    blocking processes from running (not a service) safe or not ?


    I have 2 processes, which are completely pointless:
    1. gamebar presence writer
    2. setting sync host

    Both i don't need, but they run anyways on the background. I can block them using blocking program, but there is problem it need start with admin rights, which is problematic and annoying to make it working.

    And second i don't know if it is good idea to block process from running, even in this case, this is not some essential system process. Windows may use it for something else, so something could stop working, or some problems may occur, who knows...
    I was trying to google about disabling these processes and didn't find anything relevant. Can i disable these two processes safely ? By editing file and renaming it ? In case of gamedvr, i have it already disabled and this process still running...

    :)

  2. System process blocks Port 80

    You clearly don't understand the problem here. But I was able to solve it by doing the following:

    • Activate IIS
    • In Services disable the IIS service
    • Reboot
    • Port 80 is no longer blocked by the System process

  3. vmware authorization service is not running

    Hi Veerendra,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Follow these steps:

    • Click Programs and Features, "Turn Windows Features On/Off" and remove VM Role. Restart and test. If not, process with step 2.
    • Restart computer -> go to BIOS -> disable virtualization -> install Vmvare -> Restart the computer -> go to BIOS again -> Enable Virtualization
    We also suggest you to perform a
    clean boot
    to check and then try to install/uninstall the program and check if you’re able to uninstall the software.

    Lastly, we recommend you to run this
    troubleshooter
    to fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
