Hello dear readers, today I would like to talk:
1. ABOUT Windows services what it is, what it is for and which ones are responsible for what.
2.And how do you improve the speed of your computer?
So what are these Windows services?
Services- applications that are automatically or manually launched by the system when Windows startup and various tasks performed regardless of the user's status.
Open the list of services in several ways:
1. While holding windows button press R, a window will open, there enter services.msc
2. Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services
3. Start> right click on my computer> Manage> Services and Applications> Services
As you can see, there are a lot of them in Windows and after downloading, you can familiarize yourself what services exist and what each of them is responsible for.
Since services are applications, they therefore run and use some of the computer's resources. you can improve its performance. Let's see what you can disable.
What services can be disabled in Windows 7, 8
I did not make a list of those services that can be disabled, tk. many services are individual. I just tried to describe each service and in what situations they can be disabled. If you need to turn off something thoughtlessly, then just use it.
* BranchCache - The service caches online content. If you do not use your home network, you can disable it altogether.
* DHCP Client - If you use the Internet, do not touch in any case. It is this service that assigns you an ip address.
* DNS client — It is also a necessary service for using the Internet. Works with your DNS (serves for the right directions).
* KtmRm for Distributed Transaction Coordinator - system function of transactions. We leave it the same way.
* Microsoft .NET Framework - We leave all such services as they are. They are used for the normal operation of most applications.
* Parental Controls - Service for parental control. If not using, you can disable it.
* Plug-and-Play - serves for automatic recognition of changes in the system. For example, when you connect a USB flash drive, this service wakes up ... So we leave it as it is.
* Quality Windows Audio Video Experience - transmission of audio and video over the network in real time. It is not needed only if there is no network (or Internet), in other cases we leave it.
* Remote Desktop Configuration - For remote desktop. If you do not use remote connections, disable it.
* Superfetch - A useful function that works with the cache. Accelerates Windows work, so we leave.
* Windows Audio - Controls the sound. If you do not need a sound, turn off. In other cases, we leave it.
* Windows CardSpace - unnecessary and insecure service. For this, we turn it off.
* Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework - for normal operation of the drivers, do not touch. Let it remain as it is.
* Windows Search - Indexing files for search. If you do not use it and there is time to wait until the file is found, then disable it. On ssd, be sure to disable it!
* WMI Performance Adapter - needed for services requiring wmi, set manually. If some applications are needed, they will launch themselves)
* WWAN Auto Config - service for use mobile internet... If you use usb modem, SIM card in the laptop, then do not disconnect.
* Offline files - helps to work offline with inaccessible files that were loaded before. We put it manually.
* Network Access Protection Agent - We put it manually, because if necessary, the service will start if some program asks for the necessary information.
* BUTIPsec Policy Gent - Needed if there is a network and the Internet.
* Adaptive brightness control - We leave if there is a light sensor.
* Windows Backup - Disconnect if not in use. But it's better to read about archiving in windows, you never know, you will use it.
* Windows Biometric Service - only needed when using biometric devices. In other cases, disable it.
* Windows Firewall - To be honest, I always turn it off. There is nothing to steal from me) And if they encrypt the data, I will restore it) But I would advise you to get, for example, a Kaspersky Internet security, which has both an antivirus and a firewall. And turn off this one nafig, tk. it sometimes blocks what is not needed) In general, it monitors the security of your computer and closes ports so that thieves cannot get into your computer)
* Computer browser — No need for a home network. Manually.
* Web client - Tedious if there is no internet. Serves for working with files on the Internet. We leave.
* Virtual disk - Service for working with storage devices. We put it manually.
* IP Helper Service - Works with protocol version 6. I always disable it myself, so you can disable the service altogether.
* Secondary login - Set manually, because some games or programs will turn it on as needed.
* Grouping network participants - Needed for a home group. Set manually, you never know you need ...
* Disk Defragmenter - In principle, it does not interfere. You can leave it on or off. If you disable it, I recommend doing it once a month. And for ssd drives, turn it off altogether!
* Remote Access Automatic Connection Manager - We put it manually. Needed for remote connections.
* Print Manager - Needed if you have something to print from. In other cases, disable it.
* Remote Access Connection Manager - manually. Once I disconnected it altogether and could not create a connection. So it's better by hand.
* Desktop Window Manager Session Manager - If you are not using transparency from Aero, then you can turn it off, it will give a big boost.
* Network Participant Identity Manager - Better to put it manually.
* Credential Manager - Better by hand. Stores your data, such as usernames and passwords.

