Unusual service in Windows 10 RS1: CDPUserSvc

Clean Windows 10 install, browser takes 15 seconds to start, after applying tweaks, cold start takes 2 seconds. MS is sooo clever.

Windows by default is meant to be used by everyone, it is up to the user to customize it to his needs.

 

True, Linux might not be an option for many games, but the vast majority aren't gamers. And as I said, previous versions of Windows will also suffice for most such users complaining about Win10, including those playing non-DX12 games.

If that's how it's treated then that's cool, but I do see people making serious allegations and yet using the OS while desperately trying to tinker with it. is all that comes to mind in such instances.

Simple customizing is a whole different thing compared to what I see people doing, which is yanking out internals of the OS and meddling with stuff they have no clue about. If they don't trust the OS (or Win10 in particular) then they shouldn't be using it, as simple as that. It's just plain common sense. And yet I see people with tin-foil hats on still using it and thinking by using some tools of dubious origin they have done a great job 'fixing' the OS.

 

I can definitively agree with that, but it's sure fun to abuse it in a virtual machine, playing with it's guts like a
hobby surgeon

 

Hence why you set START in the mentioned registry keys to 4 (disable) - then those services, random number or not wont start at all - pay attention, will ya

 

Oh but they do, and I'm paying great attention! Services keys are set to 4, and it just starts under a different ID, so I dunno what system you're running?, but this s**t just keeps on running, regardless

 

Only way i could stop CDPUserSvc_xxxxx was by taking ownership of C:\Windows\System32\CDPUserSvc.dll and renaming it to CDPUserSvc.dll.bak

When you set the parent service to 4, child service will not run, regardless of its random number.

 

Disable with regedit:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPUserSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MessagingService]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OneSyncSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PimIndexMaintenanceSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UnistoreSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UserDataSvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WpnUserService]
"Start"=dword:00000004

Save As... Disable_Service_xxxxx.reg

Restart PC

Delete with regedit:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPUserSvc]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MessagingService]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OneSyncSvc]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PimIndexMaintenanceSvc]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UnistoreSvc]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UserDataSvc]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WpnUserService]

Save As... Delete_Service_xxxxx.reg

 

I can confirm that this works, after re-boot the services stays disabled.
This is also the preferred way of doing it as it's non-destructive.

Funny that when you try to do this with services.msc, it throws an error and wont allow you to disable it

 

If you ask me, your playing with fire

 

I corrected my post, the "child services" wont start, i was wrong.
It's enough to disable it's daddy

 

Do you even know if this effects anything else in Windows 10

Do you even believe Microsoft has any other objective besides spying?

They even have SPY words in font size 200 as a framed canvas painting at the main entrance. So the employees who enter the campus know exactly what they are supposed to do whole day. Windows is just a byproduct.

 

You just said that it's enough to disable the main service. Yes, that really looks like it would be incredibly hard to do.
And, if you try to think a little about how those sub-services are instantiated, even the random name suffixes may begin to make sense to you.

Just read through this topic, even people who know how to disable services had a hard time finding out how to do it, imagine common folks, who are accustomed to do via services.msc, like DiagTrack (the main service for spying), which was renamed, so online guides will only confuse people now, not to mention, it has been tight to apps and MS account, so they will not work properly without it.

Sorry to hear that
Personally I try to avoid destructive surgery when it isn't needed, as stopping these services seems
to be sufficient, at least for now.
Changing permissions on registry keys that only Trustedinstaller has access to, or throwing them away,
is playing with fire
