To optimize the speed a little Windows operation, you can turn it off necessary services, however, the question arises: what services can be disabled? It is this question that I will try to answer in this article.
I note that disabling Windows services will not necessarily lead to any significant improvement in system performance: often the changes are simply unnoticeable. Another important point: perhaps in the future one of the disabled services may turn out to be necessary, so do not forget about which ones you disabled.
How to disable Windows services
To display a list of services, click Win keys+ R on your keyboard and enter the command services.msc, press Enter. You can also go to the panel Windows management, open the Administrative Tools folder and select Services. Don't use msconfig.
To change the parameters of a particular service, double-click on it (you can right-click and select “Properties” and set the necessary startup parameters. For Windows system services, a list of which will be given below, I recommend setting the Startup type to “Manual” rather than “ Disabled" In this case, the service will not start automatically, but if required for the operation of any program, it will be launched.
Note: You perform all actions at your own responsibility.
List of services that can be disabled in Windows 7 to speed up your computer
It is safe to disable the following Windows 7 services (enable manual startup) in order to optimize system performance:
- Remote registry (it’s even better to disable it, this can have a positive effect on security)
- Smart card - can be disabled
- Print Manager (if you don't have a printer and aren't printing to files)
- Server (if the computer is not connected to local network)
- Computer browser (if your computer is offline)
- Homegroup provider - if the computer is not in work or home network, this service can be disabled.
- Secondary login
- NetBIOS support module over TCP/IP (if the computer is not on a work network)
- Security Center
- Tablet PC input service
- Service Windows scheduler Media Center
- Themes (if you are using the classic Windows theme)
- Secure storage
- BitLocker Drive Encryption Service - If you don't know what it is, you don't need it.
- Bluetooth Support - If your computer doesn't have Bluetooth, you can turn it off
- Portable Device Enumerator Service
- Windows Search (if you don't use the search feature in Windows 7)
- Remote Desktop Services - You can also disable this service if you don't use
- Windows Backup - if you don’t use it and don’t know why it’s needed, you can turn it off.
- Center Windows updates- can be disabled only if you have already disabled Windows updates.
In addition to this, programs that you install on your computer can also add their own services and run them. Some of these services are needed - antivirus, utility software. Some others - not so much, in particular this applies to update services, which are usually called Program_Name + Update Service. For the browser, Adobe Flash or antivirus updates are important, but, for example, for DaemonTools and others application programs- Not good. These services can also be disabled, this applies equally to Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Services that can be safely disabled in Windows 8 and 8.1
In addition to the services listed above, to optimize system performance, the following system services can be safely disabled in Windows 8 and 8.1:
- BranchCache - just disable
- Client for tracking changed connections - similar
- Family Safety - If you don't use Windows 8 Family Safety, you can disable this service
- All Hyper-V services - provided you are not using Hyper-V virtual machines
- Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service
- Windows Biometric Service
As I said, disabling services will not necessarily make your computer noticeably faster. You should also take into account that disabling some services may cause problems in the operation of some third party program, which enables this service.
More information about disabling Windows services
In addition to everything that has been listed, I would like to draw your attention to the following points:
- Windows service settings are global, meaning they apply to all users.
- After changing (disabling and enabling) service settings, restart your computer.
- It is not recommended to use msconfig to change Windows service settings.
- If you are not sure whether to disable a service, set the startup type to Manual.
Well, it seems that this is all I can tell you about which services to disable and not regret about it.
What Windows operating systems have always been famous for is their rich functionality, which means a good expenditure of computer resources on those functions that you may never use. This article will focus on services, as some of them not only consume resources, but are also an excellent backdoor for viruses.
To be more precise, we will look at: what services are and why they are needed, how to enable and disable services in Windows 7, which Windows services can be disabled, etc. Let's start in order.
2 How to disable services in Windows 7?
This is done quite simply. Regardless Windows versions, go to computer management and select services.
A list of applications will appear in front of you.
