Hi,

How can I post default services list for your expert views (which I haven't tried tweaking, till now) apart from taking screenshots using snipping...… to export?

Thanks.

Why? do you have a problem with your computer? If so start a thread detailing the problem; just showing everybody your services export is useless.

No problem, just to see if any service of no use is running to stop it.

If it's working fine then just leave it alone; the surest way to screw it up is by messing with things you don't need to.

Back when we only had 2 - 4GB of RAM, we often tweaked Services and usually screwed something up!
Systems today, including yours, are more than capable of running all Services and then some!
Best to leave it be.

It looks like the OP was wishing to examine their currently running services because of this thread - System Restore?
All good, Op makes about 15 threads every now and then looking to change everything, Even the same threads that have been previously answered months prior, Get started again with mostly the same question and also mostly for 0 reason lol.
I like you alexey but damn son gotta stop changing stuff just because

Since it's not been mentioned here, I guess no one has read the Black Viper's expose' on Windows Services.
For the past several versions of Windows, "The Black Viper", on his website has listed all the services in Windows, and which ones can be Shut OFF and which ones can be put into Manual mode, to be run only when needed. He has become the defacto Expert on Windows services.
Using the information gathered from his website, I wrote a little program, (Batch File) that would shut down many services that I would NEVER, EVER, use even on the windiest day.
I can't help but feel that by shutting down things I don't need, I'm improving my own computer's performance.
I've done the same thing in 'Task Manager'.

A part of my hobby is getting the very best performance out of my PC, that's humanly possible. I've been at it for over 40 years, and every time I get a version of Windows all tweaked and tuned for best performance, MS throws a new OS in the game, and I start over.

The program I use to shut down services is actually a batch file. Here are just the first few lines of that file:

@echo off
cls
rem This batch file will Stop selected Services and set them to Disabled.
rem The following are a few examples of task name vs actual program name.
rem Schedule = Task Scheduler
rem Themes = Themes
rem W32Time = Windows Time
rem SysMain = Superfetch
rem WinDefend = Windows Defender
rem
sc config Appinfo start= demand
sc stop Appinfo

sc config ALG start= demand
sc stop ALG

sc config AppMgmt start= demand
sc stop AppMgmt

sc config wbengine start= demand
sc stop wbengine

sc config CertPropSvc start= disabled
sc stop CertPropSvc


It took quite a while, to write that batch file, and I've not re-written it for Win-10 or Win-11.
I just run the batch file as it is, on Win 10 or 11, and then I run Services.msc and go in and disable those new services that I know I will never need.

This is MY thing, and I know it's not for everyone. So I seldom ever mention it. But it's been an integral part of every Windows install I've done for a long time now, including Windows 11/Pro/64.

My last Win-11 install only took about 30 minutes, but then I've spent hours tweaking and tuning Win-11 for improved performance and user convenience.

Happy Trails, Mates,
TM :cool:
PS: I just tried to access the Black Viper's website and it seems to be Closed.
However there are other articles on disabling Windows Services, just search for them.
My "Stop Services" batch file is available in its entirety, to anyone wanting it. PM me.

Things change:
I just searched for the Black Viper and found his website open again. But, he no longer uses Windows, and his last posted info about Windows was for Win-10 and he states he will not post anything for Win-11.
His listing for Win-10 Services is 897 lines long, for anyone who wants to read through it , or copy it, 20 lines at a time into Wordpad, etc.
I won't!

But, for Win-11, I just run my batch file for earlier windows, and then go in manually to "Services.msc" and I disable the new entries that I don't want running, like everything concerning X-box, etc.
I know some self proclaimed "Experts" will say that shutting off unneeded Services will avail nothing, but windows is already like a 1/4 ton pickup truck with 1 ton of gravel on board. Every shovel full of gravel that you remove takes just that much load off of the engine.

Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?

I think "just my opinion", in this day and age, with modern computers you end up gaining so little by spending all of this time trying to squeeze more juice from the orange.

Way back in the day, with mechanical hard drives and small amounts of RAM and inefficient designs of Windows, you could make some weeks and via a stopwatch you could actually notice that you shaved off 30 seconds off your boot times. I think today, these minor tweaks and such simply don't return the oomph they once did.

Imagine you have a high end sports car. Well, you can make it faster by reducing weight, right? So, you remove the cigarette lighter and you remove the rear view mirror. Technically you are lighter, but you probably cannot prove any difference in your performance if you took it to the dragstrip and timed it over and over again. And then someday when you go to plug in your cell phone to charge it and the cigarette lighter plug is missing, It's just like removing something from windows that you don't think you use, only to find out down the road that when you click on something else, it might attempt to use that application or service and now you just get an error you have to spend time troubleshooting that nobody else seems to be experiening because they didn't remove the app or service.

So, you remove the cigarette lighter and you remove the rear view mirror.
No, you remove the spare tire and give the owner a can of fix-a-flat to increase the MPG.

I think "just my opinion", in this day and age, with modern computers you end up gaining so little by spending all of this time trying to squeeze more juice from the orange.

Way back in the day, with mechanical hard drives and small amounts of RAM and inefficient designs of Windows, you could make some weeks and via a stopwatch you could actually notice that you shaved off 30 seconds off your boot times. I think today, these minor tweaks and such simply don't return the oomph they once did.

Imagine you have a high end sports car. Well, you can make it faster by reducing weight, right? So, you remove the cigarette lighter and you remove the rear view mirror. Technically you are lighter, but you probably cannot prove any difference in your performance if you took it to the dragstrip and timed it over and over again. And then someday when you go to plug in your cell phone to charge it and the cigarette lighter plug is missing, It's just like removing something from windows that you don't think you use, only to find out down the road that when you click on something else, it might attempt to use that application or service and now you just get an error you have to spend time troubleshooting that nobody else seems to be experiening because they didn't remove the app or service.


Exactly!
Except for one thing...

Removing the cigarette lighter would seriously impact performance.
1. I wouldn't be able to smoke cigarettes.
2. This would probably cause me to physically assault one of the pit crew for something minor.
3. That would cause severe delays like meeting with my lawyer and court appearances.
4. All in all, removing the cigarette lighter would add "days" to my lap times.

:D
