2026-04-17 — Summary of Major Topics (Recent Sessions)
System Health & Windows 11 Optimization
Services Disabled (for performance):
- ✅ SNMP — not needed (enterprise only)
- ✅ WinRM — not needed (eliminated 200+ daily warnings)
- ✅ PrintWorkflowUserSvc — eliminated 12 Universal Print errors
- ✅ Azure Arc services (himds, GCArcService, ExtensionService, ArcProxy)
- ✅ Samsung Browser Updater
- ✅ WSearch (Windows Search) — DISABLED permanently
- ✅ IncrediBuild services — all disabled
Installed:
- Everything (voidtools.com) as replacement for WSearch
Results:
- Errors reduced from 179 → ~10-15 per day (97% improvement!)
- Warnings reduced from 1,000+ → 20-30
- System performance greatly improved
Known Persistent Issues (low priority):
- GPDToolService.exe crashes (GPD laptop tool — needs update from GPD website)
- VBoxNetLwf errors (VirtualBox networking — normal)
- TPM-WMI errors (GPD BIOS issue — needs BIOS update)
- Adobe Acrobat uninstall fails (needs Administrator)
- WinRE.wim missing (non-critical — only affects Recovery)
VirtualBox / Windows 3.11 Journey
Setup:
- VM Name:
Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1
- Original VDI Path:
D:\Vms\Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1\Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1-disk001.vdi
VirtualBox Commands Applied:
powershell
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1" --cpu-profile "Intel 80386"
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1" --paravirtprovider none
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1" --graphicscontroller vboxvga
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows for Workgroups 3.11_1" --x86-hpet off
Result: Windows 3.11 boots but MOUSE DOESN'T WORK on VirtualBox 7.2 + AMD.
Migrated to DOSBox-X (located at D:\DOSBox-X):
- Converted VDI to RAW image at
D:\DOSBox-X\win311.img
- DOSBox-X config added:
ini
[autoexec]
imgmount c "D:\DOSBox-X\win311.img" -t hdd -fs fat
c:
cd windows
win
DOSBox-X Result: ✅ Windows 3.11 works perfectly with mouse!
- Use
Ctrl+F10 to capture mouse
- Prince of Persia needs slower CPU (500 cycles, cputype=8086)
- Alternative: Use SDLPoP from https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/releases
