Windows 10: What is "Windows Remediation Service" and how do I disable it?

A few days ago I noticed that my PC no longer goes to sleep based on inactivity (although I can manually put it to sleep). Today I ran "powercfg -requests" and sawEXECUTION:
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\rempl\sedlauncher.exe
SleepDeferralConditionsMet

PERFBOOST:
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\rempl\sedlauncher.exe
SleepDeferralConditionsMetSedlauncher is apparently part of Windows Remediation Service and, from scattered reports on the web, think it may have been part of KB4023057 that I installed about 2 weeks ago.

I see that Windows Remediation Service is a real service that I could (at least temporarily) disable but I don't know what this service does other than (apparently) keep sleepy computers awake. Is it safe to disable? And if I disable it, will it stay disabled, or does Microsoft re-enable it automatically?

I certainly don't consider the installation of Windows updates on Microsoft's schedule a valid reason to keep my PC awake.

Windows 7 services

You should just know which services to set to manual, there are a ton of them, starting with xp. The time service is the first one... unless you set it up properly, just disable it. Then remote registry, I don't need anyone else messing with my registry... disable, I don't use themes, disable, there are a few others too, then things like adobe update service, not needed, disable... it's not that hard to figure out what you can disable, or at least put to manual.
Edit: if you need suggestions, get The Ultimate Troubleshooter, not free, but it will show you how to do much of this.

 

Securing Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 services HOW TO

I will try changing their settings sometime, the one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it doesn't list the Windows services that NEED to be left as local system, so some people might not be too sure what they're doing and worry about any that aren't listed. Just a suggestion that you might want to include in any future revisions. *Smile

The non-default ones I have that you have not listed are:

.Net Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
AVG E-mail Scanner
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
BlueSoleil Hid Service
Bluetooth Support Service
ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
iPod Service
Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service
Service Layer
Windows Defender Service

The problem is that the only ones of these I actually use are The AVG and Windows Defender services and occasionally the "Service Layer" service (related to Nokia PC Suite) and the "Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service" (related to WindowsLive Messenger). Anyway, I'll see how much I can secure those and post back how I get on. I'll try to test it sometime this week just I'm a bit waring of changing the AVG settings because the only way to test if it was still working would be for a virus to be detected... and I' rather I didn't get viruses!
