    Hi, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, for us to disable unnecessary services running in the background and speed up the PC, kindly follow the steps below:

    Do clean boot:

    A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
    • On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
    • Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
    • Close Task Manager.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.

    Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

    Bernard

    • On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.

    @Lester BernardReyes, after doing this, is there a way to undo this operation to reenable them all without also enabling those which were already disabled? Because some things might stop working.

    If not, before disabling everything, it would be prudent to sort the Services on Startup Type and make a note of all the Disabled ones, so as to avoid putting them back later.
