How To Disable / Enable A Batch Of Services

Mar 23, 2016

Is there an easy way to disable and re-enable groups of services / processes in Windows 10 so that the computer can be switched between optimization 'profiles' for, say, routine office work, audio/video editing, and gaming?

I have two computers now - one for routine office work (e.g., Office suite, Quickbooks) and a dedicated audio/video editing workstation. The latter is very powerful and I'd like to use it for both jobs, but not if all those background processes (59 total), like Cortana, OneDrive, iCloud mean sacrificing resources for critical A/V work. Neither do I have the time or patience to manually disable scores of Startup apps and services each time I throw my A/V hat on.

Unable To Run Batch File At Startup

Jan 17, 2016

I am trying to run a batch file with these contents:

Code:
ECHO OFFTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /internalTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /external

I've tried putting a shortcut to it in the startup folder, putting the bat itself in the startup folder, and running it as a task using task scheduler. I also have UAC completely disabled. It runs fine when I run it myself, but it won't run at startup. How can I get to run when I start the computer?

Or maybe hidden deep within the registry it may be possible Tick the right Box to do it for us. Looking for some Positive Answers.???

Batch File Won't Open Programs

Nov 10, 2015

I am trying to make a batch file that will run multiple programs at once.

No matter what I do I can't get a batch file to open anything. I have tried a wide variety of programs and command formats. In every instance, the CMD window flashes on screen, and will not stay open even if I end my batch with "Pause".

I even checked Window's file extensions (per another thread on here) to ensure that batch files are properly unassociated.

After trying a wide variety of things, I have stripped my test batch file down to this code:

@echo off

START C:WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE

pause

Why I can't get this to work. Oh, and yes I have tried running the batch file as administrator.

I had written and saved the text in Word and then changed the file type to .bat. Creating it in Notepad totally fixed that issue.

Apps :: Doesn't Open Through A Batch File

Dec 8, 2015

I have a desktop running with a few apps 24/7 feeding to a network, on the rare occasion it drops or restarts due to some update or power outage I thought I could write a simple batchfile just to restart everything automatically.

Problem is 1 app refuses to start, the app itself is in c:program files (x86) and that seems to be the issue. Error message I get is "cannot find c:program"

path for the app is...

C:Program Files (x86)COAAPlanePlotterPlanePlotter.exe

the other 2 apps open fine (but they are not pathed to (x86). am I going daft or missed something simple?

(Win 10 64 bit all updted)

Apps :: Start Program From A Batch File

Aug 19, 2015

I'm trying to create a batch file that should

- call another batch file
- start a program and then wait for the program to close
- call another batch file

My goal with this is to work around an issue in Windows 10 where the screensaver won't work when I have my game controllers connected. I already created two batch files where one of them enables my game controllers and the other one disables them. Both these batch files work just fine.

However I now want to create a third batch file that will do what listed above - first call the batch file that will enable my game controllers, then start my program which is an executable and then after I exited out of the program the batch file that will disable my game controllers should be called.

Here's what I've tried but this doesn't work, it will only run the first batch file enabling my game controllers.

Code:
"c:utilGame controllers - Enable.cmd"start "P:Program Files (x86)Lockheed MartinPrepar3D v2Prepar3D.exe""c:utilGame controllers - Disable.cmd"

Batch File For Deleting Temporary Files

Mar 26, 2016

I've just made a very simple batch file for cleaning my temp folder. I've put the .bat file in my startup folder so it would clean TEMP when i log in. I've wrote down the following lines:

rd D:TEMP /s /q
md D:TEMP

As i said, very simple. But the problem is that it is not working. I also think i know why; there are files and folders in the temporary folder that are in use so the batch file can't delete them.

Cannot Connect To Windows Services Message After Login

Dec 2, 2015

I'm not sure what all is affected by "Windows services" not connecting but since that happened, I am unable to access my Outlook email and a solitaire game won't open. I'm also trying to update Windows Defender but it won't finish updating. And, I have checked to see if an update is due and it just never stops looking for one. Little blue dots, little blue dots, little blue dots...

I have not downloaded anything from anywhere.

I never had any problems with Vista or 8.1. I'm almost ready to go back to 8.1.

Performance :: Via Bootup Screen Unable To Choose Which Services Startup

Feb 10, 2016

It seems Microsoft has eliminated a feature I once used prolifically: Hardware Profiles. Windows-10 does have a "hardware profile", but it is nothing like what was in XP (or in Win-7, as I understand it). I want to know if there is an alternative in Windows-10 that allows me to control which Services are enabled or disabled from one session to the next, based on the currently selected profile (XP also had User Profile, but that's a different beast, and that still seems to exist in Win-10).

In the older O/S'es (XP, 2ooo, and NT for sure), you could set up multiple "hardware profiles" (silly name because it related as much to controlling Services as it did to controlling Devices). You give each profile a name, and set which one is the default startup if you let the screen time out. This is like the timeout in a multi-boot menu, and it's a menu that comes up right after the O/S menu if you are multi-booted. If you're single boot, it comes up at that same moment in the boot process.

Then, in the properties dialog for an individual Service, in the Logon tab (if I recall correctly, or maybe it was a "Startup" tab), those profile names you made will show up as a list allowing you to set enable at bootup or disable at bootup for each profile in that list.
