I am a web developer/designer during the day, but at night I play DJ gigs. For music, I need several hardware components disabled. Then, after the gig, I reenable all of the hardware. Each of these operations takes about 10-15 minutes.
I have read some documentation on using PowerShell to accomplish this, but I have never been able to produce a working script that will do the stuff I need all in one go. Shell scripting has never been a particular strong point of mine.
A batch file, or some other script would be preferable to a full-blown app. I realize that a few "game boosters" will disable services, but none (that I have found) offer one-click hardware enable/disable functionality. It seems like a no-brainer (to me, anyway), but to my knowledge no such code/app/script exists.
P.S.: Currently on Windows 8.1.
