How can I disable "volume shadow service" on windows 7

I would like to disable VSS on a computer that we use as a terminal. I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit system. I disable it in Services, but my event log fills up with error messages for Volume Shadow Service stating that the service cannot be started.

Hello

It is possible to disable the Volume Shadow Copy Service using the Microsoft Management Console. However, you should not do this. VSS disabling negatively affect all software you are using that depends on, like Windows Server backup and system restore.

Reference:

If you need help disabling the service, I'd recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums.

    However, if you want to remove your account information Microsoft User of your computer before selling it, you can use the Microsoft user account to a local account.

  • How can I disable Group Policy Service in Win 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 on my computer at home?

    I'm not able to disable the Group Policy Manager (even if my user ID has administrator privileges)

    In other words, when I click on the box next to the service in MSCONFIG

    the audit go far - but as soon as I hit the key "Apply", the control is displayed again.

    I also went directly in 'Services '. Once there, I went to the "group policy".

    '' 'Manager' again. I went into the service and concluded that the selection for "Startup Type" was

    gray - it has failed me the ability to change from "Automatic" to "off."

    nor could I stop it.

    I tried to locate the Group Policy Client gpsvc entry in the registry and by assigning to my user name according to the instructions on:

    http://everydaynerd.com/how-to/disable-group-policy-service-on-windows-vista7 - but I couldn't find the HKLM key or the

    gpsvc entry in my registry (so I'm not clear on how/where it is getting kicked off the power, but he began is, since I can see running in the Task Manager / Services tab).
    I also tried to add the DWORD of DisableGPS entry and parameter to a value of '1' - but it does not work either - service group strategy continues to run after I refill...
    Other thoughts on how I can get this service disabled?

    Sorry, I am unable to reconcile the two contradictory facts in your report: you have a service of group running on the one hand policy, but no corresponding entry in the registry. I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    On machines without the Group Policy snap-in you must change the registry manually with the help of clues, you get the spreadsheet of Group Policy download you here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=18c90c80-8b0a-4906-a4f5-ff24cc2030fb#filelist. It is a rather tedious work.

  • How can I disable the memory shared in Windows 7?

    I have a PC HP brand new with 6 GB of RAM, and I just installed a 2 GB Nvidia graphics card.  When I checked the graphic properties is what I see...

    MB 4095 total available graphics memory

    Dedicated video memory 2048 MB

    System video memory 0 MB

    Shared system memory 2047 MB

    Total available graphics memory should be 2 GB 4 GB not

    The dedicated video memory is correct.

    Shared system memory must be zero, but it's not.

    When I installed the graphics card and turned on the pc, it automatically installed card and its drivers.

    I read somewhere online that a few new pc will automatically disable the onboard graphics during the installation of a card that I checked, and Yes, it's now disalbled.  But I still see this shared in the properties of the graphics system memory.  Why is this and how can I solve this problem?

  • How can I disable apps full screen in windows 8

    For example - I read a PDF file, then it fills my monitor 24 inch with 1 file. I really need to fill about a third of my screen, so I can see the PDF, so I create the Word file, I'm trying. I want also several browser windows, a window of power point and excel in WINDOWS window, not full-screen. I NEVER do anything full-screen because it is so restrictive.

    Start with something simple - like PDF reader? How can it NOT be full screen, because I NEVER want it to be full screen?

    Windows 8 has a built-in PDF MS player, who always default to full screen and cannot be changed. The "issue" here comes from the execution of MS Windows 8 applications in mosaic.

    Download an application external, like Adobe Reader and open the PDF file with this application and you can open the PDF file in a window very well.
