Disable THESE 12 Windows SERVICES Right Now (Boost Speed Instantly)

[@darrennew8211]

Note that anything marked "manual" means it won't start unless some program starts it. Disabling ActiveX when it's manual and not running already is just breaking things unnecessarily.

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

Yes, but a scheduled task could start it w/out you realizing. Disable also stops scheduled task.

[@darrennew8211]

@@Oops-IMeantToDoThat Right. And that could break whatever that task was supposed to do, if it was actually necessary to the program running. (For example, a VPN program might launch the service that does the encryption and such when you connect the VPN, which would fail if you disabled it.) You can also wind up with desktop-launched programs starting support services.

[@flamey4446]

That’s true but when u turn ur pc off it is still taking in electric same with manual just acts like a resistor but still adds pressure

[@kychemclass5850]

I would guess that 'Manual' means the service isn't running until it's called upon to run. If I'm right then disabling it is likely to make virtually no difference at all. Disabling the print spooler is not advisable because one day - when you've forgotten that you disabled it; and how you disabled it - and you try to print you'll tear your hair out in frustration as to why printing doesn't work.

[@EasyTechGeek]

You can always come and activate print spool services. Most of the users don't use laptop desktop for printing.

[@kychemclass5850]

@@EasyTechGeek Yes. It can always be enabled again but my point was: Many will forget about it and how to activate it again. Anyway, thanks for the info in the video. It's always nice to see content that educates ordinary end-users as to how to gain more control over their computer.

[@TheCynysterMind]

Additionally certain windows updates will disable the print-spooler. But if like me. While I do not have a standard printer anymore... I do have a label printer. disabling the print spooler always makes me think my printer is broke

[@kychemclass5850]

@@TheCynysterMind :D

[@PLAZMIOUS]

Remember to create a system restore point before disabling the services in case you experience any issues. Great video btw it helped me reduce CPU usage which is always high for me. Keep up the good work mate❤❤

[@EasyTechGeek]

Thank you and you can always enable them back if needed. 👍

[@PLAZMIOUS]

Yes sir @@EasyTechGeek

[@BrumKid]

I always create a system restore point before doing anything that might screwup windows also when i install certain software just in case i get a problem. In fact i think he should have said this at the start of the video.

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

Do not need to STOP prior to setting Disabled. Nor do you have to click APPLY prior to OK. Services which cannot disable immediately, will do so on restart (required to finalize and confirm updates).

[@DaKrawnik]

Modern computers can handle all of these no problem.

[@loccothan]

Connected Telemetry is needed for Gamers, achievements will not pop-up if disabled. Example is Forza Games in Windows Store.

[@sevenfacedsin]

You still get achievements though, just won't get the notification. I actually prefer it that way. I have the Xbox app on my phone and that dings.

@@EasyTechGeek should i disable windows search?????

[@samahemanth5456]

​​@@Kikiiiiii787You can, if u don't use it. Just disable the Windows search service too.

[@jlr1487]

@kikiOfc_ Although counter intuitive, you'll still be able to use Windows Search even if disabled. It will run only when needed, as opposed to indexing whenever it pleases.

[@Kikiiiiii787]

​@@jlr1487okay thanks❤

[@Kels14B]

Keep these on manual their oftenly used in your day to day basis. Disabling them means your never using them ever. (ActiveX Installer) (Print Spooler) (IP Helper) (Geolocation Service) (Windows Biometric Service)

[@dougstewart61]

Useless info as most of the services he disabled were NOT running (manually started as needed) and therefore wouldn't effect performance of the system.

[@markpeters6430]

I'm noticing people are obsessed with "optimizing" Windows and getting the amount of running processes as low as possible. Chris Titus has a video where he got the processes down to 40, which is just absurd. You're gimping Windows and its functionality so much by disabling everything. Most of those processes don't even use any CPU time.

[@dallaspersonalshopping2299]

If you are a novice or want to guarantee these disabled 24/7 then yes it is useful but many features were left out which can be disabled

[@dallaspersonalshopping2299]

One has to use an obsessed frame of mind because there's probably 100 settings that can be adjusted on a computer to get my boot up time reduced from 17 seconds to 5.5 none of the adjustments disabled services that were used

[@kirk1968]

This is great, thank you for sharing! I have used Windows since the 3.0 days and always disable whatever I can. I did not know about some of these services, every bit of saved CPU cycles helps 😁

[@EasyTechGeek]

Glad it helped! ❣️😊

[@lanelesic]

Windows search indexing service is a nasty useless process that more often than not is slowing down your ssds and hdds and slowing down searching itself because of how poorly its implemented and thought out. Disabling it does not disable the search function, just the indexing.

[@Stormie21]

What's the service called?

@@lanelesic i have disabled it but for some reason my settings is lagging very hard and became slow but I have a ssd, my settings were smooth but suddenly it became laggy and slow also particular the "lock screen settings" when I search and click freezes my settings and it comes back a few minutes later

@@Stormie21 Look into your ssd usage in resource monitor to see which processes are using the ssd. None of what you describe has any relevance to the windows search service.

[@Exstingue_omnes_homines]

Thank you. Even if I don't notice a speed change (haven't rebooted yet), you still helped me spy proof my machine a little more. Look into VPN's and VM's (virtual machines) and Linux Mint, which looks and acts a lot like regular Windose (it is a pun), but without all the bloat and spyware. The first time I ran Linux, it felt like I had doubled the number of cores in my machine it ran so fast compared to Windows. You have my like and sub.

[@EasyTechGeek]

Thank you so much ❣️😊

[@darrennew8211]

Yep. Install a VPN, then disable the manual service it starts to encrypt your traffic, then wonder why your VPN doesn't work. ;-)

[@bleakyfinder2692]

Excellent, just found your channel, i have Subscribed. After next Windows Update will they all be altered back? Just a thought do a Restore Point before any changes to be on the safe side.
