Oops!<\/p>\n<p>My goals are to prevent my Windows 10 laptop from ever<br \/>\naccessing the Internet or the hard drive except when I tell<br \/>\nit to. After having disabled all manner of things, such as<br \/>\nnearly all the services Black Viper says are safe to disable<br \/>\n&#8212; plus a couple he doesn&#8217;t say are safe &#8212; Process Monitor<br \/>\nstill shows that Windows components in the WBEM folder<br \/>\nare accessed by the hard drive quite a bit. A *LOT* of other<br \/>\nthings, too, but at the moment I&#8217;m just asking about WBEM.<br \/>\nDo I need it, or can I turn it off? Pretty obviously you need<br \/>\nto know more about what I&#8217;m doing with the computer in<br \/>\norder to determine whether I require WBEM, but I don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nwhat you need to know, so I&#8217;ll just wait for you to ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Jeff, in Minneapolis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":6},"question-category":[65],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-4669","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-10"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/4669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=4669"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=4669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
