Black Viper's Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Service Configurations
Black Viper's Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Service Configurations
Black Viper's Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Service Configurations
Introduction
To continue my fine tradition of optimizing MSs latest OS, I have here my
findings to date. If you are looking for Windows 7 Retail information, you are
almost in the right spot.
Before adjusting your service settings, ensure that your system has already
installed all updates by checking now for any available updates via Windows
Update. At this time, it is best for you to ensure that all services are set to the
default values before updating your system.
Breakdown of all changes to date: Windows 7 Information Changelog.
I cannot possibly test all configurations extensively (meaning, each persons
specific computer needs), but what I can offer is what works for me and the
obstacles I have came across so you do not have to discover them on your
own. If information on this page needs a revision or expanded, please feel free
to comment below.
An * (asterisk) indicates changes from the default
Two ** (asterisks) indicates you can add or remove this service by:
Head to Start
Select Programs
Three *** (asterisks) indicates optional services installed with Windows Live
Essentials.
Four **** (asterisks) indicates changes from Retail (SP0) to Service Pack 1.
Notes for a Happier Computer and User
Before disabling any service, check out the service information about
each by selecting the service name links provided.
All of these services are Standard with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and
installed by default, by Add/Remove Windows Features, or installed via
Windows Live Essentials. If you discover a service that is not listed here,
another application, driver or program installed them. A few of the more
common ones are listed here.
Still unsure? Put your setting to Manual or the listing under Safe.
Manual allows Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to start the service when it
needs to (or when ever it feels like it), but not at boot up. Depending on
your configuration, not all services will start when required while in
Manual mode. If you find you need a service, place it in Automatic.
The columns are sortable. Select the column header to sort by that
field.
Configuration Information
Automatic ~ With a service in this state, it will start at boot time. Some
services, when no longer required, will also automatically stop when not
needed. If you find you do not need a service, place it into Manual or
Disabled.
Disabled ~ This setting will stop a service from starting, even if needed.
Errors in the Event Viewer will show up complaining of that fact. Some
services, while Disabled, will constantly complain. However, this
situation is taken care of if placed in Manual. The service descriptions
identifies those that should be in Manual vice Disabled.
S ~ Windows 7 Starter
P ~ Windows 7 Professional
U ~ Windows 7 Ultimate
E ~ Windows 7 Enterprise
They are in the .reg file format (many entries are in hex notation), not as
you would actually view the content via regedit.exe.
