Note that anything marked "manual" means it won't start unless some program starts it. Disabling ActiveX when it's manual and not running already is just breaking things unnecessarily.
@@Oops-IMeantToDoThat Right. And that could break whatever that task was supposed to do, if it was actually necessary to the program running. (For example, a VPN program might launch the service that does the encryption and such when you connect the VPN, which would fail if you disabled it.) You can also wind up with desktop-launched programs starting support services.
I would guess that 'Manual' means the service isn't running until it's called upon to run. If I'm right then disabling it is likely to make virtually no difference at all. Disabling the print spooler is not advisable because one day - when you've forgotten that you disabled it; and how you disabled it - and you try to print you'll tear your hair out in frustration as to why printing doesn't work.
@@EasyTechGeek Yes. It can always be enabled again but my point was: Many will forget about it and how to activate it again. Anyway, thanks for the info in the video. It's always nice to see content that educates ordinary end-users as to how to gain more control over their computer.
Additionally certain windows updates will disable the print-spooler. But if like me. While I do not have a standard printer anymore... I do have a label printer. disabling the print spooler always makes me think my printer is broke
Remember to create a system restore point before disabling the services in case you experience any issues. Great video btw it helped me reduce CPU usage which is always high for me. Keep up the good work mate❤❤
I always create a system restore point before doing anything that might screwup windows also when i install certain software just in case i get a problem. In fact i think he should have said this at the start of the video.
Thanks for this awesome video! Can this procedure be used to eliminate or disable Edge? It keeps wanting to invade my choice for Google as my search engine.
Keep these on manual their oftenly used in your day to day basis. Disabling them means your never using them ever. (ActiveX Installer) (Print Spooler) (IP Helper) (Geolocation Service) (Windows Biometric Service)
Do not need to STOP prior to setting Disabled. Nor do you have to click APPLY prior to OK. Services which cannot disable immediately, will do so on restart (required to finalize and confirm updates).
@kikiOfc_ Although counter intuitive, you'll still be able to use Windows Search even if disabled. It will run only when needed, as opposed to indexing whenever it pleases.
Useless info as most of the services he disabled were NOT running (manually started as needed) and therefore wouldn't effect performance of the system.
I'm noticing people are obsessed with "optimizing" Windows and getting the amount of running processes as low as possible. Chris Titus has a video where he got the processes down to 40, which is just absurd. You're gimping Windows and its functionality so much by disabling everything. Most of those processes don't even use any CPU time.
One has to use an obsessed frame of mind because there's probably 100 settings that can be adjusted on a computer to get my boot up time reduced from 17 seconds to 5.5 none of the adjustments disabled services that were used
Windows search indexing service is a nasty useless process that more often than not is slowing down your ssds and hdds and slowing down searching itself because of how poorly its implemented and thought out. Disabling it does not disable the search function, just the indexing.
@@lanelesic i have disabled it but for some reason my settings is lagging very hard and became slow but I have a ssd, my settings were smooth but suddenly it became laggy and slow also particular the "lock screen settings" when I search and click freezes my settings and it comes back a few minutes later
@@Stormie21 Look into your ssd usage in resource monitor to see which processes are using the ssd. None of what you describe has any relevance to the windows search service.
Thank you. Even if I don't notice a speed change (haven't rebooted yet), you still helped me spy proof my machine a little more. Look into VPN's and VM's (virtual machines) and Linux Mint, which looks and acts a lot like regular Windose (it is a pun), but without all the bloat and spyware. The first time I ran Linux, it felt like I had doubled the number of cores in my machine it ran so fast compared to Windows. You have my like and sub.
This is great, thank you for sharing! I have used Windows since the 3.0 days and always disable whatever I can. I did not know about some of these services, every bit of saved CPU cycles helps 😁
Excellent, just found your channel, i have Subscribed. After next Windows Update will they all be altered back? Just a thought do a Restore Point before any changes to be on the safe side.
I really liked the video, I love learning the little secrets of windows. I was going to subscribe, but I must have already enjoyed the first video I watch, I was already subscribed. lol
i found windows search indexing service not being useless to me since it really does nto slow my ssd down at all even if i do all these things to get more performance and speed
Yet another informative video, thanks for your time and effort to make these tutorials. Your voice is always calm and relaxing, my go to channel, cheers.
Theres maybe one game called State Of Decay2 on Steam which Asked to be signed in with Xbox Account, if disabling all the xbox services, will it conflict with that game ? or are those Sevices for something else? i dont use a xbox controller nor do i ues anything but the game i mentioned, which was simply i guess syncing that game to an xbox account. Thank you for sharing, i do have lots of Pressecces running in Task manager.
Thanks, newly subbed. Some things I know already, but many I don't. I like how you take the fear from some users to ever mess with anything on their pc's. When I first started using pc's they only said to me C:\ that scared me as well until someone told me how it worked.
Short answer: No Long answer: It might indirectly improve performance by stopping these services using up CPU time, but I would say it will not be enough to see a performance increase of any notice.
yes, i followed this advice ? and the performance is noticeable? .. alongside the security attributes of REMOTE DESKTOP shut down!?. My system, like many is just a cheap ASUS note book with FIXED ram FIXED Processor No Fan "UN-SERVICEABLE" only up gradable.. like phones and most technology of today! ... so, you can try keep it running in shape or just be ready to pay that cost Again! sooner than planned ...
this fix made no difference at all,......but then again no TH-cam quick fix. makes a difference either,....seems to me if you want a faster pc. BUY A NEW ONE,....maybe they are made to go slow over time so “my fix” buy a new one, is the only one that will work
@@EasyTechGeek I Watched the other video idid all those actions last week from another “make your pc faster” video ,it made no difference I will try again sometime this week following your guide,..if nothing happens this next time I will smash it , the frustration is getting to me.
@@Ninurtha1 Actually now it is better. You seem to be using very outdated information and haven't actually looked at gaming benchmarks recently. When you are 150 years old you will still be on TH-cam telling people how great windows 10 is.

That’s true but when u turn ur pc off it is still taking in electric same with manual just acts like a resistor but still adds pressure

Connected Telemetry is needed for Gamers, achievements will not pop-up if disabled. Example is Forza Games in Windows Store.
You still get achievements though, just won't get the notification. I actually prefer it that way. I have the Xbox app on my phone and that dings.

Excellent, just found your channel, i have Subscribed. After next Windows Update will they all be altered back? Just a thought do a Restore Point before any changes to be on the safe side.
Yes Restore Point is fine. You can do that.
All of these services you disabled where not even running to begin with. Windows 11 can manage this perfectly fine nowadays.
I have just followed the way you adviced. Need to wait for the results. I will post the results later.
So how were the results? :D
