如果您曾经搜索过使Windows 计算机(Windows computer)更快的方法,那么您可能已经浏览过多个建议关闭或禁用某些Windows服务的网站。其他网站说这很危险,你不应该乱用Windows服务。那么,谁是正确的呢?
好吧,这个论点基本上可以分解为你是否知道你在做什么。在我看来,如果您甚至不知道Windows 服务(Windows service)是什么,那么您真的不应该禁用任何服务。如果您对服务和程序有一些基本了解,那么只禁用非 Microsoft 服务是可以的。
作为一般规则,我从不禁用默认情况下随Windows安装的任何服务或来自(Windows)Microsoft的任何服务。如果您认为某项服务是不必要的并且可能会降低您的计算机速度,您应该使用 Google 搜索,然后尝试卸载最初创建该服务的程序或Windows功能。(Windows)
但是,当您禁用非 Microsoft 服务时,您在计算机上搞砸的可能性会大大降低。大多数这些第三方服务不一定需要启用。他们通常在那里检查后台的更新或(background or something)类似的东西。
Windows 服务位置
首先(First),有两种方法可以查看 Windows PC 上的所有服务。您可以转到开始并输入(Start and type)服务以(services)打开桌面应用程序(desktop app),或者您可以输入MSCONFIG以打开系统配置实用程序(system configuration utility)。
继续并单击“服务(Services)”选项卡,您将看到所有服务的列表,每个服务旁边都有复选标记。如果取消选中该服务,则下次重新启动计算机时将禁用该服务。
另一种方法是单击Start并输入services,这也会列出所有服务,但每个服务都必须手动禁用,并且您无法像在MSCONFIG中那样快速隐藏所有(MSCONFIG)Microsoft服务。但是,一个好处是它为您提供了每项服务的详细描述。
检查非 Microsoft 服务
在 MSCONFIG 中,继续并选中Hide all Microsoft services。正如我之前提到的,我什至不会禁用任何Microsoft 服务(Microsoft service),因为这不值得你以后遇到的问题。许多网站会告诉您可以禁用服务 X 或服务Y,因为它仅在您的计算机是域的一部分时使用,或者仅在(service X or service)Windows中启用特定功能时才需要,等等,但您永远无法确定当突然需要启动和使用服务时。
隐藏Microsoft服务后,您实际上应该最多只剩下大约 10 到 20 个服务。如果你有更多,你的计算机上可能安装了太多的程序。如果您确实有很多并且需要所有这些程序,那么禁用一些服务可能会使您的计算机运行得更快。
那么,您如何知道要禁用哪些服务以及不理会哪些服务呢?我遇到的唯一一个你不应该接触(t touch)的第三方服务是任何带有无线(wireless)、英特尔(intel)或显示(display)字样的服务。无线设备控制您的Wi-Fi 卡(Wi-Fi card),如果您禁用该服务,您的无线连接将消失。
英特尔(Intel)有很多服务,我通常不理会这些服务,因为它们从不使用大量内存或占用CPU。最后,任何显卡服务都应保持启用状态。这包括服务名称(service name)中带有NVIDIA或AMD或(AMD)图形(graphics)一词的任何内容。除此之外,其他一切都是公平的游戏。
让我们看一下我电脑上的一些服务。如您所见,我基本上禁用了所有与更新相关的服务。那么这是否意味着Adobe 和 Google 程序(Adobe and Google programs)将永远不会更新?不,这只是意味着我必须手动完成,反正我发现自己一直在这样做,所以这对我来说没什么大不了的。我还禁用了Steam 和 TechSmith(Steam and TechSmith),因为我不经常使用这些程序,而且一旦我启动这些程序,服务就会自动打开。
值得一提的是,在这里取消选中一项服务并不意味着它永远不会在计算机上再次运行。这只是意味着它不会在计算机首次启动时自动启动。当您手动运行该程序时,与该程序关联的服务也将自动启动。
出于显而易见的原因,我一直启用Intel Rapid Storage、Malwarebytes、NVIDIA 和 Realtek 音频服务。(NVIDIA and Realtek audio services)我希望我的反恶意软件程序能够运行,并且我希望我的图形和音频能够正常运行。如果您通过服务名称(service name)不确定它的作用或它与哪个程序相关联,请转到我提到的其他服务应用程序并尝试阅读说明。任何你不确定的东西,你都应该启用。
此外,如果您确实禁用了您认为需要的东西,只需返回MSCONFIG并选中该框以重新启用它。如果您只是在使用非 Microsoft 服务,那么您不会搞砸很多事情。我还建议一次禁用一项服务,重新启动,在您的计算机上工作一段时间,然后尝试另一项服务。
最后,您可能会发现某些启动的程序不会出现在服务列表中。在这些情况下,您必须禁用启动程序,该程序位于另一部分中。如果您的计算机速度很慢,请查看我之前关于如何加速Windows的帖子。享受!