I tried to present the entire list of services. By disabling some of them, you will improve the performance of your computer. You can also decide at your own discretion which ones are needed and which are not. For example, if there is no Internet, then you can safely cut half of it, if there is no printer, then you can also turn off a lot. Thus, depending on your needs, you can significantly revitalize your old computer.
The error often manifests itself on computers with "pirated assemblies" of Windows 7,8,8.1 operating systems. I also fixed a similar error several times on licensed systems.
The main symptom is the inability to get the network connection settings; it is impossible to connect to a computer network via LAN. A similar entry is recorded in the system logs:
Network and Sharing Center reports that the child service could not be started.
Diagnostics Windows networks reports: Diagnostic Policy Service is not running.
There are several ways to fix the malfunction, I suggest some of the working ones.
Method 1. Reset IP and DNS settings for all network connections.
The method works only if the indicated services are turned on, which is quite rare.
Commands are executed in command line(command line call Win + R, cmd Enter). Press Enter at the end of the command.
Resetting and getting a new IP from the DHCP server:
ipconfig / release
ipconfig / renew
Resetting the DNS cache:
ipconfig / flushdns
Complete reset of TCP / IP pool and Winsock protocol settings:
netsh int ip reset c: \ log1.txt
netsh winsock reset from: \ log2.txt
After resetting the settings, you need to restart the computer, in the command line this can be done with the command:
shutdown -r -t 0
Method 2. Start system services
In some cases, the required services were unknowingly disabled by the user himself during computer tuning through system optimizers or a third-party firewall. To start, you need to call the snap-in Services in any available way.
Standard access path: Start / Control Panel / System and Security / Administrative Tools / Services
In this snap-in, you need to check the status of the following services:
IPsec Policy Agent
Diagnostic Policy Service
Diagnostic Service HostDiagnostic system node
The first two need to set the launch method Automatically, for the rest - Manually
After that, you need to restart your computer.
Method 3. Adding access rights for the network subsystem.
From here
The solution is somewhat collective farm, so I did not check it myself, but according to reviews on the network, it sometimes works.
We open access to the C: drive for the LOCAL SERVICE services through the system shell, and not through the line. For this:
We start the explorer
Right-click on Disk C, in the drop-down menu, select "Properties"
in the tabs at the top, select the "Security" snap-in
Under the list "Group and users" click "Change"
Then click "Add", in the next window "Select:" Users and Groups "click" Advanced. "Next, we look for groups of users registered in the system. In the search results, we look for the service" LOCAL SERVICE ", then for all questions OK and where it is denied access just continue and then reboot the system.
Method 4. Allowing network services to write to the system registry.
From here
An error of this kind occurs when the Network Service group is not granted full access to the Diag directory in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ servic es \ VSS registry key, or the volume shadow copy service registry value is corrupted.
To fix the problem, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ servic es \ VSS branch in the registry editor, right-click on the Diag folder, select "Permissions ...", select the Network Service group, check the Full access box in the "Allow ", click the" Apply "," OK "buttons. If there is no Diag branch, create it manually and perform all the described manipulations.
After the performed manipulations, restart the computer.
Method 5. Adding network services to the Administrators security group
In fact, the repetition of operations from 3 ways, but without excessive body movements and time-consuming waiting and applying the settings. I checked the method myself, it works.
For the English-speaking system:
net localgroup Administrators / add networkservice
net localgroup Administrators / add localservice
exit
We reboot the computer.
For a Russified system:
In any available way, run cmd with Administrator rights, execute the following commands:
net localgroup Administrators / add networkservice
net localgroup administrators / add localservice
exit
We reboot the computer.
There are other ways to eliminate this error, for example, by editing local policies, but the above are enough for me. I have not yet met with cases that at least one of them did not work.

Question: [SOLVED] Services not working: diagnostic policy, information about connected networks, list of networks
Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.
The laptop sees a list of WiFi networks in the window that pops up from the tray, it cannot connect to any, it does not connect to LAN either, in the Network and Sharing Center instead of the network card, "No data. Failed to start child service." Last time I connected via WiFi in the spring, via LAN - about 19.07, after that I sit (and now too) through Nokia phone(communication with him via Bluetooth, to the Internet via remote access built into Nokia Suite), now I want this: communication via WiFi with a computer (stationary with a USB-WiFi adapter) via a wireless computer-computer network (usual WiFi network does not want to do), through it access to the Internet. He sees the network, gives you a password, it seems, he even connects, but there is no Internet. When looking for problems, it says that the diagnostic policy service is not running. In services, it is really disabled, it starts automatically, it does not start manually, error 5 "Access denied" (I start "Services" from under the user as an administrator).
Rolled back. Disabled antivirus. Admins, users, separately each profile from that and that group, the system and TrustedInstaller are given full access (including reading) to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ services \ DPS \ Parameters (owner - TrustedInstaller). TrustedInstaller "and typed in like this:" NT SERVICE \ TrustedInstaller "(without quotes). Does not help. I can not reinstall Windows - not my computer.
I'm not sure about the need to start two other services, I was told directly about the diagnostic policy service that this was an error, but, it seems, these two services are more related to networks, and there were other discussions about them as well. Both start automatically. The Network List Service depends on the Connected Network Listing Service, and therefore does not start. The service of information about the connected networks gives an error and offers to look at the logs, but I do not know what exactly.
What to do?
Answer: True, I still can't connect via a computer-to-computer wireless network, but that's another matter. Nevertheless thank you.

