background processing
Background processing refers to the execution of tasks or processes by a computer's operating system that run in the background while the user is performing other tasks. These can include system updates, data backups, virus scans, or other tasks that don't require direct human intervention. Background processes can often be initiated manually, programmed to run automatically, or scheduled for a specific time. They typically run with lower priority compared to the foreground tasks to ensure they do not interfere with the user's activities.
