Eventually I had enough and decided to uninstall Bluestacks. I also found that the software drastically slowed my system performance down, even when not in use (e.g. I have tried searching online for what HD-Agent actually is, but I got no answers. The only way to disable it is to end the process manually in Task Manager. Another problem I had was whenever I closed the player, a program called HD-Agent.exe runs in the background, and also at startup. It is not specified anywhere on the site that it'd do this. Later on, as I was using it, it started pestering me to pay $2 a month, otherwise it'd install random unwanted apps. However, unlike other Android emulators, it doesn't give the user a full, authentic Android environment, but a custom interface, making this player suited more for gamers than general Android users.

When I installed Bluestacks onto my system, it was a little laggy, but not too bad. I must admit, Bluestacks looked a very promising, trustworthy Android app emulator, but my experience with the player when I had it a while ago was mainly negative.

Questionable background processes, slows system, a PAIN to uninstall
