Windows features you do not really need

The truth is that at Microsoft they try very hard to please everyone every time they release a version of Windows. Of course, keeping everyone happy is a difficult enough task, and as a result there are pre-enabled Windows features in each version's core feature set that you may not need.

The Windows already occupy a considerable amount of space for their development and run many services by default. You will probably never use most of them, and basically you do not even know they exist.

Fortunately, all the features that you want or need will be in a list that you can configure. This brings a little boost to the performance of your machine and lets you choose the tools you want to work with. You can find enough tutorials on our topic on the internet.

Let's see how we can find the Windows capabilities table and which ones can safely be disabled.

step 1: Go to Control Panel and click on "Programs and Features".

step 2: Click the "Enable or disable Windows features" link. Administrator rights are required.

step 3: Remove them which is usually nothing but a waste of space on your system. But let's see what is safe to remove
