A method and apparatus for modifying resource usage by a computing system including a first environment and a second environment is disclosed. A status signal is received and applications executed by the first environment and by the second environment are monitored. The status signal may indicate whether the computing system is coupled to an external device. It is determined whether a first application is executed by the first environment and by the second environment. Responsive to determining the first application is executed by the first environment and by the second environment, an amount of resources allocated to the first application by each of the environments is calculated. Based on the first amount of resources allocated by the different environments, execution of the first application by the first environment or by the second environment is halted.

Optimization of resource usage in a multi-environment computing system

An electronic device having a multi-environment operating system (OS) is disclosed. The electronic device creates a web session and/or updates a browser configuration in a first OS environment based on a web session and/or a browser configuration in a second OS environment. The web session is created and/or the browser configuration is updated when a primary OS environment transitions from the second OS environment to the first OS environment. The transition may occur when the device transitions from a docked mode to a mobile mode, or from a mobile mode to a docked mode.
