Get Faster Speeds from Windows 8

You can turn off two services on Windows 8 to allow it to run faster. Remote Assistance is running in the background in case you may want someone to log onto your computer and fix it, must users do not use the service and it can be a security hole on the computer. The other service is System Restore which allows you to revert your computer to a particular point back in time. Mostly used by users who have a virus but the save points never clear out the virus so it is not as helpful as intended.

To turn off these services:

1. On the desktop view, right mouse click on the bottom left corner Windows logo

2. Click on System on the menu

3. On the left side click on the link titled Remote Settings

4. Uncheck the box for Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer

5. Click the Apply button

6. Then click the tab at the top of this window titled System Protection

7. Click on your Hard-drive (C:) on the list in the middle of the window

8. Next click the Configure button

9. Then click the radio circle button to choose Disable system protection

10. Click Apply button then Yes button on the next pop-up

11. Click the OK button and then the OK button again

12. Now you can close out of the System window
