		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot; Services are like programs that run in the background and are not visible to the user. A lot of services are required for Windows to work properly, but others are either less...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Services are like programs that run in the background and are not visible to the user. A lot of services are required for Windows to work properly, but others are either less useful or entirely useless. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Open Windows Services List==&lt;br /&gt;
To open the Windows services list:&lt;br /&gt;
*Click Start&lt;br /&gt;
*In the search bar type &amp;quot;services.msc&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*There should be 1 result, right click and &amp;quot;Run as Administrator&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==When Services Start==&lt;br /&gt;
In the new Window is a list of the services that run with Windows. Sort the list by clicking the &amp;quot;Startup Type&amp;quot; column. Now you can see which services run and when they run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are 4 ways services start themselves&lt;br /&gt;
*Automatic - Services that always run&lt;br /&gt;
*Automatic (Delayed Start) - Services that run a few minutes after startup&lt;br /&gt;
*Manual - Services that run only when called&lt;br /&gt;
*Disabled - Services that will not run at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Disable Services==&lt;br /&gt;
Windows comes with most features and services enabled to provide the user with a lot of functionality. Rarely will any user need or want them all, so we can disable the ones we do not need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Disable services at your own risk&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a list of services you do not need to have a functioning computer. Below will be a list of services and the feature lost as well as the general speed increase. You can disable everything on this list for full speed if you choose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Themes&lt;br /&gt;
**You lose pretty window borders, rounded corners, and colored start bar&lt;br /&gt;
**Speed: 20% faster interaction with Windows&lt;br /&gt;
*Security Center&lt;br /&gt;
**You lose annoying messages saying you have no antivirus&lt;br /&gt;
**Speed: Slight increase, less popups&lt;br /&gt;
*Windows Defender&lt;br /&gt;
**You lose some minor malware/virus protection&lt;br /&gt;
**Speed: Slight increase, less popups&lt;br /&gt;
*Windows Search&lt;br /&gt;
**You no longer have files show in the Start search bar&lt;br /&gt;
**Speed: Slight increase, also reduces load on hard drive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
