  • Publication number: 20210303056
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for background process management for a device. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect that an information handling device is idle for a threshold period of time. The code is executable by the processor to determine an application that is executing in the background on the information handling device while it is idle. The code is executable by the processor to decrease a frequency with which the application that is executing in the background performs tasks based on an amount of time that the information handling device has been idle.
