How to know which services I can close

blacblu · 23 May 2012 at 23:49

There is any way to know if certain service is crucial for the machine or if it can be closed without any problem?

I would like to close as many services as I can, but there are too many, was wondering if there is any better way to know their functions without goggling one by one.

blackviper.com - I used to do this on XP when my PC was borderline (you only need like 11 xp services before the PC stops being usable), and his descriptions were great at the time. Doesn't seem very needed nowdays, as the service descriptions tell you what they do, most PCs are overspecced, and I believe the services _usually_ act better. But still, have fun.

Just leave them alone, it won't make a noticeable difference.

Unless your still on XP with 1gb of ram I wouldn't bother.

All you'll do is end up troubleshooting later when something doesn't work, and you'll forget that you thought you knew better than a team of developers at Microsoft.
