When it comes to Windows XP, many people may think that it is just an operating system that a highly configured computer can enjoy. Why is Windows XP consuming resources?

Auto: If a service is set to auto, it will run with Windows XP, which will increase the time it takes to start, but some services must be set to automatic, because these The service is closely related to the system. If it is set to other startup methods, the system will have problems, so it is best not to move them.

Manual: If a service is set to manual, the service will not start and will only be started when it is needed. This will save a lot of system resources.

Disabled: If a service is set to disabled, it means that the service will no longer be started, even if it is needed, it will not start if you think a service is true It's useless, you can choose it.

Which services should be banned
