    Is it safe to susped non-essential Windows processes/services ?


    Hey,
    i was thinking... there are a lot of useless services, that are running on background. For some services startup parameters are greyed out. You can change that in registry. But i heard it is not good idea to turn these off: e.g. One Sync, Contact Data, HTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery etc. In particular these services, which have weird appendix like 5ec88... I turn only off - services which i know, or which shouldn't affect anything. Also i don't know why Microsoft Passport can't be turned off, i am not using smart cards. Or something like Sync Host, or Contact Data.

    So i don't wanna turn off services, which are greyed out in regedit, even these are not core system services. But could affect something, similarly like with Cortana. So what about suspending them, according this article, you can suspend services. I didn't know that - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/suspend-service?view=powershell-7

    Also you can suspend processes for sure, so i was thinking what about suspending some windows processes, under which these services running, so they don't consume CPU cycles and don't cause input lag. Unless multiple services are grouped under same svchost, but that can be checked with process explorer. Would that be safe to do, instead of just disabling them ?

    Btw anyone know what is Display Policy service, or Display Enhancement service ? And whether it is needed for anything ?

    :)

    ESSENTIAL STARTUP PROCESSES FOR WINDOWS 10

    There is no list of "essential" startup processes because processes related to hardware differ from machine to machine. Also, what might be "essential" in your case might be irrelevant to someone else. Why the interest?
