Question, which one is better?
So I have a question which I am hoping to see what most people say about this. My overall question;
1. - is it better to turn off services in the services area or is it better to do it through gpedit.msc?
2. - is there a huge difference?
I got to thinking (watch out everyone) about this because in the past I was so use to just turning off services. I have little time within the gpedit area and I got to poking around one day and thought about this. Example, in gpedit.msc there is Windows Mail or Windows Calendar or Windows Defender, etc. Windows Defender for instance I would just normally turn the service off because of a third party software I would install. But I stumbled across gpedit.msc and saw it in there as well. Would it be better to leave the service alone and then in gpedit.msc disabled Defender off in there?
I even see Windows Mail which I do not use. Turn it off or go and look for a service.
Is there is a difference, does one have a bigger affect on the operating system than the other, maybe the operating system prefers gpedit.msc route or shut down the service and watch the system get grumpy. Just not sure, but wondering.
Thanks