By the way, in advanced mode you can see what each application is responsible for and whether it is enabled or not. To do this, click on any of the services with the left mouse button.
To disable and configure the launch of a service, you need to go to its properties.
How to start a Windows service? In the same way, we launch it in the application properties. If you need it to work all the time, then select to start Windows services automatically. If you need it occasionally, then select the startup type - manually.
If the Windows service fails to start, we look for the problem either in the application settings; if everything is ok with the settings, then most often viruses have damaged it. I recommend installing . The problem of launching some applications is a topic for entire articles, so as the problem becomes more urgent, articles with a step-by-step solution will be published. In order not to miss - .
2.1 Which Windows services can be disabled?
Let's move on to the most interesting part. List of services that I disable:
- Windows Search
- Offline files
- Network Access Protection Agent
- Computer browser
- IP Ancillary Service
- Secondary login
- Grouping of network participants
- Dispatcher automatic connections remote access
- Print Manager (only if you are not using a printer)
- Remote Access Connection Manager (if not using virtual network- VPN)
- Network Member Identity Manager
- Performance Logs and Alerts
- Setting up a Remote Desktop Server
- Smart Card Removal Policy
- Homegroup Listener
- Collector Windows events
- Network login
- Tablet PC input service
- Windows Image Upload (WIA) service
- Windows Media Center Scheduler Service
- Smart card
- Diagnostic system unit
- Diagnostic Service Node
- Fax (if not used)
- Performance counter library host
- Security Center
- Windows Update
You can also disable other unnecessary Windows 7 services. But before disabling, I recommend reading what this application means and only then disabling it.
2.2 How to remove a Windows service?
To remove unnecessary services, go to the application properties using the algorithm described above. Stop the service if it is running and copy its name.
sc delete “Update Jump Flip” (enter the copied service name in quotes)
If the application name consists of one word, then enter the same command only without quotes, for example:
sc delete SysMain
Important: When deleting a service, be careful, as this process is not reversible. Before uninstalling, be sure to read the functions and purpose of the application.
That's all, after disabling unnecessary services Windows system Computer resources will be freed from unnecessary work. To effect Windows optimization was more noticeable, I advise you to read the previous articles:
Hello dear readers, today I would like to talk about:
1. ABOUT Windows services, what it is, what it is needed for and which ones are responsible for what.
2.And how can you increase the speed of your computer?
So what are these Windows services?
Services- applications that are automatically or manually launched by the system when Windows startup and various tasks performed regardless of the user’s status.
Open list of services can be done in several ways:
1. While holding windows button press R, a window will open, enter services.msc there
2. Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
3. Start > right-click on my computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services
As you can see, there are quite a lot of them in Windows and by downloading, you can familiarize yourself what services exist and what each of them is responsible for.
Since services are applications, they operate and use some of the computer's resources. you can improve its performance. Let's see what can be disabled.
What services can be disabled in Windows 7, 8
I did not make a list of those services that can be disabled, because... many services are individual. I just tried to describe each service and in what situations they can be disabled. If you need to turn something off mindlessly, then just use .
* BranchCache The service caches network content. If you don't use your home network, you can turn it off altogether.
* DHCP client - If you use the Internet, do not touch it under any circumstances. It is this service that assigns you an IP address.
* DNS client — It is also a necessary service for using the Internet. Works with your DNS (serves in the right directions).
* KtmRm for distributed transaction coordinator - system transaction function. We leave it the same way.
* Microsoft .NET Framework - We leave all such services as is. They serve for normal operation most applications.
* Parental Controls - Service for parental controls. If you don't use it, you can turn it off.
* Plug-and-Play serves for automatic recognition of changes in the system. For example, when you connect a flash drive, this service wakes up... So we leave it as it is.

I tried to present the entire list of services. By disabling some, you will improve the performance of your computer. You can also decide at your own discretion which ones are needed and which ones are not. For example, if there is no Internet, then you can safely cut half of it; if there is no printer, then you can also turn off a lot. Thus, depending on your needs, you can significantly invigorate your old computer.
