Recap:  there are only THREE items in ALL of Phase 3 that "might not" be for 'everybody'.

1)  sc.exe config Spooler start= disabled  --  replace disabled with auto if you install a printer
2)  sc.exe config WpnService start= disabled  --  breaks "Open Network and Internet settings" but does not break internet connection, breaks various "toast notifications"
3)  sc.exe config WpnUserService start= disabled  --  breaks "Open Network and Internet settings" but does not break internet connection, breaks various "toast notifications"

Phase 4, on the other hand, "definitely" (intentionally!) breaks some of Win10.  Actually VERY minor, I'll post that later.
But again, ALL of Phase 3 should be FINE for "the average user" (even including #2 and #3 above, but "mileage may vary").

This is my Phase 4.

This is equivalent to where my WinReducer EX-100 process gets me in terms of cutting out all of the bloat but not in terms of how much disk space the installation consumes.

As in all previous screencaps, TWO of the processes are technically VirtualBox processes.

So my tweaking gets an as-is Win10 from 90 (100+ at startup, settles to 90) all the way down to 30 !!!

Thanks for posting this! For wifi, one can use penetwork instead to adjust wifi.

Most of the services you recommended disabling, I already had disabled. 👍🏻

But I implemented most of your other suggestions, inc. removing the unnecessary system software. Most of this, I had done with the 10586 I had locked down years ago, but that was back when I had a lot more free time to do the research. I hadn't expected to do any of it w/Win10 LTSC IoT, but it obviously became a necessity w/all this ridiculous lag. (I still can't believe it; I've never had such problems with Win10 before!)

Anyway!

After doing all of that stuff, I've been farting around w/my computer again and it does seem to now be running quite smoother.  Not sure which of your suggestions eased it, but I hope it's now going to be a lot easier to get some work done on this machine. I'll report back if it creeps in again, but at least for now it doesn't seem to be a "placebo effect" - the lag was so frequent, I'd have noticed it dozens of times by now.

So, super-duper thanks for taking the time to share all of those tips!

My pleasure. If you really want to mess around even further you can actually get some apps running while windows is booting up. I use winxshell. More info here.

 Granted it may take time to get hardware working in this way. If you're still in the mood you can disable dwm as well, if you don't need UWP/Metro for a real win vista like experience.
