Windows 10: what services should I disable if I want better performance?

Helllo!It's been a long time since I've posted on here, I think.Anyways, I'm wanting to know what applications are completely safe to uninstall through Powershell, I've already gotten rid of some such as your phone, maps, and Cortana, I made sure these can be reinstalled later from the store, and they can thankfully, but as for now I don't have a use for any one of them.I'm also wondering what services I should also disable if I want to get more performance out of my cpu and intergrated graphics processor.Specs:Intel pentuim n3700, 4 cores, 1.6ghz.8Gb ram, ddr3.and a Kingston a400 SSD that I g

How to disable windows defender for long time?

Hi Andrew,

If I understand you correctly you are willing to disable Windows Defender from your system. I would like to know few more things to understand the issue in a better way.

• Why are you trying to disable Windows Defender? Are you planning to install any third party security software?
• From where you have followed the steps to disable Windows defender using registry?
• Are you logged in as Administrator?

The steps which you have mentioned to disable Windows Defender using gpedit.msc is correct. If you are unable to disable it then you may do that by stopping the service responsible for Windows Defender. Here are steps which you may follow to perform the
same task.

• Press Windows key + R to open run box.
• Type services.msc and hit enter.
• There should be 2 services: Windows Defender Service
  and Windows Defender Network14.
• Right click on each and press stop.

If you will stop the service responsible for Windows Defender then it will not run till it is stopped. Do get back to us with all the information required and result of proposed suggestion. We will be happy to assist you further.

Regards,

 

Will disabling windows font cache service impact performance?

Im using NexusFonts and windows font cache service makes it painfully slow.
When i searched for solution for this, every solution i came across suggest to disable Windows Font Cache Service.

And it does solves the problem and while before nexus fonts takes about 2min to load my fonts, now it takes only few seconds.

But my main question is what actually happens when i disabled font cache service, will it impact system performance,
what happens to the fonts in new applications.
As windows is not caching fonts anymore will it conflicts with something,
how windows will handle fonts now on.