Q: Service Not Running: Diagnostic Policies
Good day! Windows 2008r2 x64
After the usual server reboot, at startup, I noticed a feature, namely the cross on the "network connection" icon, began to dig further and it turned out that the "Diagnostic Policy Service" service did not start with the error "Code 5: Access Denied"
What has been done:
1.Given full access to the system volume for the Local Service and Network Service groups
2.In the registry, there is also full access to these groups on the branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ services \ VSS and HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ WDI \ Config
3.Importing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ services \ VSS registry branch from a similar server
4.Adding an Administrator to the Local Service and Network Service groups
5.Starting service on behalf of Administrator, Network Service and Local Service
The error persists for now.

Q: How to start diagnostic policy service "Diagnostic policy service has not started"
Please tell me how to start the diagnostic policy service. There are no system restore points.
Answer: Roll back to the restore point before the problem occurs.
If it does not help or there are no points, run in the command line as administrator
sfc / scannow
AND
If there are uncorrected errors, then in the same place do
findstr / c: ""% windir% \ logs \ cbs \ cbs.log>% USERPROFILE% \ Desktop \ sfcdetails.txt
The file will appear on the desktop sfcdetails.txt, upload it to the forum
Q: Policy Service does not connect diagnostics - error 05
Hello, please help. After the computer was disconnected incorrectly, it stopped connecting via wi-fi to the Internet. When you do diagnostics, it says that the diagnostic policy service is disabled. I tried to connect this service - it says access is denied. I have already done everything that I found on the internet, and cleared the cache, and dropped the IP address, nothing ...
Answer: how to rollback? but there is no disk.
Q: The Diagnostic Policy Service has not started. Network does not work
Good day. A friend's network fell off ... as he says after updating the BIOS through the MSI LiveUpdate utility. Shows error "diagnostic policy service is not running". They sinned on the utility, on the BIOS, the firewood of the network - they reinstalled the firewood ... the BIOS was rolled back to an earlier one - everything was useless.
As a result, a friend reinstalled the system and the problem still remained. I do not know if it is a virus or something else, but I advised to make logs ... maybe there is something in them. Although the system is already new ... but I have no more ideas.
And yes ... Google used it, the solution with the registry was of no use.
If not, then move the topic to the desired section.
Answer:
Question: [Solved] Time Service does not start automatically (when Windows 7 starts)
Because of this, the clocks are not automatically synchronized. If you start the Time Service manually, the clock starts synchronizing normally according to the normal schedule set.
If, when the Time Service is disabled, you manually synchronize the time (using the "Update now" button), then the Service starts and the clock is synchronized normally. But neither when Windows starts, nor when the synchronization time comes, the Time Service does not start automatically.
In the Service settings, the startup type is "Automatic" (I turned it on myself, since the default was "Manual"). Login to the system - "With the account" local service "". That is, everything seems to be correctly and normally spelled out, but the service starts only manually. Moreover, such a canoe on all computers with Win 7.
There was no such problem in Windows XP.
Maybe I have a system distribution like this? Please try someone else to enable the automatic start of the Time Service. Will it start itself on system reboot?
Answer: I ran into a problem on a laptop with Windows 7 with a dying BIOS battery, when after a long period of non-use by the laptop, the time is reset to the production date and to change it, I had to go into the date and time settings and forcibly synchronize the time over the Internet. As the comrade said homa2 above, the problem is that the service starts and stops. For details, who are interested, follow the link
Solution to the problem from microsoft
In short:
By default, in Windows 7, the w32time service is configured to start when connected to a domain and stop when disconnected from a domain, you can check the status with the command:
sc qtriggerinfo w32time
For myself, I solved the problem by configuring the start of the service when connected to the network, for this you need to run the following command:
sc triggerinfo w32time start / networkon stop / networkoff
Where
start / networkon<Запуск службы при первом IP-адресе>
stop / networkoff<Остановить службу при отсутствии IP-адресов>
By default, automatic time synchronization is possible only with a difference of no more than 15 hours, I found information about this here
This value (default) can be changed in the registry by editing the parameters, I set to the maximum (time is indicated in seconds):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ W32Time \ Config

Q: Configuring Windows 7 Services
Everything that is written here is not a reference for configuring services. Everyone chooses a config to suit their needs.
You can speed up the system and free up some memory by prohibiting the loading of unnecessary system services. You can disable unnecessary services through Control Panel---Administration---Services
or Start --- Run--- services.msc. Here you need to be extremely careful, because if you disable all services in a row, you can bring the system into an inoperative state and face such a situation that you cannot turn everything back on. To completely avoid problems when experimenting with services, it is advisable before doing these experiments,
save the registry branch responsible for starting system services. To do this, do the following:
Start - Run --- regedit - OK... Will start windows registry... In the registry, follow the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services In the left column, select the Services folder and through the File --- Export menu Save this branch.
