    All, I just purchased a new GS70. I'm trying to decrapafy my applications and things that run in the background or at startup.

    What should I be able to remove from startup but be able to work when I need it to? I'm thinking:

    1. MSI LED Keyboard?
    2. Killer Network Manager?
    3. Realtek HD Audio Manager?
    4. Soundblaster Cinema?
    5. SCM (System Control Manager)?
    6. Intel ME FW Recovery Agent?
    7. Invidia GeForce Experience?

    I'm also thinking the others like "Action Center", "Elan Pointing Devices", "Bluetooth Devices", "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" will need to stay? Anything doesn't make sense?

    thanks in advance

    You can disable those applications without causing any issues to the system operation.

    SCM will help some of the touch style functions.
