Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    "Force Stop": Stops the application if it is running (equivalent to closing a program in Windows, for example)

    Disabling it prevents it from starting and being used, as if it were uninstalled, without actually being so (often these are system or pre-installed applications that can only be disabled).

      Thank you very much Judge_DT.
      So by forcing the stop, I won't risk any damage to the app and I can restart it when I need to?