I decided to write this article after starting a search for adequate materials about what services can be turned off in Windows 10 for more fast work operating system. On the Internet, as always, there are many different opinions. I studied them, summarized them and tried to draw general conclusions. I will not advise which services can definitely be disabled. Much in this matter depends on the individual parameters of the computer, the needs and tastes of users. Personally, on my weak netbook with Windows 10, I disabled all the services listed below - otherwise it remained an insane slowdown (I wrote more about all the measures taken to overclock my netbook in the article Optimizing and speeding up Windows 10 on a weak computer). On desktop computer I preferred not to touch anything and leave all settings at default. You must decide for yourself whether it is worth completely disabling some services that are running by default.
Some recommend creating a system restore point before experimenting with disabling services. Personally, I didn't do this. If only because it is not difficult for me, if suddenly it is needed, clean install Windows 10.
In general, without extreme necessity It's better not to disable any services in Windows 10 . This, in my opinion, can be done only when there are problems with low computer performance and you really need to overclock it at least a little.
Let me briefly remind you how to get to these same Services: click with the RIGHT mouse button on the menu Start, select the item “ Computer management", in the column on the left, double-click to open the item " Services and applications", then " Services" The service is disabled after double-clicking on it: in the item in the window that opens, select “ Startup type: Disabled».
On my insanely weak netbook, I turned off the following services quite painlessly:
- NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service- this service is intended for NVidia video cards(You may not have it if you use a different video card). If you do not use 3D stereo images, then this service can be turned off.
- Windows Search- with the help of this service in Windows 10 and earlier versions starting from “seven”, a search works across the contents of the computer. It is represented by the opportunity to find necessary files, folders and programs through a magnifying glass in the Control Panel, and is also implemented in the form search string in any folder. In fact, indexing the contents of your computer can waste quite a lot of valuable resources, so if this functionality is not critical for you and you want to speed up your operating system, try disabling this search service.
- Offline files- a service that allows you to work autonomously with files available on the internal (local) network. As I understand it, you can safely disable it if the computer is not connected to any other network other than the Internet.
- Windows Biometric Service- used for processing and storing biometric data. In my opinion, everything is clear here: if we don’t use fingerprint login or other biometric methods, we can easily turn it off.
- Computer browser- used to create a list of computers on the network and provide it to programs upon request. Yet again this service needed only on a local network.
- Windows Firewall- protects your computer from unauthorized access from the Internet. If you have another firewall installed (for example, Comodo), feel free to disable it. In other cases, it’s better not to touch it.
- IP Ancillary Service- supports IPv6 network protocol. It is not needed very often, but it is necessary to look specifically at each case individually. If after turning it off the Internet continues to work normally, then you do not need it.
- Secondary login- provides login to Windows from multiple accounts. If there is only one, then you can safely turn it off.
- Grouping of network participants- organizes multi-user interaction in a peer-to-peer network. Simply put, it is needed if you have a local network or home group. Turn it off if there is none.
- Print Manager- a service that allows you to queue print jobs and provides interaction with the printer. If there are no printers, you can disable it.
- Remote Access Connection Manager- when this service is removed, the browser will not attempt to connect to the Internet when working with pages with updating elements. As I understand it, it is better not to disable .
- Network Member Identity Manager- used to identify local network participants. Turn it off if you don't use HomeGroup.
- Performance Logs and Alerts- this service, as the name suggests, collects data on computer performance. You can turn it off.
- CNG Key Isolation- needed for cryptographic processes, helps to safely store the user’s private keys from running processes. I’m still figuring out what it is and what it’s eaten with.
- Routing and remote access- provides routing for organizations in local and global networks. If there is no local network, turn it off.
- IPsec Key Modules- for Internet key exchange and IP protocol with authentication. As I understand it, you can turn it off painlessly.
