  2. Is it safe to disable service Server?

    Thanks for sharing!

    However I was rather interested in that service that has display name Server and service name LanmanServer. I wanted to know if it is safe to disable it and if I do disable it, what else would break that I might not expect to break? I also was curious to know that online lists of services that are safe to disable usually dont mention it, and tutorials on dsabling network shares also usually dont mention that service. That made me ask if there was some good reason for that?

    Suggestions on services to disable?

    Disabling Windows services is risky with unpredictable results. The problem is that there is no complete list available anywhere that fully describes what each service does. Many do more than documented and unrelated things you would not expect. Incidentally, and contrary to frequent claims, setting a service start to "Manual" is NOT a safe alternative to disabling it. With this setting either an application or the system can start the service if it were needed. But you can't safely assume that this will actually happen.
