Black Vipers Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Service Configurations

Black
Viper

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 Control Panel
Select Programs
Select Programs and Features
Select Turn Windows Features on or off

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

Do not use msconfig to disable services, type services.msc in the Run box instead or check this FAQ!
Before disabling any service, check out the service information about each by selecting the service name links provided.
Service settings are global, meaning changes apply to all users.
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.
WLAN Autoconfig service is required for normal operation of your wireless network card. It is listed here as Manual due to most desktops not needing wireless
access, but if you do have a wireless network card installed, it will be in Automatic by default.
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.
After adjusting your service settings, reboot your computer.
Before posting your question in the comments below, see if your question has been addressed in the FAQ!

Table Header Information

The columns are sortable. Select the column header to sort by that field.
DEFAULT ~ What MS thinks should be running on Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Safe Configuration ~ This is the configuration that 95% of the people will be able to use with little or no side effects. It will also minimizes the amount of errors
that is reported in the Event Viewer. This does not guarantee it will work for you, but if adjusting your services scares you, this configuration would be a good starting
point.

19 service settings have been changed from the default annotated by an (*) asterisk.

Tweaked ~ This is the configuration that I have developed to reduce the Safe services started, but maintain system security. This does not guarantee it will work
for you.

57 service settings have been changed from the default annotated by an (*) asterisk.
This configuration is a system that is still able to perform many LAN networking functions, such as file and print sharing, HomeGroup access and uses
wireless networking (laptop) plus leaves several security related features like the Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Windows Update active.
This configuration is not for a Windows Media Center PC. In this case, use Safe.
 Bare-bones ~ WARNING!! ~ This configuration disables many built in features of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 as well as several security features.

85 service settings have been changed from the default annotated by an (*) asterisk.
This configuration is not for a system that is directly connected to the internet as Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Windows Update are disabled!
This configuration is not for a laptop system as wireless networking (as well as Defender and Firewall) are disabled and will not be able to counter attacks
while roaming on some random wireless connection outside of the home.
This configuration is not for a system that internal network attacks are an issue. For example: Multiple PCs with multiple family members and inexperienced
users. For this situation, I highly recommend Safe to ensure network security and Windows Update compatibility.
This is not for a system that provides networked resources, such as printers, Media Center, and WMP library to other LAN connected computers.
Use this configuration at your own risk. It is only provided here as a reference for me to adjust my system setting. If you tweak your Windows 7 OS, use
Safe unless you read and understand what you are doing.

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.
Automatic (Delayed Start) ~ With a service in this state, it will start just after 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.
Manual ~ Manual mode allows Windows to start a service when needed. However, very few services will start up when required in Manual mode. If you find you
need a service, place it into Automatic.
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.
Started ~ A service that either set to Manual or Automatic that is running by default at or shortly after boot time.
Not Started ~ A service set into Automatic that is not running by default at or shortly after boot time.
Not Available ~ A service that does not apply to the particular version.
Uninstalled ~ The ability to uninstall a service that I recommend to be removed by using Add/Remove Windows Features.

Service Dependency Abbreviation Information

S ~ Windows 7 Starter
HB ~ Windows 7 Home Basic
HP ~ Windows 7 Home Premium
P ~ Windows 7 Professional
U ~ Windows 7 Ultimate
E ~ Windows 7 Enterprise
