Windows 10: how to disable contact data_40b1b service and such ?

These services with numbers cannot be disabled, it says parameter incorrect and even in regedit if i set it to 4. It still starts. I don't use sync, or mail, etc. There 2 services in regedit of same name, one with number and one without, i disabled both and it still starts. So annoying...

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

new contacts not useable


Thanks for your suggestions Ken. I tried them but I still cannot email new additions to my contacts list

 

Suggestions on services to disable?

I was expecting this. Haha. You probably don't advise of deleting Cortana, Windows Feedback, or Contact Support either.
