Windows is notorious for having useless features and CPU resource hogging programs/services enabled by default. Today’s post is about removing some of the useless services. Services are kind of like startup programs, they are usually not necessary, they slow down your computer, and they slow down the boot up process; however, some are useful so thats why I have made a list of ones to get rid of.0
To turn off services in windows you go to Start > Run > Type: ‘services.msc‘ > Double Click on the service you want to alter and change the startup type to disabled or manual as directed in the list of unnecessary services below.
1. To get started, open up your Control Panel. Select Uninstall a program from the Programs section.
2. In the left column, select Turn Windows features on or off.
3.And now scroll through the features and services. Hover your mouse over each item for a slightly more detailed explanation of that feature.
4.To expand a list, select the small + (plus sign) next to it.
5.Remove the check mark from any of the items you’re sure you don’t need. In the example below, I’ve removed the check next to Tablet PC Optional Components because I don’t have a Tablet PC, don’t foresee getting one any time soon, and therefore have no need for those services.Some Windows features are grouped together in folders, and some folders contain subfolders with additional features. If a check box is partially checked or appears dark, then some of the items inside the folder are turned on and some are turned off. To view the contents of a folder, double-click it.

Hi there

If you just want to use your computer for your work. Maybe you don't use a display or you do but your display is old and these animations will only slow your display and possibly slow down your computer, in this case you would really want to turn off all unnecessary animations. Follow the steps below and they will be turned off in no time at all.

some are useful so thats why I have made a list of ones to get rid of.0 To turn off services in windows you go to Start > Run > Type: ‘services.msc‘ > Double Click on the service you want to alter and change the startup type to disabled or manual as directed in the list of unnecessary services below.

* Indexing Service: Turn it off, it uses lots of CPU