Should You Ever Disable a Windows Service?
If you have eνer searched for wаys to makе your Windows computer faster, you’ve probably rυn aсross several websites thаt suggest turning off or disabling certaіn Wіndows serνices. Other websites say it’s dangerous and уou should never mess with Windows services. So, who іs correct?
Well, the argument can basically be broken down into whether or not you know what you are doing. In my opinion, if you don’t know what a Windows service even is, then you really should not disable any service. If you have some basic understanding of services and programs, then it’s OK to disable only non-Microsoft services.
As a general rule, I never disable any service that comes installed with Windows by default or that is from Microsoft. If you think a service is unnecessary and might be slowing down your computer, you should Google it and then try to uninstall the program or Windows feature that is creating the service in the first place.
However, when you disable non-Microsoft services, your chances of messing something up on your computer are greatly reduced. Most of these third-party services don’t necessarily need to be enabled. They are usually there to check for updates in the background or something similar.
Windows Services Location
First off, there are two ways to view all the services on your Windows PC. You can go to Start and type in services to open the desktop app or you can type in MSCONFIG to open the system configuration utility.
Go ahead and click on the Services tab and you’ll see a list of all services with checkmarks next to each one. If you uncheck the service, it will be disabled the next time you restart the computer.
The other method is to click on Start and type in services, which also will list out all of the services, but each service has to be disabled manually and you can’t hide all of the Microsoft services quickly like you can in MSCONFIG. The one benefit, though, is that it gives you a detailed description for each service.
Examine Non-Microsoft Services
In MSCONFIG, go ahead and check Hide all Microsoft services. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t even mess with disabling any Microsoft service because it’s not worth the problems you’ll end up with later. Many sites will tell you that it’s OK to disable service X or service Y because it’s only used when your computer is part of a domain or it’s only needed when a certain feature is enabled in Windows, etc., but you can never really be certain when a service will suddenly need to be started and used.
Once you hide the Microsoft services, you really should only be left with about 10 to 20 services at max. If you have more than that, you probably have way too many programs installed on your computer. If you do have a lot and you need all those programs, then disabling a few of the services will probably make your computer run faster.
So how do you know which service to disable and which to leave alone? The only third-party services I have come across that you shouldn’t touch are any that have the words wireless, intel or display in them. The wireless ones control your Wi-Fi card and if you disable that service, your wireless connection will disappear.
Intel has quite a few services and I usually just leave those alone because they never use a lot of memory or eat up the CPU. Lastly, any graphics card services should remain enabled. This includes anything with NVIDIA or AMD or the word graphics in the service name. Outside of that, everything else is fair game.
Let’s take a look at some services on my computer. As you can see, I basically disabled all of the services that are related to updates. So does this mean Adobe and Google programs will never update? No, it just means I have to do it manually, which I find myself doing all the time anyway, so it’s not a big deal for me. I also disabled Steam and TechSmith because I don’t use those programs very often and the services turn on automatically once I start the programs.
It’s worth mentioning once that unchecking a service here doesn’t mean it will never run again on the computer. It just means it won’t automatically start when the computer first boots up. When you manually run the program, the services associated with that program will automatically start also.
I kept the Intel Rapid Storage, Malwarebytes, NVIDIA and Realtek audio services enabled for obvious reasons. I want my anti-malware program to be running and I want my graphics and audio to be functioning properly. If you’re not sure by the service name what it does or which program it is associated with, go to the other services app I mentioned and try to read the description. Anything that you’re not sure about, you should leave enabled.
Also, if you do disable something that you find is needed, simply go back into MSCONFIG and check the box to re-enable it. If you’re just messing around with non-Microsoft services, there isn’t a whole lot you can mess up. I also recommend disabling one service at a time, restarting, working on your computer for a while, and then trying another service.
Finally, you may find certain programs starting up that won’t show up in the list of services. In those cases, you have to disable the startup programs, which is in another section. If your computer is slow, check out my previous post on how to speed up Windows. Enjoy!
