## Service Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows services are background processes for system functions or applications. Setting some to manual optimizes performance by starting them only when needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can find information about services on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_service) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/introduction-to-windows-service-applications).
