Tired of manually shutting down all the running Services on your Windows Box to get more Performance for your Gaming Sessions ?
Thanks to good old .bat files and the
net Command you can switch your system to Gaming Mode and back with a single click. Here´s how:
Check your running Services and see their Names:
1. Open a DOS Command Prompt (start -> run ->
cmd )
2. type in "
net start"
This will give you a list of all the Services currently running.
Create a .bat file
Create a empty text file on your desktop and insert the services you want to be stopped in the following form
net stop "Automatic Updates" /y
net stop "Printer Spooler" /y
and so on..
Use the names you got from the
"net start" command and put them in quotes behind
"net stop"Save this file as
stop_services.bat or whatever you like.

You can also create another .bat file to start all the services again after you played by using "
net start":
net start "Automatic Updates"
net start "Printer Spooler"
Get rid of the window
If all runs well you can create a Shortcut to your .bat file and choose run as minimized in its properties. If you then start the shortcut instead of directly starting the .bat file, the window Labels: games, MAD Projects, software
