Efforts to Make Work Desktop Run Less Sluggishly

Man, OneDrive and Zoom both really hog my PC resources. So, on my work desktop PC I've opted to not start OneDrive with Windows. Additionally, I'm doing some of the things below to see if they break anything and — if not — if they seem to improve the desktop PC's responsiveness. This is a Hewlett-Packard Slim Desktop S01-pF2xxx with 32 Gb of RAM and an Intel Celeron CPU at 3.3 GHz, running on Windows 11 Home OS build 22631.3737 (64-bit).

Step 1: Disable background apps running — requires this step on a Win 11 Home PC.
