Skräp, undvik!
Tog evigheter att installera en app i programmet. Man försöker göra något men applikationen bara stängs ned och man får starta om den.

Gone downhill, all ads and slows down constantly
Used to really enjoy this and found it handy but now it's terrible. It boots up some useless gaming interface first before you can go to the app player. I have a brand new gaming PC yet I can only use Bluestacks for an hour or so before it grinds to a halt and I have to restart it. It's super fast at first, then dies every time. I have an i7-14700k with 64GB RAM and RTX 4080 Super GPU so there's no excuse for it.

This software has REALLY gone downhill
This software has REALLY gone downhill, and when I say downhill, I mean corrupt, clunky, and shady. I would STRONGLY suggest using an alternative. Here's why...
To start, they hide their settings from you, and do some VERY intrusive things. For example, for some odd reason, they have "wake up alarms" set up in Bluestacks, where their software can wake up your computer. I was wondering why my computer kept turning back on when I was shutting it off, looked into it in cmd.exe, and guess what program it indicated was waking my computer up? Yes, Bluestacks!!! To make it worse, they have NO settings in their software to change this. In fact, they have practically no settings AT ALL in their "settings section of the software. Everything is hidden from you.
To add to things that are hidden, they take it upon themselves to automatically add their software to your start up programs. Why would I want Bluestacks loading up every time I start my computer??? It's just a waste of resources and memory! But again, there's no settings in the software to change it, so you have to use other software (or Windows settings) themselves to turn it off. Again, shady!!!
Now, if you look past all the shady things their software does, and evaluate the software for performance, it is STILL very disappointing. Sure, there are a few things you can do with the software that's nice, but it's EXTREMELY slow, like unreasonably, "what could it possibly be doing in the background that's taking so long" slow. As others have stated, it's intrusive, and they run things in the background that snoop, and bog your computer down in the process.
This software used to be decent, but it has seriously fallen apart over the years. I'm actually posting this as I was looking for an alternative to Bluestacks, as personally, I'm going with something less shady and more transparent. I strongly advise you do the same

Habe BlueStacks jahrelang genutzt und…
Habe BlueStacks jahrelang genutzt und keine Probleme gehabt. Inzwischen kann ich nach dem letzten Update KEIN Game mehr starten und wenn dann stürzt es nach ein paar Minuten ab. Auch mehrfache Neuinstallation (die teilweise über eine Std. dauert!!!) nach Anweisung bringt Nix! Inzwischen habe ich sogar Angst meinen PC damit zu "Zerschießen", also Finger weg und entweder auf dem Handy zocken, oder sich ein Game suchen das ne PC-Version anbietet, wie z.B. WoR...
