Switch off the System Control Manager - how it works

The System Control Manager is an important system service on notebooks. If you still want to switch it off, this practical tip will show you how you should proceed.

Switch off System Control Manager - you have to do that

• Under older Windows systems such as Windows XP and Vista, the System Control Manager - SCM for short - provides important control elements.
• This allows the so-called Fn keys to be controlled, particularly on laptops, and thus to adjust volume, brightness and more.
• We therefore advise against deactivating this service, otherwise you will no longer be able to make the above settings.
• To increase the performance of your PC or laptop, you should switch off unnecessary background services.
• If you still want to switch off the System Control Manager, go to "Control Panel"> "Programs and Features" and double-click on "SCM" to uninstall the tool.
