My pc uses around %40 ram when idle and after checking task manager i noticed i have around 40 services running and was wondering if there is any way to close or delete all the service files that arent necessary to windows as i most likely have a bunch i never actually use as i have a lot of programs installed

    Hello Mike,

    Good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    **Perform a Clean Boot

    I just recommend disabling unnecessary services. Deleting these services may cause your system to become unstable.

    Go to the search box > type msconfig

    Select System Configuration > go to the Services tab.

    Select and put a check mark on "Hide all Microsoft services" > Click Disable all.

    Go to Startup tab > Open Task Manager > Disable all the unnecessary services running there. Restart your computer.

    Kindly check the support article below for more details

    Kind regards,
