Disable Unnecessary Services in Windows 10 in 2021

Always check if you need that service before you disable it. Smash the LIKE Button 👍

While smart to not trust random downloads, this was just a batch script and if you open it in text you can see plain as day what it does step by step without any worry.

[@starvr]

Thanks for showing us this, it made a big difference for me. I play mostly VR games, such ETS 2, ATS, Fallout VR, HL: Alyx etc. I was having frame rate problems with ETS 2 but mostly with ATS. ETS 2 I got 90 fps inbetween cities and 45 fps in most cities, ATS was worse 75 fps outside cities and 35 fps inside cities. Now I temporarly stop about 5 services, and I get in ETS 2 90fps and 90 around most cities, ATS again 90fps and 90fps in most cities. So it does make a big difference. It probably depends on the services you remove to how much power you recover. In fact, so good was the difference in ETS 2 that I was able to put the settings up to High/Ultra on everything except Anti-aliasing. I'm still adding to the super sampling, currently at 200% for ETS2 and 132% for ATS.

[@mkskrakusnh]

I suggest to set services to 'manually' instead 'disabled'. If Windows will need one of these then will start by itself

[@Britec09]

Yes that can be done, but I have no use for those in the video.

Will Microsoft use that to turn things on that you want disabled?

Common sense and sound practical judgment concerning tweaking settings goes a long way to properly configure your computers. Unfortunately, we're all looking for that magic bullet to cut corners and do all the work for us without doing the research and understanding it takes to get those wondrous results. Thank you Brian for these videos and keep up the good work.

[@Britec09]

You're welcome mate

[@MsPistoler]

I agree, but I also disagree. Some processes need to be disabled because there may be a good chance that the person will not use certain resources. It's great to have the knowledge and power to manage everything without restriction, but to this day I see a lot of stupid stuff enabled in the background. For this and other reasons people prefer Linux. I use and like windows a lot, but it's unbelievable how Microsoft wastes a machine's memory.

[@nigelphillips7454]

@@Britec09 when using all cpu cores with ms config what other settings would you recommend i disable to save a bit more battery life or can disable them apart from 1 core again when not using them is that a good idea or

[@motebike]

Respect for all the hard work you've been doing for our benefit. I'd suggest also disabling services that start with the word REMOTE, not just REMOTE REGISTRY (except REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL, if you use the internet service). Some people may need them for work or trouble shooting purposes remotely, but for the majority, for privacy purposes, it's essential to disable them.

[@EveryMinOfEveryDay]

I wish i could save comments

[@israelatuahene6740]

Wow my process was 107 but after disabling many services it is now 52 processes this has made starting up my PC extremely fast. Thanks a lot Britec. Well done.

Great 👍

[@Konaa4life]

How'd you get down to 52

[@LightsOut522]

Thanks, I already optimized the heck out of my pc, but after manually disabling things that I really don't need, made my mouse even more responsive.

Just ran it and it's great, thanks :D Found an error in the script, check for 'sc configTrkWks start=disabled' This line should be : 'sc config TrkWks start=disabled' thus put a space between 'config' and 'TrkWks'

As I know any service can be turned off on Windows 10 fresh installation not upgraded one I was been turned off any Windows service when I was used Windows XP without RPC call it's main service who I was turned off at Windows XP and Microsoft she'll wasn't worked at all mostly you will need to stay services like login user control if you have account to be log in at Windows 10 startup.

Does it kill windows update? Sometimes, when it's late at night, and I want to go to bed, I go to shut down my computer, only to find that it wants to install some useless update first! I like to turn it off at the wall when I'm not using it, but no, I have to wait for this stupid update to finnish. Then and only then it shut's it down and I can turn it off at the wall.

[@fredghusby8058]

Thanks a lot for the batch-file you supplied in the link. It saved me a lot of work. I can comment away the ones I am not sure of, and I can add others in the bat-file. Really a time saver! I've got several low spec laptops that are not upgradeable, but useable for office work. I can make them a little bit better by running this batch-file on all of them. Really helpful! It is really strange how smart people are giving away what they know?

