TechnoWikis has mentioned to you many times that Windows 11, and the other versions, are service-based systems whose task is to allow many of the tasks that are executed both in the foreground and in the background to be carried out without errors. This is achieved thanks to the fact that the services allow the creation and administration of processes which are linked to the applications and programs. Something to keep in mind is that Windows services can be started without us carrying out the process, as well as they can continue to run even after closing the session..
These services work in the background and come into action when you start the computer, but when we install third-party applications or certain configurations have been made, services may be activated that can have a negative impact on the performance of Windows 11 as they are non-vital services. . In this case, we can eliminate said service, but TechnoWikis recommends that before removing a service, carefully review the type of service and its impact on the system, since if we accidentally remove a service from the system, we can trigger a series of global errors. Let's see various ways to remove a service in Windows 11.
