有了Killer Network Service这样的名字，英特尔的网络管理流程并不能激发人们的信心。该服务是否值得运行，还是您应该杀死杀手(kill the killer)？
终止不属于Microsoft的后台进程始终是一个好主意，尤其是当该进程导致CPU使用率过高时。其中一些进程甚至可能是会降低 PC 速度的病毒。
什么是杀手级网络服务(Killer Network Service)？
杀手网络服务(Killer Network Service)( KNS ) 是英特尔(Intel)创建和发布的后台进程。它通常与一系列英特尔 Wifi 卡(drivers for a series of Intel’s Wifi cards)的驱动程序捆绑在一起，恰当地命名为Killer Network卡。
Killer Networking卡旨在减少延迟和网络延迟以改善游戏体验，通常安装在高端游戏笔记本电脑中。至少，英特尔(Intel)是这样宣称的。
专用WiFi卡需要更多改进才能证明增加的价格标签是合理的。此外，由于它们不同的做事方式，它们可能会导致网络连接问题。
杀手级网络服务(Killer Network Service)是病毒(Virus)吗？
杀手级网络服务唯一的优点是它不是恶意软件。它是由 Intel 的Killer Network卡触发的合法后台服务，不会损坏您的系统。
但意图不决定绩效。杀手级网络服务造成的麻烦往往多于它解决的问题。使用Killer Network(Killer Network)驱动程序
的人经常报告诸如计算机迟缓或CPU使用率过高等问题。(CPU)
为什么Killer Network Service 会导致 CPU 使用率过高(Does Killer Network Service Cause High CPU Usage)？
杀手网络服务的功能是监控所有传出网络流量并为每个活动分配足够的资源。这个想法是确定游戏流的优先级以确保最小延迟，防止其他网络任务侵入其急需的网络共享。
由于其工作方式，杀手网络服务在后台保持活动状态，不断分析网络流量。虽然Killer卡应该使用其处理器来提高性能，但这会导致CPU的负担增加。
在某些情况下，使用级别可能会超过正常值，从而导致整个计算机速度变慢。这在处理器功能较弱的计算机上尤其是个问题，因为芯片可能无法顺利处理增加的负载。
停止Killer Network 服务(Killer Network Service)是否安全？
与许多后台进程不同，Killer Network Service不是必需的。它不是操作系统或任何安全应用程序的组件，因此可以安全地手动禁用它。
此外，它在网络优化方面的作用也不重要，因此您可以用普通的英特尔(Intel)驱动程序替换该服务，而不会丢失您 PC 上的任何功能。不过，如果您关心
Killer卡的ping值，您将不会得到它。
请记住(Remember)，不正确地卸载它会导致WiFi问题，因为Killer卡默认使用KNS驱动程序。我们将在下一节中介绍从您的计算机中删除该服务的正确方法。
如何卸载Killer Network 服务(Killer Network Service)？
没有用于删除Killer Network Service的直接卸载方法。但由于该服务是Killer Performance Suite的一部分，您只需卸载该套件(uninstall the suite)即可。
除非您卸载网络驱动程序，否则您不会遇到任何网络问题，因为该套件是可选的。有些人喜欢扔掉所有东西并重新安装库存驱动程序来运行网卡，尽管这不是必需的。
- 要在 Windows 10(uninstall any apps on Windows 10)或更低版本上卸载任何应用程序，您可以使用控制面板中的(Control Panel)添加(Add)或删除程序(Remove Programs)部分。Windows 11 已将此功能移至“设置”的“(Settings)应用(Apps)”选项卡，但搜索“添加(Add)或删除程序”仍会将您带到正确的位置。
- 您会看到计算机上安装的所有应用程序的列表。使用顶部搜索栏搜索Killer Performance Suite 。(Killer Performance Suite)只需(Simply)输入Killer就足够了，因为共享这样一个名称的应用程序并不多。
- 当您找到该应用程序时，单击名称旁边的三点图标，然后从下拉菜单中选择卸载。(Uninstall)由于您的 PC 上没有Killer Network Card，我们将在此处使用不同的应用程序进行演示。
- 这将打开相关应用程序的专用卸载程序。只需按照说明从您的计算机中删除Killer性能套件，从而删除 Killer 网络服务。
杀手级网络服务值得保留(Killer Network Service Worth Keeping)吗？
Killer网络服务本身并不是恶意的。但是，它有时会出错，导致CPU使用率过高并影响系统资源。
同时，它也不是必需的。因此，除非您通过使用Killer Performance Suite 看到了网络性能的显着提升——(Killer Performance Suite –)并且需要这种优势——否则您最好完全卸载该应用程序。
但是，如果您喜欢在线游戏并且没有遇到Killer Network Service的任何性能问题，您可以安然无恙。它不太可能对性能造成太大影响，甚至可能有助于减少多人游戏中的延迟(reduce lag in multiplayer games)。
What Is the “Killer Network Service” in Windows (And Is It Safe)?
