Disable unnecessary services in Windows 7

System services in Windows are much more than the needs of the user. They hang in the background, performing useless work, loading the system and computer itself. But all unnecessary services can be stopped and completely disconnecting to unload the system slightly. The increase will be small, but on very weak computers will definitely notice.

  • Windows Search. - File search service on a computer. Disable if you use third-party programs.
  • Windows archiving - Creating backup copies of important files and operating system itself. Not the most reliable way to create backup copies, really good ways are looking for in the details of this article below.
  • Computer browser - If your computer is not connected to the home network or not connected to other computers, then the operation of this service is useless.

  • Print Manager - If you do not use the printer on this computer.
  • NetBIOS Support Module via TCP / IP - The service also provides the operation of the device on the network, most often it is not needed by the usual user.
  • Public Group Supplier - Again the network (this time only a home group). We also turn off if you do not use.
  • Server - This time the local network. Do not use, admit.
  • Tablet PC Input Service - A completely useless thing for devices that have never worked with touch peripherals (screens, graphic tablets and other input devices).

  • Smart Map. - Another forgotten service, unnecessary to most ordinary users.
  • Themes - If you are a classic style adherent and do not use third-party design themes.

In no case, do not disconnect the services in the destination of which are not sure. First of all, it concerns the protective mechanisms of anti-virus programs and firewalls (although competently configured means of protection will not allow themselves to disable themselves). Be sure to write to which services you have made changes so that in the event of a malfunction, it was possible to turn on everything back.

On powerful computers, the increase in productivity may not even be noticeable, but more old working machines will accurately slander a slightly released RAM and unloaded processor.
