I'm having some trouble with GTA V, and support from Rockstar gave me some steps to follow. They suggested that I close out all programs except for Task Manager to free up resources. However, I'm worried that this will stop essential Windows processes. Am I overthinking this, or is it risky to end all those processes?

Don't worry about breaking your PC. If you go for that clean boot approach, disable the non-Microsoft services in msconfig and see if that improves your gaming experience.
You're just closing apps, not affecting key background processes. You can always relaunch anything you close or just restart your PC if needed.
It's fine to close programs except Task Manager; it won’t break your PC. If the issue persists, consider doing a clean boot—just keep Microsoft and Rockstar services running. It could help you diagnose what's wrong!
I find it hard to believe GTA V needs everything non-essential shut down. But it could help eliminate other apps causing issues. Have you tried a clean install lately?
Nah, that’s not a good idea. If you need those resources for gaming, it might not help if your system is already strained.
