Removing unwanted Windows services with Powershell
at
Hello guys,
Today I will give a quick tip for removing unwanted Windows services. Various software often create unwanted on the system services that are running in the background and consuming unnecessary resources.
Baidu for example, creates not only his services, but several other software “crapware“. To clean your computer of unnecessary services can use the Powershell and WMI. When instantiating an Object in powershell WMI, i.e. create a new variable with the information of the desired class, we can access the delete() method, do it before instantiating the class filtering service with the desired name.
$service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='servicename'" $service.delete()
That beeing done, the service has been successfully removed ! Remembering that this command must be run in administration mode as it is a computer level task, and not just user level.
Doubts? Suggestions? Comment!
Until next time!
