SP 52447: Disable the “HID Input Service” to improve system performance

Symptom: When you start the Services applet in “Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools”, the “Startup Type” setting for the “HID Input Service” may be set to “Automatic” or “Manual”.
Resolution: Modify the system registry settings to disable the “HID Input Service” in Windows.
Additional Information: The “HID Input Service” enables generic input access to Human Interface Devices (HID), which activates and maintains the use of predefined hot buttons on keyboards, remote controls, and other multimedia devices. Disabling this service will save memory and resources if you do not have peripherals that that require the “HID Input Service”.
