Disabling unnecessary services in Windows 10 to optimize the operation of the computer

Windows 10, although it is today one of the most advanced operating systems, still needs to "tune in". The problem is that unnecessary services in the active state are presented too widely. But this ordinary user is often not necessary.

Disabling unnecessary services in Windows 10: what can be extracted from this?

As you know, some background processes launched by the system at startup sometimes negatively affect the overall performance of the computer. And in Windows 10 there are so many of them that you simply marvel at it.

If you approach the question of how the optimization of Windows 10 is performed correctly and with all seriousness, you can quite simply increase the speed of the system and executable applications (even on machines with minimal configuration requirements like 2-core processor and 2 GB random access memory).

Installation issues

At the first stage, any user should pay attention to the suggested tips when installing the system. This applies to a "clean" installation, rather than using a trial version of the Technical Preview. When a window appears that describes the increase in the speed of the new system, you should pay attention to the hyperlink at the very bottom of the window, which takes the user into the advanced mode of settings.

This is where you can initially turn off the so-called telemetry and shadowing Windows 10, which is so "famous" for this system. Just rearrange all the sliders to the off position. Next, in the browser settings, we disable all components in the same way (even using SmartScreen).

Optimizing Windows 10: disabling unnecessary services in autorun

After installation, the first thing to do is check the startup items, and then there are too many start processes in this version of the system.

Disabling unnecessary services in Windows 10, as in any other similar system, is done through access to the menu responsible for autostart. This is the msconfig command in the "Run" menu (Win + R), where the corresponding tab is selected (in English version - Startup). Here you need to remove the tick from all automatically starting processes, regardless of even the audio or video console.

There is another paradox. If in earlier versions in the autostart section there was a ctfmon process (display of the keyboard layout in the system tray), the user is not available for editing in the new OS. You can enable or disable the language selection alarm or switch the keyboard layout only in the Control Panel. Maybe it's for the best.

Unused Windows Components

On setting up the autorun background processes should not stop. To manually optimize the system operation, you should also disable some services that can not be controlled from the standard system configuration settings.

Disabling of this type of services is done from the Programs and Components section in the Control Panel. Call it to not search for a long time, you can use the control command from the same console "Run".

Here we pay attention to the printing service. If no printer is connected to this computer terminal or laptop, or printing of documents is not supposed at all, this component can be safely turned off. Leave it worth only printing in PDF (the "native" utility of Microsoft, which is responsible only for exporting graphics and text).

Next, look at the status of the Hyper-V module. It is a virtual machine that allows you to install other systems and test third-party software. If it is not involved, turn it off immediately. Incidentally, it is worth checking the BIOS settings. In some cases, the module can be activated there.

Telemetry and tracking tools

Now the most important thing. If, for some reason, the shadowing setting during system installation was ignored, you can disable it when you enter the options menu, which is the so-called second "Control Panel". Here you need to use the privacy section, processing of keyboard, handwriting and voice input, sending messages with feedback, where it is desirable to disconnect everything completely.

This will relieve the user of some persistent reminders, although there may be problems with updating the system and installing updates designed exclusively for the region.

Brandmauer

And on this disabling unnecessary services in Windows 10 does not end. The built-in firewall often also delivers users a lot of problems. This is especially evident at the level of conflicts with antivirus software, if a free package is installed.

On the other hand, if a powerful scanner is provided in the system with all possible means of protection, it is meaningless to keep the firewall.

Optimization programs

Now another look at Windows 10. Disabling unnecessary services, the optimizer of any type produces similar algorithms. The processing concerns both startup items and defragmentation of the system registry (there is no means for this for the system itself), and fixes outdated or incorrect entries in it, and deletes the garbage, and defrags the hard disk.

By the way, defragmentation in most applications of this type works much more efficiently than own built-in tool of Windows 10. But in the "top ten" the disk management manager allows you to breakdown into logical partitions "on the fly", without reinstalling the system. And this can play a key role in storing data or accessing information of a certain type.

Conclusion

Of course, not all the tools described here allow you to disable unnecessary services in Windows 10, or so-called fine-tuning. However, it is necessary to pay attention to all the above-described components first of all.

With regard to the use of specialized programs, this is not always justified, because they clean the system, based on the state of performance or workload at the moment, and to the basic settings like disabling unused access components do not. Therefore, changes should be made on a complex basis, involving both manual modification of parameters, and program-optimizers, which today on the Internet can be found a great many. But you have to choose what to use. It is better to give preference to utilities like Windows 10 Manager, AVZ PC Tune Up, Advanced System Care and many others. They have a full set of tools for optimizing the system, which, if properly configured and used, can give the maximum performance effect.

As for disabling system components, you need to be very careful here, otherwise some people advise deactivating even TCP / IP services. What will come of this? But only that with any attempt to configure access to the network or the Internet, no matter how you try, there will be no connection. So, think for yourself whether it's worth it to turn off some elements and what this is fraught with. But the ordinary user can be fully trusted by the system's fate to optimizer programs that work in automatic mode. Nothing wrong with that.
