I've disabled some services in the past, only for M$ to turn them back up when I've had update fixes. It's worth checking occassionaly that services you've turn off, stay off.
FYI: Most of these services weren't running. As they are preconfigured my MS in manual mode, and only run if a program you may need uses it. I think you're doing more damage than helping. I noticed you had an error on disabling the GameDVR and Broadcast Service, with an incorrect parameter that you totally blew off. So why don't you explain what happened? So you went to the Map Manager Service that you couldn't find and started talking about the Geolocation Service? I gotted confused 🤔
I strongly recommend making sure you're not using bitlocker before you turn off the encryption that would prevent you from turning it back on. And set them to manual. If some other service needs them, it will start them.
Does setting the services to “manual” mean that these services, if needed by the System or by programs and applications, are activated/enabled automatically?
@@onomatopeira The program that needs the service tells Windows to start the service when it's needed. If it's disabled, stuff breaks. If it's manual, it just stays turned off until you run whatever program you didn't know needed that service. I imagine some sloppy programs might fail to say they need the service running, but I've never had such a problem.
Great video! Explaining the what & why. 💯 I had already set many to manual, but per the video and disabling any I can't imagine using helped more.

While I hate anything running that is not absolutely required and I find this video informative, what I don't understand is why ANYONE would sell or build a computer in 2024 with 4gb of RAM. The RAM utilization on this computer was at 72% without ANY user programs running. Running almost any program would max out the RAM and bring that computer to a crawl whether you shut down those services or not would make almost no actual difference in the performance. The minimum requirement to even install Win10 is 2gb and for Win11 is 4gb and all that will really do is allow the computer to boot up, if you ask it to do almost anything else, you better be prepared to WAIT FOREVER!!! I appreciate the video but your less savy viewers would be better served to show them actual benchmark test results before and after making these changes, and how little difference it would actually make, and then show them the increase in speed by increasing the RAM to at least 6-8gb minimum. It would make a HUGE difference, and make that computer somewhat useful.
"SysMain" Service is another name for "Superfetch" but in Windows 10/11. The functions is to learn/capture usage patterns in RAM and based on that pattern performs "pre-chacing" to speed up the next usage process. This mainly affects Hard disk users. For SSD users, it should be turned off.
Interesting, most of these services were a) manual start, and b) not running on my PC - perhaps installation and initial start would make a difference?
I use ghost spectre windows 11, minimal install, and most of the services you lost here to disable are already set to manual rather than automatic. Utilization hovers around 2% idly, with 215 threads (game and VPN services running, plus the necessary base windows services).
@@CrownGEEK Thanks, helpful guide for those that like to max-min their systems. Also helps from a battery perspective to have less services running for those on laptop. I got 16 gb and I still find it helpful. I like to run a tight ship and like my system lean and mean. With microsoft constantly adding in new bloat, your descriptions of what each service does was very helpful in also deciding for myself what to disable - though I already had a lot of this stuff disabled from my own tweaks. The remote desktop especially was a great suggestion. Though I had it turned off those that don't, it could definitely be a security risk even to have it on manual. I will try the sysmain. That's one I've never disabled before. I do see it using a decent amount of resources on occasion so I am a little curious what happens.
Win 11 so greatly recognizes GAMES, that it swaps out and freezes all kinds of services - without intervention. Even running with an absurd 8GB RAM, Win11 will do it's best to run the game - first and foremost. I know we needed efforts like this a few years ago, and there were real gains, but not so much today. === Maybe if you have 10 year old tech running Win10, maybe you'll notice the diff?
I appreciate these tips however can anyone tell me or explain what the Radio Management service actually is? The description says it's for Airplane mode but I have it always running on my desktop and it gives the "Parameter error" when I try to disable it or even try to turn it off. Any help about this service and how to turn it off on a desktop is appreciated.
The Radio Management Service (RmSvc) in Windows 10 and 11 is responsible for managing the system's radio states, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular connections. You can turn Off Bluetooth and disable each Wifi adapter instead. Cellular isn't an issue if you don't have a cellular adapter.
Just a heads up I found if you disable the biometrics service you also disable the ability to change/set a log in pin. (at least with 11 22h2 and earlier, I haven't tested if this still behaves that way, but I don't imagine they would change that "feature").
If you disable Sensor Services you may cripple the power settings in the SETTINGS window. Symptom is Settings crashes when power button is clicked in System... Power

Your descriptions for several are inaccurate, and you advocate disabling services that aren't running / are already in Manual mode.

True, Manual is a way to go.

Yup, because these disabled my ability to set account sign-in options.
Manual is a good idea. If you plan on changing your password or PIN or other login details, keep the Windows Biometric Service on Manual.
@@cammy85I wondered why my account sign-in options weren't working. It's because of the "Windows Biometric Service" disabled.
All should be off by default and promted to activate when using specific softwares that need them.
That's what "manual" means. Set it to manual instead of disabled and this is exactly how it works.
