Go into your services window and look at all the services set to automatic.
Read the description and determine if you need that service. If you do not, set it to "Manual". If it is really needed for your computer, it will start when it is needed. Also, go on the internet and search for services required for you windows version. You will get loads of responses to select from to set your services. You can also look at your startup needs and disable those you do not need.
You can download a free software product at CNet.com call CCleaner. It has the software to help you determine the services and startups needed. Another free software download is McGlary Utilities which will help also.
