There are two Dragon browsers open, one has one tab open. The other has two tabs open. The only other thing "open" was Task Manager, and the Command Console.
(aside from AVG and Lightshot, which I realize sit in the system tray, among a couple other things; Realtek HD Audio Manager, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver)
edit to add:
I have created another restore point, and stopped the following services via their Properties window(s) in services.msc :
All have been stopped and set to manual, except two, as noted with (*), which were not started.
I will run the previous Command Prompt commands after another reboot and pause with no programs open.
(I wanted to be sure I could restart, and access the internet before going further).

Skype and Team Viewer tasks should probably have been handles through, or from, their own program consoles, I realize.
However, I am trying to weed through the things which were listed as 'automatic' on the list in services.msc
