Windows 7: Service Controller and Background Processing About this Video At any given point, Windows is executing a lot of code. Some of this code runs in the background as services. In pre Windows 7 operating systems some services were set to auto run even though the configuration of the system (installed apps, hardware, etc) did not warrant them running. Chittur Subbaraman, Windows kernel developer extraordinaire, and team spent a great deal of time thinking about and rectifying these problems by re-architecting the Windows 7 Service Controller. Watch this video to learn about the details and history of the service controller (and Task Manager). Presented by Yochay Downloads Video: WMV
