For those that have this issue,
Disclaimer:
misuse can seriously fuck up windows. Disabling things that shouldnt be, is bad. Many of the services are required by other aplications to run. Do not disable any Microsoft services you dont know what they do - otherwise disable as many as possible until the computer stops working.
If you can not read or just want to uncheck everything you see, this is not for you:
Sysinternals Autoruns is like the task manager "start up" section on 5 doeses of steroids. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
It is but you don't want to recommend it to anybody who doesn't know what they're doing because they can seriously break their computer lol
My bad, I normally leave a disclamier, but I forgot.
Please disable all Microsoft services. Your PC and privacy will thank you... (Unless you decide to use something somehow even worse)
There's definiaty some you can and should be disable, but I'd use O&O for that. Unless you actually know what each service does, its best to leave them alone.
The only Microsoft service I have is vscode and that's open source... You don't need any Microsoft services.
vscodium fyi
true I should probably get that.
Ya know any services that can be disabled in general and how to safely turn them off and back on if something doesn't work? I hate how Windows Services eats up so much of my really powerful computer.
