  1. What services can be disabled if Windows is used only to surf the Net?


    Last year, Windows 10 crashed my PC repeatedly. See Is it a hardware problem which has nothing to do with Windows? - Windows 10 Forums
    This year, I have used Linux instead of Windows 10, which will only be used in VirtualBox occasionally.
    So far, Linux has never crashed my PC, while Windows 10 sometimes does in VirtualBox.
    I suspect my motherboard, GIGABYTE GA-H81M-DS2, is not fully compatible with Windows 10. I want to disable some (or most) Windows services as a test and see whether the problem can be fixed. Assuming I use Windows 10 only to surf the Net, what services can be disabled?

    :)

    DIsable Internet Information Services and NET Framework 3.5.1

    Internet Information Services
    Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core

    My PC is not a workstation, nor it is a client to one. It is not on a WAN or in some local homegroup, remote access services are also disabled. So..

    Do i really need those IIS?

    NET Framework 3.5.1 - since i have installed NET Framework 4.5.2, can i disable NET Framework 3.5.1 or is it a must feature, without which the 4.5.2 will not work?

    Windows update installed all the 4.5.2 NET Framework updates, but i did not select any 3.5.1 updates - should i install them (if i keep the 3.5.1 NET Framework in my Windows services).

  3. DIsable Internet Information Services and NET Framework 3.5.1

    U can disable IIS if u want.... Net 3.5 is required to run certain apps, 4.5 is newer but doesn't replace the old 3.x versions.

    Kinda makes me wonder why 3.5 requires a separate install on W10.....

    You can probably disable IIS without any issues. .NET framework 3.5.1 is required for a number of applications and services to run correctly.
