If you want an easy way to do this get FSAutostart or Alacrity. These allow you to see whats running and make these selections (turn off this, that, etc) and save it as a profile which you just run from the desktop before running CoD.

Just reboot to get them all back.

Also if you run the free Commodo antivirus it has a Gaming Mode which stops Updates etc from interfering with the game.

I know I can shut down everything. I dont want to. I do not need to... And CPU/GPU performance or RAM usage is no issue to me. Actually at the moment the greatest issue in il2:clod, to me, is everything happening in the background popping up on the game.
