Win8 off family group to reduce hard disk read and write

From the Task Manager we can clearly see that after the family group function is turned on, the hard disk will remain read and written. This seriously affects the user experience. So, let's try to close the family group and see what has changed.
When the family group function is turned on, the disk read amount is very large

We can find the "control panel" in the system, click “Administrative Tools” in the control panel, and then double click “Service”,

Find the “HomeGroupListener” service, double-click to open or right-click on the "Properties" command.
Control Panel —Administrative Tools
Management Tools—Services
Close“HomeGroupListener” &&quoquo;HomeGroupProvider&<<>

In the pop-up properties interface window, click the startup type on the General tab. The drop-down box, the list that comes out selects “disabled”. Then click the “Stop” button in the service state, and click the “OK" button to save the settings.
Disabling and stopping

Similarly, the same treatment is applied to the HomeGroupProvider service.
After the family group is closed, the number of disk reads and writes is greatly reduced.

Through the above processing, Win8 turns off the home group function, and the system will not read and write the hard disk and occupy the CPU for a long time. This allows for lower power consumption and heat generation, and ensures smooth operation when the user operates.
