Speed ​​up the computer, filter Win8 self-starting system service

When you get a new computer, what do you do first? Some friends may install the software directly, but I usually set up the current system to make it more suitable for my habits. After the introduction of Windows 8, the setting synchronization function was added to synchronize the settings of one Win8 computer to another through a Microsoft account. Only some deep system settings will not work, such as changes to system services. Some people may ask, is it not dangerous to tamper with system services?
