All computer processes consume resources. But not all of them are vital. There are many unnecessary applications that are absolutely useless and therefore need to be terminated. If the level decreases Windows performance 7, first of all, the user wonders how to disable unnecessary programs on the system.
Where do you get unnecessary programs on your computer?
Where do unnecessary programs and applications appear on the computer?
- Firstly, the source before installed programs is the computer manufacturer itself. Therefore, even in new car there are several dozen of them.
- Secondly, unnecessary programs are often installed with drivers for peripheral devices - printers, modems and others.
- Thirdly, there are “bonus” applications. They are installed if the user forgot to uncheck the boxes during installation of the required utility.
Often, program authors deliberately hide windows for canceling installation, depriving computer owners of the opportunity to abandon unnecessary software. In addition, many additional applications not only take up disk space, but are also added to startup.
Antiviruses and various cleaning programs do not identify “bonus packages” as unwanted. Therefore, you have to remove such software manually.
How to determine which programs and processes can be removed
By and large, when working with Windows 7, only those applications that ensure the operation of the system should be enabled. account user and peripheral devices used in at the moment- the rest should be stopped. By the name of the process you can find out its description and role in the system. It is recommended to study information about it before deleting it.
Example: There is a process "spoolsv.exe". It manages print queues on the system and interacts with printer drivers. Accordingly, if you are not currently using the printer, stopping the process is possible.
The following programs must be removed from the installed programs:
- [email protected];
- [email protected];
- AlterGeo Magic Scanner;
- Yandex.Bar;
- WinZix;
- Google Toolbar;
- Bing Bar;
- StartSearch;
- Update the Software;
- Speedbit;
- Ask toolbar;
- Ask.com;
- Gator;
- QIP Internet Guardian.
When the condition is met, you can start using the program. To do this, click on Analyze. The system analysis process may take several minutes.
To run the program, you need to click on Analyze
As a result, the user will receive information about which programs can be “killed” forever and which are prohibited from uninstallation. This feature makes PC Decrapifier stand out from other similar utilities.
Consists in reducing the number of processes and tasks performed. This is not surprising, because such processes and tasks consume the resources of our computer, and therefore it can slow down or freeze when we try to play a demanding toy or work with complex programs. Naturally, we cannot simply close all processes in the task manager, because some of them are necessary for correct operation operating system.
Processes on each separate computer may differ, because we use different programs and have different hardware installed. However, there are a number of processes that run on every computer under OS Windows 7, and their termination, in addition to speeding up the system, will not lead to any other consequences. So, let's figure out what processes can be disable in manager Windows tasks 7 .
First you need to open it yourself task manager: for this we use Ctrl+Alt+Delete. In the window that appears, click on the Processes tab. A list of processes with users will appear in front of you; so that all processes are displayed, check the corresponding box at the bottom of the window.
In the very bottom left corner of the window, you can see how many active processes are currently running. There are 134 of them in the screenshot. In the Memory column you can find out how much RAM a particular process is using.
The processes that are visible in the task manager are divided into two categories:
- System– they are designed for the operation of the operating system as a whole, and its individual elements.
- Custom– processes that were launched as an administrator, i.e. computer owner.
In the User column you can see which category a particular process belongs to. You should not end processes directly from the Windows 7 task manager, otherwise this may lead to crashes or reboots of the operating system. If you try to terminate an important process that is responsible for the performance of the OS, it will either not be closed or will open again after a while, about which you will receive a corresponding notification. 
So, in most cases, user processes need to be terminated. This category includes programs and services that have been installed by the user himself. However, there are some exceptions. So, if you try to close explorer.exe, the shortcuts and taskbar will disappear from the desktop.
If you don't know which user processes can be terminated in the Windows 7 Task Manager, take a look at where is this process file located?. To do this, click right click by process, and from the menu that opens, select File storage location. If it turns out that this file is located in the folder Windows, then in no case can't be closed. However, there is an exception here too - if this file is malicious virus, then it must be removed immediately.
Here is a list of processes that do not need to be closed: 
This table shows the processes that require termination (unless, of course, you need them at a given time): 
In order to complete the process, you need to click on the corresponding button in the task manager, and after the warning window appears, confirm your action. 
This method will, of course, close the process, but in most cases the effect will only last until the next reboot of the computer. When the system is rebooted, the completed process will again be loaded. Therefore, in order get rid of unnecessary process forever, we need delete appropriate program, or remove it from startup.
If you are not sure whether a particular task or process can be completed, then it is better not to risk it and leave it running. After using the computer for a long time without reinstalling the OS and cleaning programs, a large number of completely unnecessary processes accumulate that slow down the system. Therefore, cleaning the task manager should be done regularly.
If you want your computer to run a little faster, you need to keep an eye on RAM. The more free volume it has, the faster operations and various other actions that the user does are performed. It should be remembered that not only loaded programs and open tabs browser. These include all background processes, running services, and files reserved by closed utilities.
