Every time Windows starts up, it starts up services that are used rarely or never. These services can occupy a
large amount of the system's resources and slow down your PC. To prevent these services from not working
when you need them, you should only turn them off temporarily for an added performance boost.
Turn off rarely used services: This setting turns off services that are only needed in specific
circumstances (e.g. company networks) or situations (e.g. installation of new programs) when Turbo
Mode is on.
Turn off special encryption services: When Turbo Mode is on, this setting turns off services for logging
onto a domain.
Turn off network communication services: When Turbo Mode is on, this setting turns off network
communication services that are rarely used, e.g. fax or peer-to-peer services.
Step 7: How long should Turbo Mode stay switched on?
The Turbo Mode can either be switched off automatically when the computer is shut down, or stay on until you
switch it off manually. If you leave Turbo Mode on constantly, this can also speed up the startup process.
However, please note that for the system performance increase, the features that you selected in the
configuration wizard must be switched off. If, when Turbo Mode is on, you are missing a required feature, turn
Turbo Mode off and modify your settings so that when you restart Turbo Mode, this feature is available again.
Click Finish to close the wizard.
