Stop Un-Needed Services for Online Gaming

l_Hawk_l

I've decided to take a moment and share something that advanced computer Guru's may know...but you..may not.

There are certain services that continue running while we are playing any online game, notably CrossFire, which we really don't need to be running.
In your process manager, you can see a list of services running. Most of us are cautious about which of those services we can STOP without affecting any important computer functioning. (And there are Background services that we cannot see in the task manager)

I've re-edited a batch file that you can create on your own, EASILY.

Batch file? - I'll get to that.

First go to your notepad and open it.
Copy all of this below..

net stop "AVSync Manager"
net stop "Automatic Updates"
net stop "Computer Browser"
net stop "Cryptographic Services"
net stop "Distributed Link Tracking Client"
net stop "Help and Support"
net stop "Logical Disk Manager"
net stop "Messenger"
net stop "Print Spooler"
net stop "Protected Storage"
net stop "Server"
net stop "Shell Hardware Detection"
net stop "System Event Notification"
net stop "System Restore Service"
net stop "Task Scheduler"
net stop "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper"
net stop "Themes"
net stop "Upload Manager"
net stop "WebClient"
net stop "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)"
net stop "Windows Management Instrumentation"
net stop "Windows Time"
net stop "Workstation"
net stop "System Event Notification"
net stop "COM+ Event System"
net stop "Network Connections"
net stop "Network Location Awareness (NLA)"
net stop "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager"
net stop "SSDP Discovery Service"


pskill ERtray
pskill EPMWOR~1
pskill dbgout
pskill usrbridg
pskill ctfmon
pskill Alogserv
pskill RuLaunch
pskill devldr32

Once pasting this in your Notepad, go to Save As..

For the filename, save it as "whateveryouwant.bat" WITH QUOTES
I saved mine as "NetServices.bat"

Save it in a convenient location and use to kill services. (This just stops the services, not disabling them. So they will start again when you need them for what they pertain to.)


*The netstop ^ command is pretty self explanatory, it stops the service in conjunction with it.
*pskill ^ command is an added bonus for killing Background Services.
*Typing while using quotes around Somethinghere.bat lets notepad know to save the file as a .bat file...or Batch File.

Additional Note: Running the file as an adiministrator is always not a bad idea. If you need to know how to run it as administrator...PM me.

Why u do this.

Purificator

Nice... but, how do you reactivate these services?

I use gamebooster to kill all unwanted backgrounds services... Its the same thing you did here?

Yes, but gamebooster doesnt stop all processes.

If you feel the need to turn any of the services back on or START..
just go to the Task Manager (Ctr,Alt,Del.. Task Manager)

Select Services tab..then scroll to the service.
Right click it and select START.

It would help to have the batch file or the thread open for easy scrolling.

And - If you right click wherever your saved batch file is, you can select edit.. it will open in Notepad. There you can choose to delete a couple if you don't want them to be shut off during the fix.
I haven't had the need to, but some may...

I was using Smartclose prior to this method.
It's more for closing running 'Programs'. (many programs' services still run when programs are closed, some may not know this)
I prefered it over gamebooster because it didn't run while CrossFire was.


Comparing methods....for me it seems this way stopped more than the Smartclose program. It focused on the services more, and more of them..including background services.

For some reason on my desktop when I'd run crossfire, it would start skipping frames a lot after around 10 minutes of gaming so I can't use it and I don't wanna screw up my comp over some small program that barely boosts my fps

And, to restore I do...?

Just Download Soft Called - 360Amigo System Speedup, and be happy! This soft have a wonder button "Enable PowerPC" - All programs are shutdown, and you can play CF without:

and FPS up :P

Thanks for typing this out,what some people don't understand is what you can do that other programs can not do
Unless time is taken to configure them.

Well. I guess you'd have to restart your computer to get the programs running again... I guess....? Seems like a lot of work just to get a CPU Based game working.

More than likely the services will start when they are once again called upon by the programs that created the service. Lets say you shut off a service for your browser(just an example) when you open your browser then the service will then start.

Like he said in the guide: Those processes that you're disabling are not needed. But once they are required to be running, they'll automatically start right up. The batch file stops them from running when you don't need them.
