Programs and components to them for 7. How to enable or disable Windows components and other operations on them. Management of Windows Components

Each version of Windows carries a specific set of installed programs, functions and applications, while the user can disable (delete) unnecessary features, or add those that are needed, but not installed by default. Removing unnecessary functions, programs or applications, it is possible to release quite a lot of disk space, which is especially relevant for 100-dollar tablets, which have recently flooded the market.

In this manual, we will show how to add or remove components in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

All the necessary actions we will produce in the window called "Windows Components".

How to open "Windows Components" in Windows 7

The Windows Components window can be opened from the Delete or Change Program section (which is also known as "programs and components"). The easiest way to open the "Windows components" is to use the Start menu. To do this, you need to open the menu, enter "Enable components" in the search string and click on the appropriate item in the search results (see Screenshot below).

How to open "Windows Components" in Windows 8 and 8.1

On the desktop, press the Win + S key combination, enter "Enable components", and then in the search results, click on "Enable or disable Windows components".

In addition, there is another way that also works in Windows 7. Open the "Control Panel" and in the "Programs" section, click on the "Delete Program" link.

As a result, you will see the Windows Components window.

How to remove Windows components

Windows Components Window is a list of all functions, programs and applications available for a specific version of Windows. Components that are marked with a flag are already installed and available on your computer. To view additional information about the component, it is enough just to bring the mouse cursor.

To remove a component or program, simply remove the check box. You can delete several components at once. After that, click "OK".

When you remove the checkbox, you will see a warning that the function shutdown may affect other components, programs or settings. To learn more, you can click on the link "Details on the Internet" at the bottom of the warning. If you agree with the consequences of your choice, click "Yes." Otherwise, click "No" and the removal process (disconnection) will be canceled.

Windows requires time to make the necessary changes. Some functions can be deleted or disabled without having to restart the system. If in the case of the function you chose, everything is the case, you will be informed that Windows has completed the requested changes.

After deleting some components, Windows can inform you that in order to apply the changes, you need to restart the computer. Click "Restart Now" and wait for the process to complete. Keep in mind, the reboot will take longer than usual, since the operating system will be required to spend extra time for setting up itself according to your instructions.

How to add Windows Components

Adding components in Windows consists of the same actions as their removal. The only difference is that instead of removing the flags, they need to be installed.

During the installation process, depending on what you have chosen to install, Windows can request permission to download some files from Windows Update. Let the operating system do this to successfully complete the installation. And in some cases, Windows may even ask the installation disk of the operating system.

Conclusion

Is there any sense to remove some unused components and programs if you do not have enough disk space? The answer is yes!

For example, if you, being a user of Windows 7, do not use gadgets, Windows Media Center, DVD studio, "Internet games", "Other games", as well as a fax and scanner, the removal of these components will allow you to free a total of 0.24 GB (245 MB). This is a decent savings when free disk space is a real problem.

Services in Windows 7 are the basis of the operating system. These are programs run automatically or manually. One or more services can be part of individual components of Windows 7. Connecting each service loads the processor and the RAM used memory. This can significantly affect the stability of any computer and lead to a decrease in its performance. In order not to happen, you need to know which services are really extra, and from time to time to optimize the system through "Enabling and disable Windows components".
