How to make Win7 run faster and smoother
First of all, only to understand some of the relevant knowledge of the system services, and then according to the different needs of WINDOWS7 users to provide targeted WINDOWS7 system services to clean up the program to improve the Windows7 running speed.
What is a service?
A service is a program or process used by a system to perform a specified system function that supports other applications, typically running in the background. The service does not appear in the Program window or dialog box compared to the programs that the user runs, and only in Task manager can they be observed.
How do I modify the startup type of a service?
Enter "Services.msc" or "service" in the "Search programs and Files" column of the Win7 Start menu to search for "service" items, and then click to open the Service Management List window. Double-click any service to view or modify its properties, and in the Properties window you can modify the startup type to Manual, automatic, automatic (delayed startup), or disabled.
What is the difference between automatic and automatic (delay startup)?
Automatic startup means that the service item is loaded at the same time the computer is started to support other programs running on this service basis. and "Automatic (delay Start)" is a very humanized design of the Windows7. Booting in this way can delay startup of the service item after the system has been started for a while, and can be a good solution to some low configuration computers because too many service items are loaded causing the computer to start slowly or respond slowly after startup.
What is the difference between "manual" and "disabled"?
When the service startup status is manual, the process shuts down but can still be activated under certain circumstances, and when set to disabled, the service cannot run unless the user manually modifies the property.
Which services need to be started manually?
"Manual" mode, as the name implies is that this service will not be loaded as the system starts, and requires other service activation or user access to the service management interface, manually start it or modify its properties to "automatic" start.
This pattern is commonly used when you need to turn on features that are not already on the system. In the case of the "applicationidentity" service, the service is in the "manual" state by default, that is, it is not started. However, when a user needs to use the AppLocker feature, the service must be manually enabled (modified to automatic state), otherwise the AppLocker feature will not function properly.
What should I pay attention to before I change it?
Modifying the system service may cause unexpected problems, so it is a good idea to back up the default service state before you modify it. method to open the Service Management window and click "Operations → export List", select "Save Type" as txt text file or CSV file, it is recommended to select the latter, the file can be opened with Excel.
In addition, if there is an inability to access the system due to a modification error, you can press the F8 key at power-on to select Enter Safe mode and modify service startup properties in Safe mode.
