Peace.exe is an executable file that is part of the software package known as Peter's Equalizer APO Configuration Extension (Peace). This software is developed by an open source developer, Petrus Verbeek, also known as Peter Eduard Verbeek. The file is typically located in the directory C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config.
Peace is an extension for the Equalizer APO, a system-wide equalizer that provides infinite adjustments to sound output for your PC. Peace provides a user-friendly interface to Equalizer APO, which is designed to improve your PC's sound quality. This software is particularly useful for audiophiles, gamers, and music and movie lovers who want to customize their audio experience.
Peace.exe and the associated software are needed if you want to have more control over your system's audio output. It allows you to adjust frequencies, create and save presets, and apply effects to enhance your audio experience.
Like any other software, it should be removed if it causes problems to your system, such as slowing down your computer, causing software conflicts, or if you suspect it to be infected with malware. If you don't use its features, it might be unnecessary and removing it could free up some space on your hard drive.

Best practices for resolving Peace issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Peace. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
