The truth is, the guys at Microsoft try really hard to please everyone every time they release one 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 features that are usually just a waste of space on your system. Let's see, however, what is safe to remove

Η Sharing support files SMB 1.0/CIFS (SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support) makes it possible to communicate across the network with computers running older versions of Windows. It is enabled by default and you can leave it in this state if the plus above appliescase for you.
The Telnet client program and Telnet Server (Telnet Client and Server) are oriented towards managing the telnet connection. Gradually this trait dies after the activities that require it have been reduced to a minimum.
