Is it bad that I deleted RPC?
Brian Chavez
Hi Saemus,
You should be careful what you delete, some windows services are core services in windows and could render your OS non-functional.
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is used in conjunction with some networking services. For example, administering a computer remotely over a network via MMC or commandline is one area where RPC comes into play. Some local service might rely on RPC too, so I think it might have been a bad to delete RPC. If you find things not working, it may be a sign that RPC was needed.
But, if you’re computer is still working normally, and you don’t notice any difference, you might be OK. Just be careful next time! :)
Take care,
Brian
