Windows itself runs all kinds of crap. From auto-updates(which i disable on slow computers), to a few different things for networks that obviously, if you don’t have a network you don’t need, lame error reporting, fast user switching which is dumb, help and support(lol), HTTP SSL and the list goes on…probably a good 20 things that can be disabled if you a.) aren’t on a network and b.) aren’t running a webpage off your computer…/shrug atleast that’s what I do.
