The Nvidia SHIELD Pro is getting to be a little old. The latest model was released in 2019, and by today's standards is a little lacking when it comes to available RAM. The latest Android software update only made matters worse by sucking up even more precious memory.

Something SHIELD owners can do to squeeze more life out of what is probably still one of the best Android TV boxes ever made is to turn off unneeded system resources. Disabling resources that like to phone home and report to Google what users are watching or doing on their Android devices can also help. This even offers a double bonus, better performance, and more privacy!

But turning off the wrong system resources can also have the side effect of certain apps that rely on Google not working correctly so it's best to tread carefully. The good news is you can reenable anything you turn off in settings. So unlike downgrading firmware to eliminate the ads on the Nvidia SHIELD home screem as we talked about here yesterday, doing this, there's less risk of bricking your expensive box, and it's much easier to do.

This video will show what's safe to disable in settings on your Nvidia SHIELD and have it running at it's best.
