    Safe Services Configurations?


    I always highly edit my services. I don't want 80 programs running in the background from my PC. So these are the services I've disabled. I would like to know if I've done anything unsafe, and if there are other services I can safely disable.


    • AllJoyn Router Service - supposedly disables Miracast, except it still works for me.
    • BranchCache
    • Certificate Propogation
    • Distributed Link Tracking Coordinator - hurts ability to "share" files.
    • Downloaded Maps Manager
    • ​Geolocation Service
    • HomeGroup Listener
    • HomeGroup Provider
    • Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
    • IP Helper
    • Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service
    • Netlogon
    • Offline Files
    • Print Spooler
    • Peer Name Resolution Protocol
    • Peer Networking Grouping
    • Peer Networking Identity Manager
    • Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
    • Remote Access Connection Manager
    • Remote Desktop Configuration
    • Remote Desktop Services
    • Remote Registry
    • Retail Demo Service
    • Routing and Remote Access
    • Secondary Logon
    • Server - disables ability to "share" files.
    • Shell Hardware Detection - disables autoplay, and increases security against rootkits.
    • Smartcard
    • SNMP Trap
    • Storage Service
    • Superfetch
    • Telephony
    • Windows Backup
    • Windows Error Reporting Service
    • Windows Image Acquisition

    disabling some microsoft services to reduce running service and improve performance

    Hi Mhazter

    It is not longer possible to disable the Windows Update service and for most of the Microsoft Services, those will just be restarted by the system when Windows requires them

    Rarely are Microsoft Services the cause of a slow system, try the following to see if your system performance improves:

    Turn off all unnecessary startup applications and processes:

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Click on the Startup Tab

    See any non-essential items are listed there

    If so, select and click 'Disable'

    Close Task Manager

    Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

    When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

    Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

    In the remaining list, see any non-essential items are listed there, uncheck any you find

    Click Apply and OK

    Turn off all unnecessary Background Apps

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Privacy - Background Apps

    Turn off any App you do not need running in the background

    Restart your PC
