And if left unchecked, it will occupy a significant amount of hard drive space. So in this article, Mytour will guide you on how to disable automatic app downloads in BlueStacks.

As you may know, BlueStacks is currently the best Android emulator software available, specialized in playing Android games on computers and laptops.

Returning to the topic of this article, when using BlueStacks, it presents us with two options: either pay a monthly fee of $20 for all premium services, or use it for free with the condition that it will automatically download free apps (considered advertisements) from its partners to your computer. Initially, you may not be concerned about BlueStacks installing a few extra apps, but over time they accumulate and occupy a certain amount of space on your hard drive, which is certainly undesirable. One solution is to uninstall and reinstall BlueStacks, but reinstalling BlueStacks multiple times is not a viable option.
