Thank you Frank.

The services with the numbers at the end can't be included since the numbers will be unique on every computer.

Those follow the parent service and after the restart they will be started/stopped based on its setting.

Removing the number will give the name of the original service in the registry.
For example: Contact Data_xxxxx is PimIndexMaintenanceSvc_xxxxx, so default:

Code:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PimIndexMaintenanceSvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f

P.S.: Since those service tend to be disabled privacy tools, it would be nice to be able to reset them.

Got a quick question. What does data sharing service do? Plus it is set to manual trigger does that mean it only starts when needed or should it be running all the time?

Hello Purpleroses,

The Data Sharing Service provides data brokering betweem applications and it is running as LocalSystem in a shared process of svchost.exe. Other services might run in the same process. If Data Sharing Service fails to load or initialize, Windows 10 start up proceeds. Make sure that the DsSvc.dll file exists in the %WinDir%\System32 folder.

"Manual trigger" is to run the service on demand only.

Hello @Brink ,

OP table shows Manual for Update Orchestrator Service.
Two PCs, 20H2 and 2004 (both unmodified to my knowledge as far as services settings go), show Automatic (Delayed Start) for this service.

Any idea why the discrepancy? Thanks.

Hello Steve,

Looks like it was changed at some point. Tutorial now updated. Thank you.
