Set it up for two different profiles.

One profile, the Main Default, set up to run things normally, and go online.

The second profile, I typically name something like "DAW" -- and it is set up with the NIC card disabled, NO Antivirus running to slow down disk streaming for no good reason, plus any other tweaks necessary to turn the puter into a lean, mean, recording machine.

Switching profiles is then just a matter of choosing Restart and making the selection at Reboot.

And that may seem like it takes too long, but think about this: When you perform the Profile switch via the Reboot, you also clear all resources, such as RAM usage and certain Temp files, which will only serve to allow the machine to do your Recording or other music-making tasks faster and likely better.
