Windows 8/8.1 has a lot of thoughtful features, which in most cases can bring you convenience or security. However, nothing is absolute, and in some cases you may need to turn off these features. The following tells you why you should turn off the useless "postal" function of the Win8 system. 1. Faster "Quick Start> The Windows 8 Quick Start is a setting that allows the computer to start up faster the next time it is turned off. This is done by saving the system information to a file before shutting down. By default, Quick Launch is enabled in Windows. However, some netizens found that their computer was shut down due to the special nature of the hardware configuration. After the "quick start", the boot did not slow down much, but it could free up a lot of space for its SSD. Since there are advantages and disadvantages to quick start, after weighing the pros and cons, it is not a bad idea if you need to close it. Through the control panel, select <; hardware and sound & rarr; power options & rarr; select the power button function & rarr; change the currently unavailable settings & rdquo;, in the "Shutdown settings" & rdquo; see "always fast start ( (Recommended) & rdquo; option, deselect and click “ save changes & rdquo; to turn off the quick start function (Figure 1). 2. Unusual space-occupied sleep hibernation is a thoughtful feature of Windows that allows all data in memory to be saved to a hibernation file, but the increased hibernation data is almost equivalent to the full memory capacity. There are quite a few users who use the computer to use the hibernation function. When they are not used, they shut down. They are more concerned about the hard disk space. In this case, you can turn off the sleep to make room. Press [Win + X] to select “ Command Prompt (Admin) & rdquo;, then execute the “powercfg /h off” command to quickly shut down hibernation (Figure 2). Tip: After the hibernation function is turned off, the hibernation file will be cleared, and the kernel session of Windows 8 cannot be written to the hard disk, resulting in a quick start failure. The sleep function may continue to work, but when a sudden power outage occurs during sleep, the sleep data cannot be converted to a hibernation file, and there is a risk that the data cannot be saved and lost. Therefore, if hard disk space is allowed, it is recommended to keep the sleep function. 3. No need for personal power-on passwords By default, Windows 8 power-on login requires a password. However, for a home PC or notebook, if you only use one, the environment is relatively safe, then there is no need to enter the password every time you turn it on. Let the system remember the password you set, and it is more convenient to automatically log in with your password every time you turn it on. Just press [Win+R] and execute the “control userpasswords2” command in the “Run” dialog box, and clear in the “User Accounts” management window. To use this machine, the user must enter the username and password. ” The selected state of the option. This way, the next time you start the system, you will automatically log in to the system with the account password you set earlier. 4. Automatic update of existing custodians Now there are some third-party system tools, and can also manage Windows 8 system automatic updates. For example, 360 security guards' system updates will prompt which patches must be updated according to the situation, which patches can be updated, and which patches After the update may have side effects, etc., more considerate. Therefore, if you choose a third-party system update tool, the system's own update prompts and updates become a burden. Press the Win+X shortcut key combination and select “Control Panel Full & Rarr; System & Security & Rarr; Windows Update & Rarr; Enable or Disable Auto Update > Select “ Never Check Updates & "OK" The button closes the automatic update (Figure 3). Then click the taskbar action center small banner icon, select “change the operation center settings” open the operation center, remove the option for “Windows Update" and click the “OK" button. 5. Tow & ldquo; Dead & rdquo; automatic maintenance of the system If your computer configuration is not high, Windows 8 system automatic maintenance function makes your system run slow, and even there will be illusion of crash, no response. In this case, it is better to turn it off and use a third-party tool (such as the system maintenance module in the 360 Security Guard component) to periodically maintain the system. In the "Operation Center", the "Automatic Maintenance" option is not resolved at all, it is just a message prompt option. To completely disable this feature, you need to implement it in the planning task. By "Control Panel & Rarr; Management Tools & Rarr; Task Scheduler", find “\\Microsoft\\Windows\\TaskScheduler”, disable “Idle Maintenance” and “Regular Maintenance” two tasks to disable automatic maintenance (such as Figure 4). 6. What you don't like is “tofu block”. The most striking thing about Windows 8 is the “tofu block” of the brick sticker. This interface is best for watching news and entertainment on mobile devices. use. For users who work or design on a PC for a long time, this interface is basically useless, and it becomes a burden after each boot. To disable the Metro interface, simply run the “regedit” command with the Win+R key combination, open the Registry Editor, expand “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer”, and create a new DWORD type on the right. The key value RPEnabled is set to 0. If you want to restore the Metro function in the future, just delete the RPEnabled value as usual. Tip: If you want to use the Metro interface occasionally, you can also disable it and set the system splash screen to the traditional desktop environment. You only need to set the taskbar properties, select “ in the “Navigation” page, when I log in or close all apps on the screen, go to the desktop instead of the start screen. 7. Leaking your "Privacy" Jump List Windows 8 Taskbar Program Jump List seems to be very considerate and can bring convenience to the operation. However, sometimes it can reveal your whereabouts and privacy. As shown in Figure 5, the list of IE addresses on the network is all above (Figure 5). Therefore, from the perspective of privacy protection, it is sometimes necessary to turn off this jump list memory function. From the right-click menu of the taskbar, select “Properties → Jump List”, cancel the two choices under “Privacy” (Figure 6), and confirm.