With a namе like Killer Network Service, Intel’s network management process doеs not inspire confidence. Іs the service еven worth running, or should you kill the killer?
Terminating background processes that do not belong to Microsoft is always a good idea, especially if the process is causing high CPU usage. Some of these processes might even be viruses that slow down your PC.
What Is the Killer Network Service?
The Killer Network Service (KNS) is a background process created and published by Intel. It usually comes bundled with the drivers for a series of Intel’s Wifi cards, appropriately named Killer Network cards.
Killer Networking cards are designed to reduce latency and network lag for an improved gaming experience and are usually installed in high-end gaming laptops. At least, that’s what Intel claims.
The specialized WiFi cards need more improvement to justify the increased price tag. In addition, they can lead to network connection issues thanks to their different way of doing things.
Is the Killer Network Service a Virus?
The only saving grace of the killer network service is that it is not malware. It’s a legitimate background service triggered by Intel’s Killer Network cards and is not supposed to damage your system.
But intentions do not decide performance. The killer network service can often cause more trouble than it solves. Problems like a laggy computer or high CPU usage are frequently reported by people using Killer Network drivers.
Why Does Killer Network Service Cause High CPU Usage?
The killer network service’s function is to monitor all outgoing network traffic and allocate adequate resources for every activity. The idea is to prioritize gaming streams to ensure minimum latency, preventing other network tasks from intruding on its much-needed network share.
Because of how it works, the killer network service remains active in the background, constantly analyzing network traffic. And while Killer cards are supposed to use their processor to improve performance, it leads to a higher burden on the CPU.
In some cases, the usage level can exceed normal values, causing your whole computer to slow down. This is especially a problem on a computer with a less powerful processor, as the chip may not be able to handle the increased load smoothly.
Is it Safe to Stop the Killer Network Service?
The Killer Network Service, unlike many background processes, isn’t essential. It’s not a component of the operating system or any security application, making it safe to disable manually.
Furthermore, its role in network optimization isn’t crucial either, so you can replace the service with normal Intel drivers and lose no functionality on your PC. You just won’t have the Killer card’s improved ping though, if that’s a thing you care about.
Remember that uninstalling it improperly can cause WiFi issues since the Killer cards use the KNS drivers by default. We’ll review the proper way of removing the service from your computer in the next section.
How Can You Uninstall the Killer Network Service?
There is no direct uninstallation method for removing the Killer Network Service. But as the service is a part of the Killer Performance Suite, all you need is to uninstall the suite.
Unless you uninstall the network driver, you will not encounter any network issues since the suite is optional. Some people like throwing away everything and reinstalling stock drivers to run the network card, though that shouldn’t be necessary.
- To uninstall any apps on Windows 10 or below, you can use the Add or Remove Programs section in the Control Panel. Windows 11 has moved this functionality to the Apps tab of the Settings instead, though searching for Add or remove programs still brings you to the right place.
- You’ll see a list of all applications installed on your computer. Search for the Killer Performance Suite using the top search bar. Simply entering Killer would suffice, as there aren’t many apps that share such a name.
- When you find the app, click on the three-dot icon by the name and select Uninstall from the drop-down menu. Since we don’t have a Killer Network Card on your PC, we’re demonstrating with a different app here.
- This opens the dedicated uninstaller of the app in question. Just follow the instructions to remove the Killer performance suite – and thus the killer network service – from your computer.
Is Killer Network Service Worth Keeping?
The Killer network service is not inherently malicious. However, it can sometimes act up, causing high CPU usage and affecting system resources.
At the same time, it isn’t essential either. So unless you have seen notable gains in network performance by using the Killer Performance Suite – and need that kind of edge – you may be better off uninstalling the app entirely.
But if you love online gaming and aren’t facing any performance issues from the Killer Network Service, you can safely leave it be. It’s unlikely to put much of a dent in performance and might even help reduce lag in multiplayer games.
