The Plug and Play service formerly known as the "Plug and Pray" service, due to its past unreliability , is kicked off whenever new hardware is added to the computer. This service detects the new hardware and attempts to automatically configure it for use with the computer. The Plug and Play service is often confused with the Universal Plug and Play service uPNP , which is a way that the Windows XP computer can detect new network resources as opposed to local hardware resources.
The Plug and Play service is pretty critical as, without it, your system can become unstable and will not recognize new hardware. On the other hand, uPNP is not generally necessary and can be disabled without worry. Historical note: Way back in , uPNP was implicated in some pretty serious security breaches, as described here.
If you disable Plug and Play, your computer will be unstable and incapable of detecting hardware changes. Just about every computer out there needs to print at some point. If you want your computer to be able to print, don't plan on disabling the Print Spooler service. It manages all printing activities for your system. You may think that lack of a printer makes it safe to disable the Print Spooler service. While that's technically true, there's really no point in doing so; after all, if you ever do decide to get a printer, you'll need to remember to re-enable the service, and you might end up frustrating yourself.
When the Print Spooler service is not running, printing on the local machine is not possible. Windows is a pretty complex beast, and many of its underlying processes need to communicate with one another. RPC allows processes to communicate with one another and across the network with each other.
A ton of other critical services, including the Print Spooler and the Network Connections service, depend on the RPC service to function. If you want to see what bad things happen when you disable this service, look at the comments on this link. Tested by:.

I see no need for Network Connections when using cable, so I guess I'll be fine without it like you when using wireless. Looking forward to try my new nLite CD.
Let me know if it works Xan. Prospects not so good. Windows users do not disable UAC. Pages: [ 1 ] Go Up. All rights reserved.
