Feature Request - disable more useless services

Open Felipefpl opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, i'd like to give a suggestion: it'd be good if you added the services found in the sites below to make windows 10 faster/lighter:

Disabling the services listed here is not a good idea, in my opinion.

For example, although Remote Registry and Retail Demo Service can be safely disabled, the Print Spooler service is required for printing functionality. Similarly, the Bluetooth Support Service is required for Bluetooth connectivity and some people may use Bitlocker for encryption.

If you're really keen on disabling services, I would recommend following the Black Viper’s Windows 10 Service Configurations instead. Select Manual instead of Disabled whenever in doubt.

You could also try the official Autoruns tool by Microsoft. It hides core services by default so you probably won't break anything.

First of all thank you for the hint about sysinternals. :+1:

But i disagree about print spooler/bluetooth, i dont use any (and i think i'll hardly have any of them here) and i believe most of ppl dont use those stuff, it can be disabled safely (like every option in privatezilla it will be an optional setting in the end). ;)
