Reduce CPU usage for Intel Celeron N3350?

[Milardo]

Hi I have a generic laptop with intel celeron n3350 6gb lpddr3, 256 gb ssd.

What are things I can do using NTLite to reduce cpu usage?

I want to keep microsoft store and a few apps like pluto tv.

Is there anything I can do so that store apps, especially pluto tv will use less cpu?

Thanks for any good replies.

Celeron N3350 is an entry-level CPU, it's relatively underpowered.

You can try the Gaming or Lite templates under Components for a start. If you want to keep the Store to download apps, confirm your preset keeps these components checked:

        <c>Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp 'Store Experience Host'</c>
        <c>Microsoft.WindowsStore 'Windows Store'</c>
        <c>passport 'Microsoft Passport'</c>

Store (or UWP) apps don't really use more CPU, they just consume more memory. Depending on how many browser tabs, and apps you have running -- maybe 8 GB of RAM gives you more headroom. The SSD partially makes up for the slow performance.

Disabling the background services will help. But you should explain what other types of apps you're running.
