I found this;

Workstation
Creates and maintains client network connections to remote servers. If this service is stopped, these connections will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Comment: If you are not in a local network sharing data (files and/or services), disable it.


But when I go to disable this, I get a message that my Browser depends on it ???

Why then is this a service that is suggested or recommended to disable ?
When you don't have to worry about your computer anymore, you can start
