Avast claimed Dell SupportAssist was the top program slowing down my computer (78%), and Microsoft OneDrive was the second top program slowing down my computer (56%), yet Task Manager>Startup, showed OneDrive was disabled, and indicated startup impact is 'none.' Of course I don't know if that is because it was disabled (?) or if impact was negligible whether running or not. SupportAssist was not listed in Startup, and neither program was in Task Manager>Processes>Background processes.
SupportAssistAgent is listed in Task Manager>Services, but the status is 'stopped.' OneDrive was not listed. Neither were listed in Task Manager>Details.
Dell SupportAssist is stopped and set to manual startup in Services.msc, but the "slowdown severity" of that program still tops the list at 78% - why?
I could not find MS OneDrive in Services.msc, but uninstalled it in "Apps & Features," yet even after uninstalling (and re-booting), Avast advises that "slowdown severity" of OneDrive is now 22%. How can this be?
Since Processes and Startup seem to indicate these two programs are not enabled, not running, or not even listed (and of course one of which has since been uninstalled), and if that means in fact that they are disabled and not starting up when the computer is started, and not tagged for delayed startup, and assumedly not running unless I intentionally access the program, why is Avast claiming that SupportAssist is the major program slowing my computer, and OneDrive still doing so despite having been uninstalled?
