Safe to remove Alienware and Nahimic ?

Is this the right forum for G5 Series (no mention of Inspiron anywhere on my order) ?

My 5090 freezes for 10 seconds every hour or so and I'd like to remove Alienware (which says I have no Alienware devices) and Nahimic. 

Alienware is currently disabled in Task Manager - Startup

I've only just discovered Nahimic and see that it causes problems.

Is it safe to remove these ?

    I'd leave Alienware disabled in Task Manager.

    As for Nahimic, read this...

    Besides RoHe's great link, you might also want to run Task Scheduler as Admin and disable the Nahimic services from there too.

    Search Task Scheduler in the Windows search bar, right click the search result and select "Run as Administrator", find the Nahimic tasks in the list, right click each of them and select "End", then right-click each again and select "Disable".

    This is just an audio enhancer app, rather useless, so you can safely disable it.  You PC will still run fine, including sound.

    True, @RoHe . I put those there because I've read from others that the Nahimic service has a habit of coming back from the dead, when I was getting rid of mine.

    If the Nahimic service is disabled in services.msc, none of its tasks should be able to run, so changing the Task Scheduler may be overkill...
