen/wallpaper historically caused slowdowns trying to remote access PC's, & needed a registry setting changed to get rid of it. Some of this will just be spyware, & will be phoning home to HP/Tosh/Acer/etc . At least one printer company was caught out with their printer software phoning home with all sorts of info about what was being printed .	1101 (13337)
