A Quick Question About Manual VS Disabled
« on: November 19, 2009, 01:15:23 AM »
I have done some searching both here and on google and cannot seem to find a definitive answer. In Windows 7 if a service is set to manual does it take up any memory or system resources? A large chunk of the "Tweaked" services are set to manual by default. Other than completely disabling any future functionality, is there any gain to setting these at Manual vs Disabled?

If a service is in the "started" state, it takes up memory, regardless if it is in manual or automatic. Disabled is used to stop a service from starting to not take up memory or avoid said memory use. Many services if in manual mode, will start when called upon and remain started. Disabled, again, will not allow that to happen.
