1. Click the Start ->Run-> type msconfig
2. Click->Services tab, check the option "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, reboot the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the option "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