Is there anything specific i want to renable if i use microsoft store and the xbox app? Just don't wanna mess anything up.

[@ethimself5064]

Curious: how does the auto differ from the auto delayed start and the manual settings? Not the off though. Tx

[@ethimself5064]

No reply yet

[@spacial2]

Auto forces the service to start with BOOT. Extending BOOT times Delayed Start starts shortly after BOOT. Sometimes causing the input to slow down or stop, after start up. Manual start when the service is called. Delaying the start if the service, the first time.

[@RaiseYourVibes333]

Can’t see it’s blurry . What about Web credential manager? Someone else asked about this as we think we are hacked and it’s probably Microsoft as my computer is pretty new. I did NOT create ANY of these passwords and it says unknown app amd other crap I have never seen or gone into before so this the reasons for things disappearing amd it acting strange enough to warrant a hard reset several times !

[@ron9146]

HELP -- I have a 25 year collection of over 750,000 documents with systematic filenames. With Windows 7, I could use file explorer's search to find a couple dozen documents matching two or three keywords. But Windows 10, searches inside the documents and returns 30,000 or 40,000 files. Totally useless! How do I get Windows 10's File Explorer to search by filename only?

[@Puckerization]

Thank you for this great guide. If I edit your "Windows 10 Disable Services" bat file and replace "disabled" with "manual" ... will that be the correct syntax to switch to Manual?

[@Wanderer_Rogue]

It is self explanatory to a degree, but some service descriptions arent very informative and others are unintentionally misleading. Others require knowing a lot about the way computers and hardware/software components do or don't do, rely on, require, etc. In other words, there can be some nuance and research involved for the common user.

Is changing services system wide affecting all users or just the current user? I work IT desktop support and manage imaging dozens of devices per day. Its a small company so i do a clean install usb per machine (working on building an image woth mdt later). I do manage services post windows install but do it manually. A script is perfect to shave time.

[@romiemiller7876]

i have a severe problem with Windows changing all my raw files to XMP files. I didn't change these, and I don't know what this file type is. I assume Windows did. If I click on a file, I get a message that I need to buy a program from Microsoft store to open the file. Windows is essentially holding my raw files hostage, which I believe is illegal and violates federal law. I'm going to find out. Meanwhile, I need to restore my raw image files. How would I do this?

Hello, Brian; "Thank You!" for all you do. Do you have an "UnDo" (Reversing) script? If I'm going to download a script I want to be able to download an Undo / reversing script too. That way, "IF" I have a problem I can reverse the disabling script till I can sort it out. Right now I'm running MX linux on my desktop & my new-to-me used ThinkPad T430. I have Win10 on my laptop's Seagate Momentus Thin 32GB HDD & on a SSD in my desktop. I want to copy the HDD to another SSD for my T430 but I've been having issues w/ it. ATM I'm running MX on a Live-USB w/ persistence but I expect to install it to a SSD soon. I'm waiting on a new battery as the old one is pretty weak. BTW I clicked the 'Like' button, & watched till the end-hopefully helpful. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor! P.S. Any tips on how to check to see if I need a particular service? Thank you in advance fro you kind assistance.

I had a hard time with the click-to-run-service for office, disabling wasn't enough though. Thanks to this and all your previous content, I became smart enough to find out what trick to use to remove the whole thing. Disable the service, remove from register and remove the installation folder. Missing one of these steps resulted in reinstall and refiring of the annoiying 30016-26 error and restart of the service, even when disbled by me. Guess it came with 20H2 update. Lot of crap comes with that update. But the good is, somehow my memory usage went down drastically. At least this update works fine for me now. Disabled all future updates to be sure MS won't screw me again with crappy updates. And wait for the next big update to b stable enough to download when it arrives.
