• If you are worried about the effect of disabling these services, well, I have been turning them off since nearly a month now, and never had any problem. If you are a stand alone user who accesses the internet by wireless or by Ethernet cable, and normally printing, and using Wireless/Bluetooth communications, you will never get any problem. Delightfully, You will gain all the resources consumed by these services. It will save a lot of battery power, memory, and processing power.""
Just a question , do any of these affect the edge modem's functionality? Thanks!!

Disabling the Windows Firewall is not recommended unless you running an alternative security suite. The fact that you haven't had a problem in a month doesn't mean you are not doing some damage.