Now we’ll talk about disabling unnecessary services in Windows, and we’ll use a special program for this.
Easy Service Optimizer – free program in Russian, using which even an inexperienced user can manage services in operating system. The interface is very simple. The utility is portable, so you do not need to install it on your computer. Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10.
You can download Easy Service Optimizer from the link at the bottom of the article from Yandex Disk. After that, open the “Downloads” folder on your computer and run the “eso” archive.
Extract the archived folder to any convenient location on your computer.
You can download Easy Service Optimizer from the official website. To do this, go to their page (the address is circled in a rectangle in the screenshot below). You will find a download button called “Download” at the end of the article before the recommended posts and comments.
After extracting the “eso” folder from the archive, open it and run the file with the same name, opposite which will be written “Application”.
If you have the default interface language selected (English), then click on the “Options” - “Languages” tab and select the one you need from the list.
Now let's look at how to use the program. The main program window will display a list of services that can be optimized. Opposite each one, you can check or uncheck the box; this must be done, since the application installed settings and restoration only applies to those marked with a bird.
There is a label at the top that is displayed in the columns. At the bottom there are four tabs with modes. You need to choose the right one from them. When they change, the data in the column changes "Type of application". So “By default”, many services are started by the user manually or automatically, but if you select “Extreme”, then almost all of them will be disabled.
There is no need to disable all services in a row, as this may lead to problems with the system.
View list of all Windows Services You can by clicking on the button with two gears at the top.
In the program window, any of them can be edited: select it with the mouse and click the button "Edit…" up.
A window with basic information will open. Below you can set a specific launch type for each mode separately. Save your changes by clicking OK.
If you understand a little about what a service does, you can highlight it and disable it or start it using the appropriate buttons.
After selecting the appropriate mode: “Safe”, “Optimal”, “Extreme”, and check required fields, you can proceed to applying the settings by clicking on the button with the image of a rocket. After this, the selected services will either be disabled or started.
Since not all services have been added to the list, you can do this yourself. To do this, open them all by clicking on the button with two gears, double-click on the one you need and look at its name.
Now we return to the program window again and click on the button at the top "Add new". Next, enter the name that you remember, the rest of the information will be filled in automatically. Specify launch types for modes and click “Add”.
To remove a service from the list, select it and click at the top "Delete selected".
Please note that the service itself will not be deleted, it will simply disappear from the displayed list for optimization in the program. You can add it at any time using the method described above.
In order to return all settings to default, you need to click on the “Services” tab and select "Reset list".
Select a location on your computer and name it so you can understand it. In the “File type” field we leave everything as it is. Click "Save".
So you can create several files with various settings. To select one of them, open “File” – “Open” and click on the desired item. Next, click on the rocket icon to apply the settings to the marked services.
After disabling unnecessary services, the computer will work faster, this will be especially noticeable on those PCs that have RAM sticks with a small amount of memory installed. Therefore, download the Easy Service Optimizer program and it will help you solve this problem.
It's no secret that Windows systems often have so many unnecessary user-needed features activated by default. background processes and services that just makes your head spin. It is quite natural that many people think about system optimization issues, since some applets load the computer resources quite heavily, which is why even user programs work very slowly. But if only this were the case! But often many people do not pay attention to the fact that the system constantly monitors user actions, uses data about his location, updates its own components without his knowledge, etc.

Deactivating all unnecessary or unused processes without special knowledge will be very problematic. That is why it is best to protect yourself from possible incorrect actions that could lead to instability. Windows work, and use it to disable some components special programs to disable programs and the system itself, and application components that were installed by the user himself, running in background. But which application to prefer, because on the Internet you can find many such applets, and every developer praises his own software product, claiming that he is the best?
In this video we will look at the command Taskkill, which allows you to terminate certain processes from command line in the Windows operating system. But first, as always, let’s consider why this might be needed at all.
On regular workstations this command not particularly in demand, since you can end the process through the task manager. Although, this does not always work out and in this situation the Taskkill command is useful, but this is rather an exception to the rule.
This command is mainly used by system administrators and I personally encountered the following situations:
1) Updating programs on the terminal server - when administering a terminal server, a large number of people can run the same application. But, in most cases, when updating a program, you must first close it, i.e. complete its process. If there are not many clients, then you can use the task manager, but if there are about 100 of them, then this is already problematic. And the Taskkill command allows you to kill all processes for a specific application.
2) Automatic program restart - as you know, not all programs work perfectly and sometimes they freeze. And if this program must work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, then you have to periodically check its performance.
Personally, I came across the following situation: there is an online store into which product data is uploaded from 1C. But the handler is written somehow crookedly, as a result of which the exchange freezes once a day, or even every 2-3 hours. Therefore, it became necessary to forcefully restart the handler every hour, regardless of whether the program froze or not.
And so, let's move on to practice.
