Description

@HuckleR2003

Milestone: v1.7.5
Research: ASC Turbo Boost stops 20-30 services, claims biggest performance gain.

Goal: Safe service management with easy rollback.

Never touch:

  • Network services
  • Audio
  • Graphics drivers
  • Security (Defender, Firewall)
  • Core Windows services

Tech:

  • subprocess: sc stop [service] / sc start [service]
  • Check service status before stop
  • Track original state (running/stopped)
  • Auto-restore on TURBO disable

Profiles:

  • Gaming Mode: Stop most aggressive list
  • Work Mode: Keep search, stop Xbox/Bluetooth
  • Economy Mode: Stop everything safe

UI:

  • Service checklist (user can customize)
  • Current status indicator
  • One-click restore all

Safety:

  • Whitelist critical services (hardcoded)
  • Confirm before first use
  • Detailed log of what was stopped
  • Auto-restore if crash detected on next boot

Success:

  • Noticeable performance gain (especially on HDDs)
  • Zero broken functionality users notice
  • Easy restore
  • Trust from users (they actually enable it)
