Disabling Service for faster computer speed and higher FPS

     There are many unnecessary services running in the background that you can disable.  Disabling these services will help your computer run faster and improve gaming performance.  These tweaks will improve fps and help resolve issues in gaming such as fps drops and stuttering.

     Gaming glitches are usually caused by conflicts with services or programs.  Disabling unnecessary services in the background should help gamers avoid many of these issues.

     These are my services I have disabled.  Please read the description of the services you want to disable.

****Note:  If you are not on a homegroup and don't use a printer or fax, you should be fine disabling all the services I have disabled.

To get to services follow these steps:

1. Control + Alt + Delete to open task manager



2.  Click the services tab on top, then right click any service.  Then click "open services"



3.  Your services window will open and now we are going to disable unnecessary services.  To disable any service, right click on it and select properties.  Here's an example


*****Note:  After you right click a service and go to properties, this box will come up.  Follow these steps to disable any service you want to disable.  First stop the process, then in dropdown, disable service, hit apply then ok to close window.  Some services will be set to manual.




This is how the box should look after process is disabled:




***Note:  If you are unsure about a service, highlight it and read the description or search online.

***Note:  These Services are for Windows 7 - 8.1.  I will do Windows 10 Next :)

Credential Manager
Cryptographic Services (Manual)

Liveupdate
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service

****Note:  Any service description with "group, workstation, homegroup are related to connecting computers on a network.  These are only needed at work or if your family shares stuff between computers in your house

*****Note:  Any service with "remote" in the description refers to others connecting to your computer.  This can be dangerous and put your security at risk. If you use for example the program "TeamViewer" you can leave these services on manual

Here are screenshots of my services, but the list above is most accurate:

Vac Blocking Games Fix

     The most common cause of Vac blocking games from secured servers is errors with DEP.  This guide will show how to enable DEP which may help people from getting disconnected from VAC servers.  Also I will mention some other possible culprits at the end.

1. Open Control Panel and Click "System and Security"



2.  Then click "System"



3.  Then Click "Advanced System settings"




4.  Click the "Advanced" tab on top and then "settings" under the performance area



5.  Click the "Data Execution Prevention" tab and then click "turn on Dep" hit apply and then okay



     If Dep was off this most likely will fix Vac errors.  I recommend restarting before you play any games again.

*** Some other issues that may cause issues are:

1.  Iobit System Care (I think it may be from the startup manager)
2.  Your firewall or windows firewall.  I have a guide below on how to disable windows defender and firewall.

     Thanks for stopping by!  Please add this blog to your favorites for future helpful guides!  Cheers!

3.  Then Click "Advanced Settings"



4.  Click "Adjust for best performance".  Then click "advanced" tab on top

6.  Under the advanced tab click "programs" to adjust for best performance.  Clicking programs will make your computer run games better than background services.

2.  Check "No GUI Boot", then change timeout to 10 seconds.  Lastly Click advanced options.



3.  First click "number of processors and in drop down change to highest number.  Then Check maximum memory.  If it makes you feel better, change the 0 to the highest number allowed.  Lastly Click Ok at the bottom.



4.  Click apply and you will have to restart your computer.




Part 2

1.  Press "ctrl+alt+delete" to open task manager.  Then Click "Startup" at the top.



2.  You can now see all your programs impacting startup speed.  Also Startup impact is listed.  Programs with "high" next to them are greatly impacting your startup speed.



3.  Determine which programs you can easily open once you are logged in.  Steam slows startup a lot, so you can highlight steam and then click disable at the bottom.  Do this for any programs you don't need instantly when you login.  This will boost your computer booting speed.
