Are these services safe to disable please?
Good evening,
I have just clean installed my Windows 7 OS. Now having done this I want to get the best performance and speed out of my laptop before I create an OS image.
I came across this site outlining which services could be safely disabled along with the reasons why...
http://www.optimizingpc.com/windows7..._services.html
I have read through them and considered each one and I have come up with what I think I can safely disable without any impact on the functionality of my computer. I have listed each of them with what I am going to do.
If there is any reasons why I shouldn't disable some of them then please point me in the right direction.
