Up Services Tab Programs Tab Optimization Tab AutoStart Tab Log Tab Saving Changes

 

 

The Services tab allows you configure which services you want to stop or stop and restart when you run the profile.

You can click on any column to sort the list by that column.  Note the items are sorted by group first, and then by the column.  Click the column again to sort by descending order.  The order is indicated by the arrow on the column.

The current status of the service is displayed both as an icon and under the Status column.

To change the action you wish to perform for a service, right click on the service.  A menu will appear with the types of actions you can select.  They are:

Nothing Nothing will done to the service
Stop The service will be stopped if it is running.  It will not be started after the monitored programs are closed.
Stop then Start The service will be stopped if it is running, and then restarted once the monitored programs are closed.
Start The service will be started if it is stopped.  It will not be stopped after the monitored programs are closed.

Once you select an action, the service will be moved to that group in the list.

If you select a service that has dependent services, you will be notified which services they are and asked if you wish to continue.  If you select yes, then those services will automatically be marked with the same action that you selected.

If you are inheriting from a Top Level profile, any services that were marked with an action in the Top Level profile will appear here with a (Inherited) note on its Action.

To set more than one service to the same action, you can highlight multiple services by holding down the Shift key and moving the mouse over the services.  Once you have highlighted all the services you want, right click and select the Action.

AlacrityPC allows English version of Windows to display information about services from the BlackViper.com web site.  Select the service, right click, and select View Info About.  If the service is listed on BlackViper.com, the page will be displayed in your default browser.  BlackViper.com is an excellent resource for services, and can recommend which services you may want to shutdown.

You can see a quick description and recommended action in the status bar underneath the Services list.  As you select a service, this information will update to display a recommended action as determined from information at the BlackViper.com web site.  Clicking on the "Set to Recommended Action" will automatically set the selected service's action to what is displayed.  You can also select multiple services and set all their actions to their recommended actions.
