Disable Windows 11 Services You Don't Need

Disable Windows 11 Services You Don't Need
Windows 10 and Windows 11 are known to be system resource hogs that eat up all your system memory and use a lot of utilisation of the system which can make the pc feel sluggish and slow. So disabling unwanted services in windows 11 can help gain back the needed system resource. Remember to only disable unnecessary services in Windows 11. So you may ask, what services can I disable in Windows 11? The services that you don't need.

Example: Connected User Experiences and Telemetry: This will disable Feedback, Telemetry and Data Collection.

Windows 11 services are a crucial part of Windows and disabling Windows services can make some features of Windows not work. So I advise people not to tweak Windows in this way other wise you run the risk of breaking Windows 11. Remember if a service is set to manual and the service is not running, it will not impact the PC. Only running services impact the computer and take up system resources, but if you have a modern computer, your utilization and system resources should be minimal.

I'm not desperate for performance, but every single extra bit helps and your video did a huge amount of easy explanation to help with a bunch of the clutter that may be on a system.

Hello, I am grateful to you for your attention, your time, and your knowledge in creating, producing, and editing this fabulous video!

This is so difficult to decide. Older software may still depend on their own active x ocx's for their functionality rather than using dll's. Also, some services may have dependencies to parent services. It's really up to the developers which have their own style of coding. A good way to check these issues can be monitored with system internals. Unless those services are clearly defined, my practice is - if you have a decent system (cpu, ram, etc.), they are doing no harm and left alone. You never know when you install an app that will suddenly depend on services you disabled. What a quagmire ! Good one Brian - Thank you sir!

All your videos are very informative and have value and this one is no exception. As a tech myself I would like to point out however, that many of the services you mention are set to "Manual" and aren't already running and therefore won't account for CPU usage. As a best practice, I almost always leave this setting as is in case Windows, being the fickle thing that it is, requires it.

Thanks for including additional explanations on the services that you disabled.

Hi! I´ve been following you for quite some time and your videos really do help a lot when it comes to Windows 11 bloatware and stuff that we really dont need but I had to ask you since I`ve been having issues with unnecessery services and processes running in the background, when im not doing anything I have over 150 prozesses running and I want to go down to 95, how can I do that, is it just by turning off the services or do I need to do something else? Cheers!

I understand that people think disabling services saves system resources, however all services that have manual as default startup type will most of the time not be running at all and not use a single clock cycle or single byte of ram when left as is. Also like you already said services have a purpose, disabling them disables certain Windows features. They are not bloatware. If you are running low on resources try stopping other applications either running open or minimized or even in the system tray. There is much more to gain from closing as much of non OS software as you can. The only 2 that have serious impact are automatic updates (only when actual downloading and installing updates is in progress, when you are all done it does not take up anything significant). The other one is defender, other anti virus products have a similar impact as defender on performance, so switching is futile. The differences you will see depend on the default settings of the chosen product. If you want less impact you can configure defender to do things like only do realtime on disk writes only not reads, and make exclusions for folders that have things in them that get updated a lot. For example make exclusion you can turn on for your steam folder that you can use when you update your games.

Brian could this video also apply to Windows 10? My problem is understanding of the services is very limited apart from the absolutely obvious like the Xbox stuff as most of the explanations of services are to me quite ambiguous. I would like to see a video on what to do with processes in the task manager too.

If you are a programmer / scripter, do not turn off the Touch Keyboard service, it will entirely prevent user input in the windows Terminal.

THANKS MAN, DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS.AMAZING VIDEO!

[TheeCobra]

This is proper OS guidance. Much appreciated Sir.

[williamsegal]

Thank You again, Brite. Great info. Much appreciated. Oh for Win XP :-), , , having been "forced" into Win 10

[jhovadroc]

Enjoyed this video. You are and always informative ❤❤🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[sepita]

I know there's probably not much of a difference but is there a windows 10 version of this video? Also do you know which services are safe to switch to manual or delay in order to get a faster bootup?

[zuikanni]

Hey I have a question with my Lenovo idea pad 3. So like it won’t turn on when I plugged in. Do you know like have an idea for to fix it?

[bytejourneycodes]

this is quite helpful because I mainly work in a Windows VM, so i try to make my template VM as efficient as possible.

[nothing-here-_-]

My processes went to 120 to 70-73 and the performance increased 50% thanks alot!

Unrelated question from a new sub. I have a 1TB SSD, I am using just under half. The other day, I startedup the system and noticed over the past few days us useage my 1TB is now just under full. I added nothing, sent a few Gov emails, watched youtube, and have no idea what happened. Any ideas how to clean and where did it come from? I just watched your how to clean vid from 2 years ago. Great vid.

Most all of your recommendations were set to Manual (and not running) in my mini-pc. I assume that this means that so far, no program has requested or needed this service?
