I recently and accidentally ran across some things disabled on my laptop. I have a Lenovo G50-45 running the newest Windows 10. As follows:                    ijs2ifsl

Should these be disabled?

Answer 1

We appreciate your response. The highlighted items are currently disabled due to the following conditions:

• Hardware specific. An example would be the Winsock IFS Driver. This is a kernel driver which is configured depending on the installed hardware ony our device.
• Disabled by default. Items such as CD/DVD File System Reader (cdfs) and Universal Disk Format File System (udfs) are utilized based on the instruction from the device or when the need arises.

We'd recommend retaining the current configuration of your device to avoid untoward issues.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

Hi Lisa,

Cnghwassist is a type of SYS file which is associated with Windows 10 operating system (OS). SYS files are essential component of the OS. To better understand your concern, we'd like to know the following:
