Windows 10: Some gotchas for the performance paranoid users

Being one myself, my system is as trim as possible. But there are several illogical and infuriating cross-links in how Windows 10 performs. This is just info for any one interested. Trying to be helpful *Smile

I don't use a Microsoft account. Never will. I will never use the store or cloud storage.
So, I disabled the AppXsvc service. This is for store apps only... Well, actually, it controls personalization options. If you disable this service the Themes page on Personalize will crash.

I don't use tiles. I use ClassicShell for my start menu. So I disabled the Tile Data Model Server service. This causes the logon process to be extended by 20+ seconds and causes other problems with context menu functionality.

If you don't have a Wi-fi adapter in your PC it would seem reasonable that you could disable the Radio Management service. Nope. Doing so forces the PC into a Sort-of-airplane mode that kills access to your network connections from every entry point (Eg System Tray, Settings app etc).

If you have a Wi-Fi adapter in your PC but disabled in BIOS W10 ignores the fact that it's disabled and enables it itself, installs drivers and enables your wi-fi connections.

So if you're one of those people who like to take your tuning to the extreme, watch out for these ones.

Any one know of any others?

gotcha, thanks!

 

Disabling RmSvc will prevent displaying list of available WiFi networks, I have not noticed what you are mentioning, unless you mean, that it shows, no internet connection. Then again, unless you change network settings on daily basis, it is not really a problem. I have Network Store Interface disabled actually. *Smile

 

This relates to this post..

Network icon showing but clicking does nothing Solved - Windows 10 Forums

I have a list of network connections that I select from. VPN L2TP, IKEv2, and I have multiple Ethernet adapters as I have two networks here and I can change between them. So when this service is disabled, I cannot select the network connection I want to use.... There is just no way as all entry points are disabled.

My Wi-Fi is disabled in the BIOS but W10 still installs drivers and enables it. Hence, why the service is running. I never use Wi-Fi and would remove the adapter from my motherboard if I could.
