  • Passive-enabled applications for a computing device
    Patent number: 12399736
    Abstract: A processor of a computing device is described that receives user input to disable an application and determines whether the application is passive-enabled. Responsive to determining that the application is passive-enabled, the computing device causes the application to operate in a passive state. While the application operates in the passive state, one or more essential functions or services provided by the application that are required by an operating system of the computing device are enabled and any remaining functions or services provided by the application are disabled. After causing the application to operate in the passive state: the computing device outputs an indication that the application has been disabled in response to the user input to disable the application, and performs one or more operations that rely on the one or more essential functions or services provided by the application.
