System Software

System software is the set of programs that manage and control a computer's hardware and provide a foundation for running application software. It includes operating systems like Windows or macOS, which coordinate tasks, manage files, and ensure hardware components work together smoothly. System software acts as a bridge between the hardware and the programs you use, enabling the computer to function efficiently and reliably. Without it, application programs couldn't operate, as the system software handles the essential, low-level operations necessary for your computer to run successfully.
