Well this seems too technical for me..
Any how I love default settings from Microsoft and i don wanna change it.
Thanks for this input. I needed this information. I am a strong believer in minimalism when it comes to running processes. If it’s not needed, disable it. I’ve done that right away.

We share some common attributes when it comes to process. I keep a close eye on every process running on my system and this is where I got this idea to search for ctfmon.exe and disable it.
and now, my system configuration always “turn off advanced text service”.. i need this back, my language bar cannot work.. can u help me?
