Few days ago I came across a site that shows tasks which are scheduled by Windows by default. Some are reasonable, but some are as usual useless. Here are few that I thought are good to be switched off:
AitAgent - Aggregates and uploads Application Telemetry information if opted-in to the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program.
ProgramDataUpdater - Collects program telemetry information if opted-in to the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program
Consolidator - If the user has consented to participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program, this job collects and sends usage data to Microsoft.
KernelCeipTask - The Kernel CEIP (Customer Experience Improvement Program) task collects additional information about the system and sends this data to Microsoft. If the user has not consented to participate in Windows CEIP, this task does nothing.
UsbCeip - The USB CEIP (Customer Experience Improvement Program) task collects Universal Serial Bus related statistics and information about your machine and sends it to the Windows Device Connectivity engineering group at Microsoft. The information received is used to help improve the reliability, stability, and overall functionality of USB in Windows. If the user has not consented to participate in Windows CEIP, this task does not do anything.
ScheduledDefrag - This task defragments the computers hard disk drives. (If you are running Windows on a VirtualMachine, I guess this is useless)
WinSAT - Measures a system's performance and capabilities (Why measures it everyday?)
