Windows Installer
- if you want to keep installing those games, i reccomend you do not switch this.
Actually you are both wrong
Windows installer is manual by default. If you change it to auto or disabled then you will get an error that the windows installer service is not running or that they is an install already in progress. It starts and stops as it needs.
also you dont know what you are saying
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
-This one is only in the do not change section because... you CAN turn off the Universal plug and play device HOST, but, let me warn you that if you disable Plug and play in general, you will have a great many problems on your pc
You can turn off Universal Plug and Play Device Host safely. It has NOTHING TO DO with plug 'n' play with regards to hardware. Universal Plug and Play (UpNp) is a networking technology for discovering routers, xboxes etc...
However, you are right in that you should never turn off the "Plug and Play" service or else the vast majority of your hardware wont work.