- Setting up a Remote Desktop Server- Responsible for setting up and maintaining Remote Desktop Services and Remote Access sessions. If there is no local network, turn it off.
- SSDP detection- enables detection of UPnP devices on the home network. The necessity of this house is questioned by many experts. Better turn it off.
- Smart Card Removal Policy- if you do not use them (smart cards), turn them off.
- Software Shadow Copy Provider (Microsoft)- can be turned off if you do not plan to use the system restore function.
- Homegroup Listener- if you don't use it home group, it's better to turn it off.
- Work folders- used to synchronize folders on various devices. Thanks to this, they can be used on any computer where this service is enabled. You can turn it off.
- Windows Event Collector- allows you to collect events from other computers. Turn it off.
- Server- If the function of accessing shared files and printers is not used, then this service can be disabled.
- Xbox Live Online Service- provides access to Xbox Live services. If you don't know what it is, turn it off.
- Network login- Provides end-to-end authentication. Not needed at home.
- Tablet PC input service- Enables pen and handwriting input on tablets. Turn it off on regular computers.
- Geographic Location Service- tracks computer coordinates. You can turn it off.
- Sensor Data Service- processes and stores information received from sensors installed on a PC.
- Sensor service- manages sensors on a PC. Don't understand what we're talking about? Turn it off.
- Windows Image Upload (WIA) service- can be turned off if you do not plan to connect a scanner or camera to the computer.
- Client License Service- ensures proper operation Windows Store 10. Disable it when not using it.
- AllJoyn Router Service- as far as I understand, you can turn it off, but I won’t give a guarantee.
- SMS Router Service Microsoft Windows - forwards messages according to pre-created rules. I'm figuring it out.
- Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service- provides the ability to share TCP ports using the Net.Tcp protocol. If the computer is not used as a server, then you can safely turn it off.
- Portable Device Enumerator Service- is responsible for the ability to synchronize and automatically play files from portable devices. Rarely used, can be turned off.
- Bluetooth support- everything is obvious here. If you don't use it, turn it off.
- Program Compatibility Assistant Service- Monitors programs for compatibility problems. Such situations (incompatibility) arise quite rarely and even when they do occur, this service is rarely able to help. Let's turn it off.
- Windows Error Logging Service- in case of any failures, sends error data to Microsoft so that the company can fix it. It's quite possible to turn it off.
- BitLocker Drive Encryption Service- makes it possible to encrypt disks. This function is used very rarely by home users. You can turn it off if you don’t understand why it is needed at all, or you simply don’t use it.
- Smart card- provides access to smart card readers. If there are none, you need to turn it off.
- Volume Shadow Copy- Creation backup content hard drive(For example, previous versions text files). If you don't plan to use recovery deleted files, turn off. This is also worth doing because the service consumes a lot of valuable resources and also performs recovery very slowly.
- Remote registry- used to change registry settings remote user. On home computer should be turned off.
- Application Identity- Helps AppLocker identify blocked applications. You can disable it if AppLocker is not used or you don’t even know what kind of beast it is.
- Diagnostic system unit- just turn off this unnecessary thing.
- Diagnostic Service Node- similar to the previous paragraph.
- Fax- Responsible for the operation of the fax machine. If you don't have it, feel free to turn it off.
- Performance counter library host- I still haven’t figured it out. Many people write that you can turn it off painlessly.
- Security Center- a service that monitors changes in settings and parameters Windows security 10. In particular, it controls antivirus software and firewall. If they are disabled or do not work correctly, this center gives the user a corresponding message. You can also turn it off.
- Windows Update- well, everything is clear here without comment: the service is responsible for updating the Windows 10 operating system. Whether to disable it or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
You can also turn off all services associated with hardware visualization Hyper-V- they are designed to work virtual machines and only a few need them. Wherever you see Hyper-V mentioned in the service name, you can disable it.
Some services in operating system Windows 10 appears when the user installs various programs. Many of them may also be unnecessary. But here everything is again very individual.
