Disabled Services in Windows 10
nkormanik:
In trying to keep my system running lean, I have disabled the following Windows 10 system services. If you feel any of these are a mistake -- in terms of performance or stability -- please post your thoughts:

But still a very good starting point.
nkormanik:
Yes, 4wd, excellent lead for those that don't know about Black Viper.
That's what I started with. You betcha. But I still cut back a few. Wondering if I trimmed anything I shouldn't have.
Hate unneeded, unwanted stuff running in the background. If necessary, okay. If not, seems good to disable.
It's so hard to know for sure which is which.
wraith808:
Depending on your use case, you might want to take a second look at eventlog. It's helped me out of a jam when Windows is acting wonky for some reason.
nkormanik:
Thanks, wraith808. I disabled it because of the incessant, never-ending writing to logs. Thought it could be hurting performance in ways.
